Review: Quantum of Solace

I heart Daniel Craig.

In his latest 007 movie, he was at his action best again, as in. From beginning to end, the movie was action-packed.

My Love Nald and I grew up watching 007 movies through the influence of our parents. And we thank them for it, because our appreciation for James Bond films or any movie for that matter is more than skin-deep.

Anyway, My Love Nald likes Roger Moore, I on the other hand, love Sean Connery as THE James Bond. However, we see eye-to-eye and both agree that Daniel Craig is the most believable and REAL James Bonds ever.

You know what I mean when I say "real". Previous James Bonds always looked pristine, slick,and clean, even during the most action of actions in their films. But not Daniel Craig as James Bond. His hair gets messy when he fights, he gets bruised, and most of all he gets emotional. It is also perhaps of the people behind the film thinking that it would be crappy to follow suit of previous James Bond movies where he is invincible, untouchable, almost un-real.

Nevertheless, Quantum of Solace is still very much like any other James Bond movie -- there are rich ugly villains; sexy and intriguing ladies; lavish parties; air, water, and land action scenes. The film revolved around Bond's mission to infiltrate and unearth underground activities of the story's villains in places in South America. Timely global issues such as water scarcity, graft, political manipulation, environment abuse were very abundant in Quantum of Solace's plot.

To add some human touch in the story, James Bond's emotions were played upon, which was actually used to further fuel the action and complicate the simplistic plot! Add to this, a beautiful lady named Olga Kurylenko who's sexy piercing eyes and stunts both matched those of Daniel's. They were quiet a pair, indeed!

Well, in general, Quantum of Solace deserves one's full attention, a MUST-SEE film, and My Love Nald and I are definitely looking forward to the next Craig Bond, ooops James Bond movie.
