Movie Review - Quantum of Solace - JAAM !!!

Rating : 5.5 / 10

My Say - Its JAAM - Just Another Action Movie !

The much anticipated bond movie, with a smashing box office start in UK, is sadly - Just another action movie. Though there is no denying that the action is Fantastic, it falls short on the sophistication and style urf Bond quotient.

In the second installment, Daniel Craig is plain ruthless. He is more an assasin ( flaunting his License to Kill) than a secret agent. He is in pursuit of the villian who had left him bereft of the only true love of his life. And in this pursuit, he is blinded. His only aim - revenge. So throughout the movie he is casually moving from one country to another, just to kill. The ease with which he crosses borders even without money or passport is remarkable ( anyways, thats what he is trained to do !!) The plot is rather confusing and through most of the movie, you do not understand whats going on, and frankly, why?  Its like the plot is just a vehicle for delivering one action sequence after another.  You also wonder what these guys have in place of bones - titanium rods??? Unbreakable.

The only Quantum of Solace is that with this movie, the revenge of Bond is complete and now he will get back to his Stylish, Casanova ways in the next movie. Lets wait and watch, because this was frankly - JAAM.....

Casino royale... Back to the Basics...

Rating : 6 / 10
In Brief:
Actions good, when there is action that is!!! the first chase scene is simply out of this world.. great work!
Bonds good, daniel craig looks good at times and ugly at others.. but is the most macho bond yet... good acting.. thumbs up.. he fits perfectly and is at ease...
bond girls.. first one mind blowing and short lived, the other one(eva green) great looking and a good match for mr.bond...
The plot is confusing and the movie is long..
sometimes it picks up pace, but most of the times just saunters away...
gadjets are minimal...
the vilians are good, n mean and are out to terrorize the world..
Bond is vulnerable and fights with his fists...
overall.. its a good film about 5 and half stars and half extra for daniel craig, who fits the bill...
but i still am not sure he is as good as pierce brosnan, who bought suave and sophistication to the character..
maybe craig is more the realistic, macho and vulnerable bond.. but bond is supposed to be superhuman n shud do unimaginable stunts, with loads of gadgets... Maybe they wanted to reinvent Bond and go back to the basics, but they shudnt tinker too much with his persona.. hope he comes back next time..

well, i suggest u watch this one.. bcos after all bond is bond.. and this movie did rock the box office.

final verdict... like the martini bond orders...this bond film is on the rocks.. it leaves u shaken but not stirred..
that bitter taste remains... eagerly awaiting the next film...
