Quantum of Solace : Short Review.


To say the least what Casino Royale tried to do with the Bond franchise.. Quantum
of Solace, carried forth with aplomb. That is basically bond is now no more a
womanizer, with gadgets in every inner pocket.
Qantum of Solace, adds more action, fireworks, raw muscle and essential bond quick
wit to make one roller coaster ride. Daniel Craigs search for Vesper's(His Casino
Royale counterpart)killers, continues, as he single handedly uncovers plots covering nations.
The journey moves through some really exotic locales and high level action sequences. Bond seems to have exchanged his gizmos for whatever is available(aka Bourne style knife fights), the showpiece ladies with kick a** gals, and there’s a nice bit of parkour thrown in keeping with the last edition of free running.
Judie Dench as M, does her bit with class and seriousness, her talent though couldn’t fully be exploited given the limited scope of her character.
What you do get at the end of the movie is a lot of high octane action, a 1:45 hour almost, edge of the seat experience, and a lasting impression of Craigs, steel blue eyes. Definitely worth a watch.
