This film aged like fine wine in my opinion as it is so much better than I remember it being, the story is actually fairly solid and well-directed by Marc Forster who is not a super well-known director but he handled the action really well but not as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall.

I think the reason this film feels every better now if firstly I recommend watching straight after Casino Royale which shows it is actually a perfect continuation and also the bond lady is probably one of the strongest in the entire franchise as she is not a romantic interest and yet you find you love every moment between Olga Kurylenko (Camille Montes) and Daniel Craig (James Bond) who proves he is definitive as the character and loves the franchise.

The fact that this film is much better than I remembered and knowing it was made during the writing strike, just makes me love it more and more.

Give it a second chance.
