Bond Review

On Saturday we went to see the new James Bond film, and finally have chance to give you my review.

‘Quantum of Solace’ is directed by Marc Forster and stars Daniel Craig as James Bond; also starring Mathieu Amalric, Olga Kurylenko, Gemma Arterton, Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, and Giancarlo Giannini. All in all, I enjoyed the film:
- It was filled w/ action galore throughout
- Locations were cool
- Plot was very good and flowed quite well, much better than ‘Casino Royale’
- Bond Woman was the best one yet, not being a useless bimbo like the others who were all like, ‘Oh James! Take me…’ w/o any question. Though, the Bond Women in this film was brilliant: not only is she bloody hot, but also she kicks some major ARSE!
- And more…

However, there are several things that made ‘Quantum of Solace’ quite disappointing and are as follows:

- I hate Daniel Craig as James Bond: He is not suave the way Bond should be, and sucks all the charm and charisma out of everything. I loved the way Roger Moore portrayed James Bond (my favourite Bond yet), and I think since him the quality of portrayal of Bond has gone down the loo.
- No cool gadgets
- No Q for another Bond film, who I really miss
- Not really any wicked cars, other than for about ten minutes in the first scene
- And more…

Overall, I felt quite disappointed at end of the film, and I felt like I really wanted more depth from it. But, do check ‘Quantum of Solace’ out for yourselves; very much recommended for high action, quite the dog’s bollocks of a time! ***THREE STARS***
