QUANTUM OF SOLACE REVEIW

very few things transcend generations and leave a lasting impression one of those things are james bond.this week i went to go see Quantum of solace with some friends. the experience started off great with a spirt trailer for the spirt then the movie just went down hill from there. the movie picks up with a car case with so many cut scenes of the cars with so many motion blurs. i couldn't tell what was what. when there wasn't a motion blur the car took up 3/4 of the screen. then we find out that there's a secret organization with people every where. then bond chase down the traitor and then the story goes through the same thing every bond does

one he finds out the villains plot.the villain is stealing water and causing a draught south america country.

two bond goes to the villains hideout(in this movie its a eco-hotel) and its destroyed in a shot out. god forbid to he leaves some evidence.

 i really wanted to like it but it just kept pushing me away. i think it was about an hour in to the movie then came the goldfinger reference. the girl who was sent to send bond back to london except she's seduced and taken to a party by bond and then left behind. she's found later in the hotel room covered in oil. what was the point of this and to add insult to injury she's in the same pose.

when the camera cuts out to a shot from outside the tunnel the scenery is incredible but no lets put the camera in the best possible angle for viewing the grill how exciting. marc foster has also been taking from the jason bourne play book.

the film is mediocre. it takes no risk and doesn't really excite. it doesn't really feel like a bond movie. it seems like any old action movie with an environmental twist but who really cares. it missing the suave of the the sean connery films. you know what for the next bond film they should drop daniel craig and bring back sean connery. thats right i want to see a 78 year old man fight off the bad guys and it will be even more impressive when he does it with a broken hip.
