The New Bond
I am a big Bond fan and I have to say that I am very dissapointed with "Quantum of Solace". The only redeeming thing about this film is that it has Daniel Craig in it. They got a new director and wrote the script on the fly and I must say it shows. "Casino Royale" was awesome why did they have to stray from formula. Within the first few minutes I knew something was wrong (besides standing in line for 20 minutes like I was going to a NKOTB concert) when I got a headache from the first fight/chase sequence. The jumpy camera thing that is supposed to make you feel a part of the action is really not my thing. I had a really hard time following what was going on aka when Bond was kicking ass because I really couldn't see it. This was overall stylistically not what I expected, the script was crap (which is kind of okay because it's supposed to be about Bond and not so much the plot), the 2 chicks banged per movie was not reached, and Craig's ability to do snarky was really underutilized. As sad as it makes me feel I have to say that I didn't really like this one. I will drown my sorrows in a Bond marathon minus Brosnan and Lazenby the two worst Bonds ever... Actually I respect Lazenby for being so utterly aweful that even he knew it. I think he gave up about halfway through the film. On the other hand I detest Brosnan because he actually thought he was good.
