"Quantum of Solace" movie review
Monday, 1. December 2008, 04:57:53
Last night (Saturday) I went to see the new James Bond adventure, Quantum of Solace at the movie theatre. You can see the trailer here.
The movie stars Daniel Craig as James Bond; Olga Kurylenko as Camille; Judi Dench as M; Mathieu Amalric as Dominic Greene; Giancarlo Giannini as Mathis; Gemma Arterton as Strawberry Fields; Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter; and Joaquín Cosio as General Medrano.
This movie starts a short time after the end of Casino Royale as Bond tries to find the people responsible for the death of Vesper, the woman he loved. Mr. Bond and M interrogate Mr. White who tells them that his organization (which MI6 has never heard of before) is more extensive than they know. He is lead to Dominic Greene, who is helping the exiled General Medrano retake control of Bolivia. This mission takes 007 all over ther world. Will he make this mission personal or will he keep it professional?
Quantum of Solace clocks in at 106 minutes, so it's a shorter film than Casino Royale. Daniel Craig and Judi Dench do very well in their respective roles. Russian born actress Olga Kurylenko is very good in her role as Camille. This was the first movie that I've seen her in and I was impressed with her performance. I'm sure she will have many more movie roles coming her way in the future. The action in this movie is quite intense in some scenes. The movie moves along at a good pace as Bond travels around the world on his mission. I had gotten used to seeing Q, with his many gadgets in the Bond films. It is taking some getting used to the changes that have been made since the producers decided the series needed a reboot. The series had gotten pretty forumulaic and these new movies are pretty refreshing to see. I did enjoy Quantum of Solace and recommend it to other Bond fans, or anybody who likes action movies in general. I think you will be happy that you went along for the ride with James Bond. Now, here are some clips from the movie:
