What Was Wrong And Was Cool About it !

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2008)

Just came back from the cinema ,analyzing the movie in my head on the way back.. I Really Liked Casino Royale and I really really like Daniel Craig and i am certain that there will never ever be a better Bond Girl than Vesper(Eva Green).And as Casino royale was taken directly from a original Ian Fleming story I knew that following QOS will be more like the standard Bond Movies but with a darker tone.I was right(almost) - the action was more well planed that the plot,which was good ,but not better than CR. If your too lazy to read i'll give ya the short version Quantum of Solace was good but i expected more. Now the Long version : I really like the character development of Bond,who now is definitely a different agent - Cold Blooded,Ruthless and Unforgiving,and the cool thing is that he really changes trought the film and becomes a more thinking and balanced 00,who analyzes the situation before pulling the trigger.And Daniel Craig gave a perfect performance ,as always - the Best Bond I Have Ever Seen.I like the theme song it was very cool but i'm disappointed with the title sequence, I had saw this really stylish Coca Cola Zero Zero and i could see the movie starting this way ,but it had a rather boring and simple graphic imaging.And the soundtrack is quite disappointing for me..It's Not bad but it stays way too much of the bond theme song.The same was done with Casino Royale but the film's music really sounded like it has always been in Bond movies and had tracks for almost every character.QOS's soundtrack is nothing special and it really needs to use the bond theme as it sounds and makes a good action scene legendary.Now The Gun Barrel sequence was at the end which is OK ,but there is none at the beginning ,I rally tought there was going to be something like in CR where 007 turns and shoots the bad guy.From there on follows a Fast and pacey action movie which is very cool ,but that bond theme once again is what is the strawberry of the cake that was missing.And Why the hell they didn't play Another way to Die trought the movie it can fit a certain scenes.Now Some People think it's strange that the bond girl (who was very beautiful btw) didn't had sex whit him .But that is understandable as James has just lost the no doubt Love of his life .Now you Probably "what about Agent Fileds?" Well she was more like a one night thing and Bond did her just to get her of her back by seducing her.But he is definitely not ready to commit to a girl emotionally and physically and i don't think James Bond will ever be in love again or at least not so much.Vesper is really something special - smart,beautiful,serious,insecure,brave and with so many layers .Compare her for example to Christmas Jones,who is most certainly the worst bond chick,and you will get the idea.I don't complain too much with the missing gadgets - because some were getting to ridiculous or unrealistic,and some we have today - like the camera-phone and knifes in shoes.They really should put something of gadgets but ones who are realistic and yet high tech because the silencer for the gun doesn't really count as a cool gadget.Basically these were the small details that annoyed me in QOS so small but they can make such a big Difference.As i have learned before little pieces make the big picture BIG and make Bond a Bond,not the next action hero.I think the movies should be Viewed as one and that's a nice way to see them CR and QOS in one day and see the complete transformation of James Bond who now i Think is a real 00.And I hope they will make the next Bond 23 movie a really special flick whit a perfect balance between Plot and Action.
