Quantum of Solace

James Bond is one of those icons that will never die for us. He really is the prefect character. The men all want to be him, the women all want to be with him. He is the perfect escape character for all of us. James Bond can do everything, and always, always gets his girl.

So how does this most recent addition to the James Bond series add up? Well, if it’s action scenes and great car chases you’re looking for, then look no further. But if you’re looking for a deeper more meaningful story, then this might not be the film for you. Now say what you will about Casino Royale, but I really enjoyed that one. Quantum of Solace, however, I liked a little less. I think this may be due to the fact that I just feel like the story didn’t really add up to much. It does have some unbelievable scenes though - which is great - but not enough to make this film overall great. I did, though, absolutely love the scene at the opera - it was pure genius, and oh so beautiful to watch.

Daniel Craig is a great James Bond though. I feel he has the ability to be suave and smart, while adding this hardcore raw element that makes James Bond that much hotter. And he really is very good in Quantum of Solace. The girl, though, I feel was miscast. She’s beautiful to look at, but I feel she lacks the ability to have us really feel with her. Jeffrey Wright, though, is always fun to watch. I loved him in Casino Royale, and I feel he’s just as good in this one.

If you’re looking for a fun, entertaining film, well then Quantum of Solace will satisfy you, but don’ expect another Casino Royale with this one. Overall, this one is fun, but that’s about it. 7/10.

Happy viewing everyone! =)
