Quantum of Solace

Rating:  B

James Bond is out for revenge.  He wants to get the man responsible for girlfriend/traitor, Vesper’s, death.  He ends up in South America as a rogue spy and uncovers a plot to hoard water.

Huh?  

Well, overall I liked this film.  I have major bones to pick with whomever decided to do all kinds of quick cuts for the action scenes.  It would have been nice to have actually seen what I suppose to be cool action bits.   Also, the story was very hidden.  Who was he looking for?  How did this all fit together?  It was very loosey-goosey.   Major critics will have a field day with this one and I’m thinking that the second weekend drop will probably be at least 50 – 60%.

But, I can’t help it.  I enjoyed it.   Giancarlo Giannini could have used more screen time – he’s wonderful.

"Huh?" is RIGHT! Once I got past the hotness of Mr. Bond....and his perfectly formed butt, I couln't figure out what the heck this movie was all about! Of course, you HAVE to like it cause...well because it's James Bond. I just hope that the next movie has a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the viewer.
