April 19th - Q is for Quantum of Solace

April 19th - Q is for Quantum of Solace

 
I was looking for a Q movie, and I remembered that the second Daniel Craig James Bond movie started with a Q. I’m not planning on using Skyfall as my S, but I do intend to watch it. Maybe after I done with the April Challenge I’ll do that one. The down side to doing two movies from the same franchise is that I expect this review to come out much like the one for Casino Royale.
 
This movie seems to start up right where Casino Royale left off. In fact, it starts off in a very similar way to how the first one did. They hit off the action as soon as the opening credits finish. The action sequences are very satisfying and Bond is definitely not invincible in this movie. He’s much more experienced for what must have only have been a couple of weeks, at most, from the end of the last one. I do find it nice that they didn’t have Bond sleep with every female character in this. It shows that Casino Royale did have some impact on Bond’s life after that movie.
 
SO, in conclusion, not very great music, still realistic enough fight scenes, and still the same amount of story told in the last parts of the movie. This movie is as good as the last one, but I don’t think I can call it better. I still love how the action scenes are done, but god the things they do to nice cars! 4 out of 5.

  1. Does anyone else find this Bond irritating? I'm not a huge James Bond fan, but I'd choose any of the others over Daniel Craig any day. Not that I don't like Daniel, just not as Bond.

    Have fun with a-z.

    1. I like Daniel Craig over some of the others, but he is more of the silent brooding type as compared to some of the others. I still love Sean Connery the most though.
