Quantum of Solace

[fauxfiala]

It's a bit late, I know but I couldn't be arsed paying to watch it at the cinema when I could just wait and watch it on Sky that i'm already paying for (aye, i'm a cheapskate)


I didn't mind the film as a modern action packed movie and it's following on of a darker type of movie but why did they think that having a comic relief cameo from Gemma Arterton would fit in at all? She should stick to shite like St. Trinians!


At least Olga Kurylenko has found her niche. Hitman, Max Payne, Bond - Is there a next Bourne film for her?

I thought Quantum of solace had much of that. The car chase for one was a staple part of "old" Bond albeit updated for the late 2000's, the boat chase reminded me of FRWL, the plane sequence from the Moore and Brosnan days, and even had a Bond girl covered head to foot in oil, which if you squint, looked a lot like gold paint. We even had a baddies lair which was some bizarre hotel in the middle of the desert. The "tough" Bond girl, as opposed to the romantic interest was also a spy, pretty much like XXX from TSWLM. What we didn't have of Bond of old was Moneypenny and Q which in my mind is no bad thing lest we start down the road of Moore like Bond films again arrggh
