A Quantum of Solace
Posted on November 16, 2008 by Tobias in Personal
Tonight I finally got the chance to see the new Bond movie "A Quantum of Solace". So I paid 9 Euros to get to see a quality movie once in a while. Wait, quality movie? Yeah, I heard about all the critics concerning this movie, but I didn't believe them... until now.
So I went to the cinema, had to watch 30 minutes of crappy ads to finally get to see an even crappier movie. Here's why:
- Actual story? None. Throughout the movie, Bond travels from place to place, whereas the audience doesn't even know why. Only thing that happens at the very location: persons die.
- This movie is missing the quintessence of a Bond movie: No Q, no real Bond girl, no Bond car
- The theme song doesn't fit to the Bond scheme (what the hell guys?)
- Too much action (yes there really was too much)
- The ending of the movie isn't a real ending (you're like "what now?")
All in all I'd say it's a blockbuster movie and nothing more, nothing less. You'd watch it once and never again. I, for one, am not going to spend money on the Blu-ray Disk or the DVD. If you feel like watching it, you should definitely do so, but don't expect too much.
Just my 2 cents.
