OK so it is not a Disney Flim, but has anyone seen the Quantum of Solace film yet? I for one am off tonight to see the movie and wondered if anyone else had seen it yet?
Here in the UK the movie is getting mixed reviews, and I can see why. Without spoiling anyone’s movie going experience here’s what I thought.
Firstly I should explain that I am a big fan of the Bond franchise from Ian Flemming’s original books to the big screen offerings even the weird 1960’s Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Orson Welles, Daliah, Woody Allen version of Casino Royale.
Having read most of the books and short stories I think Daniel Craig’s James Bond is more in line with the character as written by Flemming. He is not the wise cracking, girls, gag’s and gadgets bond in the way many of the other incarnations, he is the hard edged, colder Bond of the books. Have a read of the James Bond Short Stories. This latest Bond is closer to the original than even Sean Connery’s interpretation.
Over all it is a great action film, the pace is fast, the editing is dynamic and the story moves along. Whilst there is no “My name is Bond, James Bond” in the film there are a few nice little homage’s to the early, gritty films. I enjoyed it immensely, but as I said I am a fan.
I've heard this was very good, but not to kid friendly, of course who every would think bond would be kid friendly. He seduces every female that he comes into contact with LOL.
