Chemistry Lacking and Cliffhangers not welcome

I agree with most critics that Daniel Craig is refreshing as Bond. I think he can balance the action with the sauve personality...at times. A huge fan of Casino Royale, having seen it several times in the theater and purchasing it the day it came out, I was a little disappointed with this sequel. I am not complaining about the fact that it was a revenge flick. I am okay with the fact that it had a lot of action. I love action. My biggest complaint is that what started out as a continuation and revenge flick turned into a movie about a small sideline story within an even larger story arc. The press has already reported that Craig has been signed on to do 4 more Bond flicks. This fact is quite apparent in the ending of the movie, which leaves you disappointed. I am all for cliffhangers that make sense, but this movie just doesn't. It simply ends without answers. This type of ending is okay for a television show, but I don't like to see it on the bigscreen. His chemistry with M and the new bond girl even lack in this film. I loved the zingers in Casino Royale, but this movie just didn't cut it. While I recommend seeing it at least once, I cannot say it is a great movie like Casino Royale.

Yep, definitely agree with you there. The previous one was better. This one was lacking in a few areas.
