Quantum of Solace..Not Your Average Bond Film, But Still An Excellent Movie.

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2008)

Okay, okay! I've been web-hopping, looking for the reaction about the latest Bond offering. To tell you the truth, I'm really surprised. I'm a HUGE Bond fan like my father and his father before him and I saw "Quantum of Solace" last night. I really enjoyed it!! I believe it was a good way to close out the story left over from "Casino Royale" and a nice way to set future Bond flicks. People, sometimes you got to think out of the box. So what he doesn't say "Bond, James Bond." at all in this movie. So what the gadgets are limited. The truth is, Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery and does a hell of a job playing in the role. I like his rogue attitude. To me the previous Bond films prior to "Die Another Day" was going down the same road the "Batman" sequels went before the extreme makeover. It was turning more into a comic book character that a secret agent. Craig is intense and very believable and pulls it off with what looks like little effort. Judging from the end of the movie, the next Bond movie will be more Bond like, but I did like the detour away from the norm.
