Friday, November 14th, 2008 was the release date for the new James Bond movie called Quantum of Solace, and I left the theater rather satisfied.
I walked into the movie theater knowing little about the movie; I knew that it was set after Casino Royale and that it should be really sweet. I made my way into the theater, sat in a chair and was quiet as the lights went down. The movie
starts out with a car chase and Bond’s car door getting ripped off during the chase, and along with that gunfights and crashes. Eventually he finds out about a secret organization that has agents everywhere that are basically untraceable. Without ruining the plot, know that there are some funny parts, a lot of deserts, and a lot of water.After discussing it with my group, some valid points were made. For instance, in some of the scenes the camera was too close to the action so it looked blurred. Another thing worth mentioning is that there are some loose ends now that, if they make another one, they need to tie up.Overall, though, Quantum of Solace was a good movie filled with action, a few parts that make the audience go “Wow!” and chuckle. Even though it was a different director, the actors were very well cast and the script was very well written. What some of the old-school Bond fans aren’t looking at, though, is that these movies are prequels to all of the super-smooth and somewhat cheesy “Bond, James Bond” stuff. However, the best review is the one you make of the movie, so go out and watch it. I give this movie a 9/10.
