Take away the seizure mode (thanks second unit director of the Bourne series!), and add in a few more classic bad ass Bond moments, and this movie would have been every bit as good as Casino Royale. What were they thinking with those action scenes that cut between the main fight and a horse race or an opera? Do they think headaches are fun? Although most of the action scenes had too much camera shaking, they had a gritty realness that almost made up for that. The fight in the hotel room in Haiti was probably the best "realistic" fight scene on screen. Strawberry Fields was beautiful, amazing, stunning, and the best Bond girl in ages. Too bad she was not the main Bond girl. The trip down the stairs scene was probably the funniest of the movie. Do you think she has handcuffs? You hope she has handcuffs. Bond's best scene was when he said she tried to shoot me and then flipped the motorcycle. Though a close second would be when he escaped imprisonment in a hotel and talked to M before jumping on outside of some balustrades over the main entrance of the hotel and walked along the sidings while the people after him were on the inside part of the hallway. The final fight scenes were the most rewarding. The movie is pretty much non-stop action. This would not be so bad if the camera would stop shaking for a few seconds.
8.3/10.0
