Quantum of Solace

Legendary Movie Review is Back!

And so is James Bond.....or so I thought



Now I for one was stoked about the new direction of the James Bond franchise. Casino Royale took the character back to the beginning, (call it a reboot if you'd like) and made Bond tougher, dirtier, smarter, and even cockier. James Bond wasn't only a secret agent but also a human, who gets scratched and bruised throughout his battles with evil.

Now bring on Quantum of Solace! This film is suppose to be the continuation of what happened at the end of Casino Royale. Basically Bond is on the hunt for the man behind killing his girl from the the first movie.

Right from the get go this movie is action packed. It starts with a high speed car chase and never stops from there. The movie is filled with action. Every scene is either an action sequence or a transition to an action sequence. I can't really tell you what the story is about. Something about finding out information about an organization that no national secret agency has any idea even if it exists.

Overall I'd say that this movie delivers. If you wanted to see some awesome Bond fighting stunts....it delivers. If you wanted to see Daniel Craig kick ass....it delivers. If you wanted to see Bond as the coolest man on earth....it delivers. What is doesn't deliver .....STOP RIGHT NOW IF YOU DON"T WANT TO GET SPOILED, GO TO THE NEXT PARAGRAPH NOW......is an ending. Casino Royale's ending was great. He shot a man in the leg and introduced himself with the famous line Bond, James Bond. Quantum's ending is week. It is a downer. What happened?! We don't get anything resolved. Yes, he finds the man he was looking for but what does he do with him? We don't know. And what about the organization? Do we get an insight of what this organization does, or any leads on who is behind it? NO! And what the hell is the Quantum of Solace?! I'm guessing this is all set up to the next Bond movie that will no doubt be made within the next few years. Christ! I have to wait all over again. In a way it is brilliant, they make you want more James Bond action.

With that said, Quantum of Solace is a great action packed Bond film. It gets an A - Awesome just for that alone. It may not live up to Casino Royale but hopefully it will be a transition needed to greater Bond films in the foreseeable future. Go see it if you like James Bond in anyway.
