Just a Quantum of My Memory
So, I’ll give some free Whose Line points to the first person that can name the thing I forgot to include in my post yesterday. What’s that? Correct!! For those of you who didn’t hear the invisible person that gave the correct answer, it’s my Quantum of Solace movie review. My only explanation for why I forgot would have to be just because it just wasn’t as good as I was hoping.
I had heard some people complaining about the new movie, but I just figured that they were the people who have to complain about every movie. That might still be the case, but I just might have to add myself to the group of people not entirely satisfied. There were definitely Bond elements present all throughout the movie, but it never “felt” like it was supposed to be a Bond movie. Starting off with the almost not present “firing the gun at the screen” sequence and going to the completely not present “The name’s Bond, James Bond” line, it felt like it would be a decent spy/action movie, but the Bond switch just never got flipped for me. So really, it just comes across as a decent Bond, probably ranked 5th of 6 on my personal rating list (starting with Goldeneye). My score: 8/10.
