007: Quantum of Solace

First off I've got to say, this is the stupidest Bond title to date. And that saying a lot because there are a lot of bad titles. For example, "Thunderball", "You Only Live Twice", "The Living Daylights"? The first one sounds like a sci-fi sports flick and the other two sound like failed soap opera titles. The latest title sounds more like the title of a article in the Scientific Journal than a bond movie. *whew* Now that that's off my chest.

I was a big fan of the last Bond flick. I think Daniel Craig is the best Bond yet. But this movie just didn't do it for me like the last one did. It was still an excellent movie, just not a superb as its predecessor.

For example, this line from the movie was horribly cheesy and should have never been spoken: "I want to set you free, but your prison is in here" (as she point to his head). Along those same lines I have got to say that this is the worst Bond girl yet. Boring. Cast Milla Jovovich as the next Bond girl.

Another example, the villain was poorly cast. I mean really, Bond vs. the wealthy, meek, skinny environmentalist. Dr. No had metal hands. Le Chiffre wept blood. Francisco Scaramanga (the man with the golden gun) had a third nipple. All Dominic Greene had was a smirk. Hardly the type of villain we come to expect.

But with all that aside, the movie is still very good.

Rating: 7 out of 10.
