Why It's Just Another Way To Die

 * 1) It's a good follow up to Casino Royale, and concludes the whole Vesper Lynd story-arc very well.
 * 2) Awesome acting, from actors such as Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Giancarlo Giannini, Gemma Arterton, Joaquín Cosío, Jeffrey Wright and Judi Dench.
 * 3) Great and memorable characters, such as Camille Montes, Dominic Greene and General Medrano.
 * 4) James Bond and Camile Montes have plenty of chemistry throughout the movie.
 * 5) Decent cinematography.
 * 6) Fantastic action sequences that are fun to watch, such as the fight scene with the double agent, the opening car chase and the final battle in the hotel.
 * 7) The title sequence is amazing, and a nice change from Daniel Kleinman.
 * 8) The score by David Arnold is really good.
 * 9) *Speaking of the music, Another Way to Die by Jack White and Alicia Keys is a good Bond song.
 * 10) *The remixed iconic James Bond theme in the end credits is really nice to listen to.
 * 11) Really cool locations that fit well with the movie.
 * 12) Just like its predecessor, the tone is still just as consistent.
 * 13) Strawberry Fields covered in oil is a great nod to Goldfinger.

 * 16) *"Sounds like you've just lost another one!"
 * 17) *"I never left."
 * 18) Good direction by Marc Forster.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Bond leaving Greene in the middle of the desert for nothing was a bit cruel. Admittedly however, Greene is Pure Evil and Pure Evil's never get an excess punishment so it's only a minor bad quality.
 * 2) Some of the writing isn't great.
 * 3) *But this was partly due to the Writers Strike and it wasn't hit as bad as other films.
 * 4) The pacing is slow at times.
 * 5) Although Dominic Greene is a memorable villain is mentioned above, he could've been a bit more threatening to Bond and Camille.
 * 6) The henchman, like Elvis and Lieutenant Orso aren't great.
 * 7) Some of the violence can be a bit too strong for a PG-13 movie, in fact, it feels like it belongs in an R-rated movie.
 * 8) *Though it is not as strong as a certain scene from the previous film.
 * 9) Although the action scenes are fun to watch as mentioned above, the editing can be very choppy, making it hard to tell what's going on.
 * 10) The movie can take itself a bit too seriously.
 * 11) *But at least it is far from being camp like mh:awfulmovies:Die Another Day.
 * 12) Some parts can be a bit rushed.
 * 13) Strawberry Fields doesn't get a lot of screen time in the movie.
