The lavish hotel that the evil general and the main villain Dominic Greene occupy at the end of the film,the Paranal Observatory’s ESO Hotel, gets burned up in a fire in the middle of the desert, when the macguffin of the story is water. Here are seven things I liked about the film despite it’s weaknesses. Camera movement can’t solve weak story telling. It does have a revenge theme to it that I like, and there are a few sequences that work pretty well, but my guess is that they had the wrong director and an incomplete script. I got the feeling there was a political statement here somewhere, but it was not clear what they wanted to say, and people don’t go to a Bond movie for the message. Maybe it suffers from comparison to it’s companion piece, or maybe it is the dour villain and odd subject. A slight misfire from the EON team after the success of “Casino Royale”.
