Synopsis: James Bond (Craig) travels around the world to track the activities of a secret organization that buys pieces of land in the desert for an unknown purpose.
Review: The movie actually follows the events of the previous Bond episode (Casino Royale), which is rare in this franchise. But it is disconnected enough so that it can be watched independently. My first attraction to this movie comes from the fact that part of it was shot at the hotel in which I resided many times, close to the Paranal observatory in the Atacama desert in Chile, and that belongs to my company. They even organized a private projection of the movie for employees in 2008! My opinion has improved a little since I saw it that time. I found it to be a stupid succession of action scenes with explanatory scenes in between where they quickly justify the next exotic shooting location. It still felt the same but at the second viewing I could appreciate better the quality of some action shots like the ones in Sienna (Italy), and understand better the detail of the story in the explanatory scenes thanks to subtitles. It is anyway for me the third Craig Bond films in quality after Skyfall and Casino Royale, in that order.
Rating: 4 /10
