LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

casagrandicooper Firstly, opening sequence picking right from where Casino Royale ended. Incredible car chase. Stunningly filmed. Puts a massive smile on your face. And a set grimace on Bond's, which is carried through the movie. Put into perspective, Casino Royale started the franchise over. Fresh start with a fresh faced Bond, new to the 00 business. This one puts him right where he should be; rose coloured lenses smashed, and trying to sort his head out in this world of agents, double agents, being used, and using people. Takes a hard soul to survive, and Daniel Craig is excellent, taking us on a journey where we see Bond trying to get comfortable in his skin. If us as an audience are left uncomfortable, good. This is how we are supposed to feel, empathising with a character who inhabits a nightmarish world, but must come out as the hero. Which he does, closing the circle of guilt left through Vesper's death, and leaving the path clear for Skyfall. This movie is like Empire in Star Wars, a dark mid chapter which is needed in order to develop characters and lead to a resolution only to be delivered by the next movie. Seen on its own, it can feel out of place; but as part of the 007 cannon, a great foundation from which all further stories will grow and develop. Enjoy it.

KissEnglishPasto ...........................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA...and ORLANDO, FL (Read Summary FIRST!) Too much, apparently, methinks, for what ends up being a fair to middling action popcorn flick. Opening credits over and BAM!...Overblown car chase. At that moment we really don't know who is chasing Bond, or why, but then he's Bond…who cares, right?!? Well, I, for one, do and certainly I'm not alone.Soon after this opening car chase we discover that some hitherto unknown sinister organization which, despite being ubiquitous, has managed to stay under the radar and remain totally undetected, is posing the biggest current threat to world stability. Boy! We've never heard that one before, huh? Don't get me wrong. As I said here, at the beginning, "Solace" is, as action movies go, fairly entertaining. What I find just a bit sad is that the Bond franchise, despite this huge budget, can't come up with anything better. There were a few other things that bothered me, that perhaps would go unnoticed by most viewers. The characters were supposed to be speaking Spanish with a Bolivian accent. Well, instead there were Mexican, Iberian, Caribbean and eastern European accents. The taxi-driver, at least, did sound Bolivian.Both Daniel Craig and Olga Kurylenko tried their best within the constraints of an unmemorable script (Paul Haggis-screenplay Crash/Million Dollar Baby) and direction that seemed focused on getting as quickly as possible to the next action sequence (Mark Forster-Stranger than Fiction/ Monster's Ball). Still, for the hardcore action/Bond enthusiasts out there, you'll undoubtedly like it a lot more than I did.5.5* rounded up to 6 STARS*.....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA!

jameslinton-75252 I was warned that Quantum of Solace was one of the worst James Bond films, but I thought that I would give it a shot anyway. Oh how I regretted this decision.Quantum of Solace is just bad. Daniel Craig's James Bond is a clumsy fool, the film is bloated with explosions and action sequences and Dominic Greene was a crap villain. What got me was how SPOILERS Bond leaves him to his fate at the end of the film. What if Greene returned in the next film to wreak vengeance on Bond? (thankfully he doesn't') I bet bond would be feeling pretty stupid then.Read my full review here: http://goo.gl/leRsrk

unbrokenmetal James Bond (Daniel Craig) chases the CEO of a dubious company, Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) who talks a lot about ecology and gives to charity, but has all kinds of dirty business going on. In Bolivia, he supports a general to become president in exchange for control over the country's water supply. The same general killed the family of Camille (Olga Kurylenko) years ago, and when Bond teams up with Camille because there isn't anyone else – M and the British secret service stop their support, while the Americans even are on his enemy's side – his job becomes entwined with her personal revenge. Whether Bond is also motivated by personal motives, dating back to the predecessor 'Casino Royale', remains unclear, at least he denies it when M asks him.In my view, 'Quantum of Solace' is one of the poorest contributions to the series. The action of the movie is uninspired: a car chase, a boat chase, then a plane is shot down, and if you finally compare the boxy desert hotel to the amazing ice hotel in 'Die Another Day', you wonder where all the money went. The cast is not convincing, either: Mathieu Amalric is an easily forgettable villain, just a business guy in a white shirt, while Ukrainian Olga Kurylenko plays the Bolivian girl as if she was preparing for the role by staying a week on the sun bed and then put a silly wig on. It remains a mystery why the casting director didn't attempt to find a talented Latin American actress for the part? To add insult to injury, we get Beam, a CIA agent with a fake mustache who looks like a cartoon character (but is intended to be dead serious). Every scene he is in made me cringe in my seat. The title song is one of the rare cases that a Bond main theme is not memorable. Despite this long list of disappointments, the movie isn't entirely bad. 'Quantum of Solace' is well edited and photographed, deliberately less glossy than others of the series. The grainy look fits the desert location, for example. And Craig plays a good Bond, silent, tough and mean, with less lines than ever before which is an advantage.
