Quantum of Solace

So I saw the new Bond movie (Quantum of Solace, for those of you who live under rocks) and I really liked it. It isn't as good as Casino Royale was, but its still very entertaining. The new Bond girl is incredibly good looking, the entire movie is fast and lots of fun.

I did have a couple issues with it. First, it needed an extra 10-15 minutes, sometimes it was too fast, and Dominic Greene is never really developed to the same level as other Bond villains were. Second, sometimes it needed to slow itself down. The opening scene was very good, but if it had been a little slower and easier to follow, it would have been incredible. But probably my 2 biggest problems with the movie was that the theme song and its animation were kind of lame, they dragged and sapped the energy that came out of the opening chase. Also there was a rediculous scene involving planes, i'll leave it at that.

My favourite part (besides Olga Kurylenko as Camille) has to be the opera scene, I'll try not to ruin it, but it is incredible cinematography. (Fun fact, apparently the opera playing in the scene is about a woman who betrays her lover. Vesper anyone?).

Daniel Craig has another excellent performance as Bond.

Overall, it's a worthy movie, and an excellent way to spend 105 minutes. It's fun, but it is no Casino Royale. See it.
