Bellucci as Lucia... SPOILERS

I saw the film last night with my wife, and although she enjoyed it as a whole, she was annoyed with how Lucia was seemingly dropped from the plot. It's obviously implied that she would be dead within hours (if not minutes) of Bond leaving but my wife was bothered that they never clearly followed up on it, or showed Lucia again. She's convinced most people will be bothered by this, and while I agree, I think it has more to do with Bellucci's fame and all the hype surrounding her going into Spectre. My theory is if the role of Lucia were played by some complete unknown, and we knew nothing about the character going in, chances are most wouldn't care that she's dropped so abruptly. Did all of the hype and Bellucci's name give people a false expectation of what to expect from her character?

Interesting that her fate is unresolved; it's possible that she's still alive. That in itself is a bit of a departure from the Craig-era formula, where whomever sleeps with him in Act 1 or Act 2 has to die in the film.

again, she gave a very strong performance. I love as she surrenders to Bond
perhaps because he has brought an element of hope back to her, a tear runs
down her cheek. I really liked that, a lovely touch, from a great actress. -{
on the other hand, I wouldn't have mind to have seen more of her, she is absolutely S T U N N I N G!
This is what I thought, Chilling scene wheres she's do to be executed
Hopefully we'll have Felix back in the next one.
What I did not expect was her completely disappearing after the first 15 minutes.

As an aside, I thought Bellucci had considerably more chemistry with Craig than Seydoux.
