Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace is not as good as Casino Royale, that's first and foremost. The villain is pretty disappointing I must say, he's this skinny 105 lb white guy who isn't threatening or malicious at all, with a henchman who is even more gangly and funny looking. He's just a guy who belongs to "the organization" that Bond is after. You never really find out what Quantum of Solace means, you find out what Quantum is at the end, or at least something that resembles Quantum. I don't want to say this movie is bad, cause its not bad, but it's just not as good as it should have been. Olga Kurelynko is pretty hot though. Other than that it has the same ole M and Bond back and forth jokes, the same Bond charm, some good action scenes, and the ending leaves you inquiring more similar to Casino Royale. I thought the locations they went to were kind of boring looking too, they all seemed to kind of run together instead of having a different path. It's like run down South American village, to poor South American slums, to a nice villa in Cairo for a few seconds, then over to a desert.

Not to mention the opening song, which most have heard, is terribad.

I understand there's not much point to it, but I do it sometimes if I enjoy the show. I guess it just benefits me.

I don't mind the camera movement. I just hated the story and concept. I was excited when it was first announced but as it got closer my interested subsided. By the time I went to see it, bored.

The director must be a seriously twitchy ****er - the endless quick camera cuts during the action sequences bordered on annoying, but not enough to derail the film. I liked the story, found it to be much more interesting that the critics indicated (big shock there).

3. If you miss the foppish, gadgety Bond, go rent one of the 150 prior movies. This Bond ain't that, and IMO, that's a good thing.



P.S. The opening song did indeed suck donkey dick. Ugh. What has been heard, cannot be unheard.
Sounds good to me. I will hopefully catch it in the next week or so.

That's like hating "The Mask of Zorro" and blaming it on Speilberg because he's one of the producers.

Just sayin'.

I thought he was a creator on that flick? Guess that earns him a pass then.

I enjoyed the cheesiness of Zorro though.

Is that the first one or the second one? I liked the first one, never watched the second because I heard it sucked (my "It never happened" sequel defense).
