My Review :

This got to be a very unique and exceptional movie in Bond Franchise
coming from Director Marc Forster - > this subject completely different league, from is previous venture" The Kite Runner" he did a good job

Bond after winning the high stakes poker tournament Casino Royale in Montenegro and loosing his friend (or the only Bond girl he feel in love with). And we all remember he standing at Mr.White's house with gun.

The opening scene of Quantum of Solace was heart breaking scene for me to see the same Austin Martin.. which I really loved.. got smashed and doors rip opened in the opening car chase.. which was stunning But not as gripping as Casino Royale's opening chasing on construction site.Then he drags out Mr.White from his car and we get to see M and her colleagues waiting for bond in Italy.. Thatz the first frame where you get to see the bond or I should say a Blue eyed Killing machine..with heart filled with vengeance. for a minute I couldn't believe my own eyes that 00-Mi6 top agent who has license to kill was killing out of emotions not with a purpose. That was an interesting angle. But that very same view kind of let's down whole "Importance of BOND" the secret agent.

This leads to, Mi6 trying to put a stop on bonds movement and he turns Mathis who he thought was a double agent. Mathis agrees to help. Movie moves to Italy,Bolivia,and other European destination. And finally ends in Russia Where he meets Vesper Lynd boyfriend who would have set her up to get the winning to the organisation (and thatz the last point of Bond's revenge)

Main Plot : - Villan trying to negotiate between developed countries and developing countries leaders to take control of last biggest oil reserve in the world in Bolivia (or perhaps the only water source of Boliva).
Ford has displayed all its small cars and land rover !! No Bond Girl, No Car for Bond. Dainel craig was more of an angry lover and less of Bond.

He even forget this signature cocktail .. mix - in a scene he will ask bartender to explain that to Mathis..

Let me remind him , Mr. Bond -

it is "A dry martini,One. In a deep champagne goblet." Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.

For me This Movie is a big let down as a sequel for Casino Royale. !

Hope Bond comes back with next assignment which needs him as a secret agent And not as anything else. !

I don't want to claim that I am an expert in Bond history.. There was a reason why they didn't make this movie as sequel to original Casino royale. When they had 3 stories to pick from ! Even Ian himself agreed to this ..!

For this Action Flick - > We can push it to.. ***1/2 (Good)

**Raikkonen** · 13th January 2010, 10:14 AM

bond movies always sucked when they try to copy other movies..

like the "anakin moonraker"

**groucho070** · 13th January 2010, 12:00 PM

And rumours that Sam Mendes' going to direct it. We already had enough emo crap the last two films. Not I am against it, but not the kalej gael level psychology that they were attempting, especially the last one. Plus, he is either emoting or behaving like T-800. Craig is a fine actor, they should let him handle more humour and not do that Bourne-esque stunt scenes.

Moonraker, now that you mentioned it, Raiks, is also full of quotable lines, it look stupid on paper (or on screen), but Sir Rog really made it funny:

Holly: Hang on!
Bond: The thought had occurred to me.

The bad guy, Drax, gets couple of gem:
Drax: Look after Mr. Bond. See that some harm comes to him.

and

Drax: James Bond. You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.
and

Drax: At least I shall have the pleasure of putting you out of my misery

Of course, old Q gets his share too:
Minister: My God, what's Bond doing?
Q: I think he's attempting re-entry, sir.

Triple Meaning

Dr.Goodhead

Dolly and Jaws

It's a great entertainer.. Star Wars spoof in the end was funny too.

Yeah, Dr. Goodhead, yabba...how they got away with it those days.

Also, note that this film contain one scene that shows how good an actor Sir Rog can be - the centrifuge scene. Pretty scary thing, and when he walks out, you expect him to quip something, but instead he brushes the gal away, looking really distressed and you know the bad guy's gonna get it.

Too bad, he was against violence, so you don't really get to see his darker side.

grouch..

Raaja (Moore) was the victim of the 70's-80's gimmick. All play no work type.

TSWLM is still my fav. It had the best bond girl, best car, best theme, best sidekick villain (jaws).
