Most of the tense "spy" atmosphere created in the superior Casino Royale (2006) is jettisoned in this action heavy sequel. Bond kills everything in sight; the villain(s) kill everything in sight, its kill or be killed. Odd pacing elements occur when Bond and fellow killer Camille (Olga Kurylenko) interact only to be halted (in mid-sentence at most times) by more action. Not bad but could have been better and the opening sequence is fun. As one of the shorter Bond movies, an additional 10 minutes of dialog and/or character exposition could have improved logical gaps and smoothed out the rougher edges.
