Quantum Of Solace

I went for this movie yesterday. I have been waiting eagerly for this one, since the last few months have been getting a lot of crappy releases.

I am and (hopefully) will always remain an ardent James Bond fan.
I have seen almost all the Bond movies.


I have had a hard time getting used to Pierce Brosnan's Bond but oddly enough it has been easier accepting Daniel Craig's version. I did have initial skepticism but Casino Royale convinced me that Daniel was going to bring in a new "Era of Bondness" to the franchise.

I am with all the other followers that Daniel Craig's movies are not "classic" Bond movies.. they are not... we have to accept it and move along.

This year has seen movies like Dark Knight, Bourne Ultimatum and Iron Man. They are not the classic heroes but the new age of heroes are lean mean.. fighting machines.. (superman.. take notice). In a similar style Quantum of Solace is all about the meanness. We are given a feel of what MI 6 is up against in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace builds up on that. Daniel does justice as Bond, the remorseless Brit Agent with his own agenda.

Cons: The only con I have with the movie is .. "where are the Gadgets.. helloooo..." How can you have indiana jones without his whip or batman without his batmobile.

The only gadget Bond seems to have is a cell phone which is pretty lame considering the fact that iphone or Gphone would actually be more cooler and more functional than the phone he had.


Overall... it was a good movie and I left the theater feeling happy and eagerly waiting for the next one.
Go BOND..
