Quantum of Solace

quantumWhat were they thinking messing with the Bond formula?  It’s been successful for a reason!

The last Bond film ‘Casino Royale’ exemplified everything good about bond, charming wit, impressive gad-gits, strong sassy bond girls and amazing plot.  Quantum of Solace missed on all four counts.  Don’t get me wrong there is plenty of action scenes, but nothing new, nothing we hadn’t already seen before in the Bourne series or any other action film.

This Quantum of Solace was action without the Bond X factor that makes Bond so exciting and unique.  Yeah it was a fun movie, but I probably wouldn’t bother watching again (unlike Casino Royale which I’ve seen over 5 times).

You must go and see this flick, if only to appreciate how great the other Bond movies were!

Steph’s rating: 6/10

  1. First, the opening! What were they thinking? Every man loves to see the opening with the women. Who wrote this opening? A militant feminist? They are sexist. That is what makes them great! Every man I know sat there going..WTF? Where are the women? Finally, a hill kind of turns into a woman. The guys I was sitting with went WHEW! I thought my T & A were MIA! Then, they find out they are!
    Second, the Russian woman WAS ORANGE!! EEWW!!
    Whatever happened to T&A sexually bizarre names,(Pussy Galore)
    and Bond’s WORLD FEMALE DOMINATION??
    You made Bond a blonde. That was hard to accept, but the rest is B.S.!~~
