A decade ahead of our tastes...

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2008)

The ultimate action movie that sets the standards for another decade of stunt filming. Reasonably misunderstood in many ways, yet brilliant for those able to catch-up and connect the numerous dots in the plot.
First of all, i should explain why 8 and not 9 or 10. The reason is everybody's favorite - irritating shaky camera which kinda disables us to fully enjoy some action parts of the movie, especially the opening car-chase scene. The idea is innovative, even admirable (like it was in the Bourne series) but this amount of it only produces headache.
The plot is solid, intensively complex, a bit confusing for the viewers looking for die another day-like futuristic entertainment. I would even call QoS a psychological action-thriller. Craig is brilliant as "the dark knight" of the all-time bond series, although i wasn't very convinced he'd make it back in 2005. In 10 years we will see that Connery did launch 007 into the orbit, but it was Craig who got him closer to us, closer to reality we modern people live in or dream about. As skeptical as most of us are right now, out children will love this new Bond for another 40 years.
To producers: Next time go easy on the brain-scrambling action scenes, and the future belongs to you.
