Quantum Of Solace

If you want to see a non-fun James Bond movie, this is it. Look like the whole production, director and Mr. Craig are all allergic to fun. The whole movie is way too serious and totally devoid of any fun factor for its own good. Everyone looks like his father just died. The whole movie collapses under its own self importance.

In recent years, there is this trend of rendering any action scenes in rapid cutting sequences and in close proximity of the actions a la Bourne, Jason Bourne movies; presumably letting audience into the actions, an immersive and engrossing experience if you will. I say that's just way overused and a bit of a horseshit. I say let's just watch Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, the courtyard fight scene between the two female leads, see how the fight scenes are photographed, just the cinematography, not the wire-fu. Audience generally appreciates what is happening on screen. As of late, all the actions are just a blur and then somebody drops dead and nobody knows when and how exactly.

Of the Tom Ford wardrobe that drapes 007, the nipped waist is just too much, the fine tailoring is just too much. It looks so anal that you wonder how can he even move let alone going mano-a-mano with all the badies. You see Mr. Craig on screen and you can't help but think of Mr. Tom Ford and his ever perpetually sun tanned open chest look.

There you have it, my mini review.

Hell yes this is a movie review.
