I went to the new James Bond film yesterday. I read two reviews before I went, one from the Washington Post and the other from MSN.com. Both were fairly negative reviews calling out the quick pace and thin plot. While I agree that the film had some faults, I still found it to be interesting. While Casino Royale was one of the best Bond films ever, Quantum comes up rather short for those of looking for homerun. The smart wit and wonderful pace are gone in this action packed dash to the end. The film jumps from one action scene to another that all remind you of the Bourne films. I enjoyed the Bourne series; however, Bond is not Bourne something to remember for the next director. The Quantum Bond is edgy and gritty nothing like the suave debonair Bond of past features. He is out for vengeance and will apparently stop at nothing to get it. While I think Craig Daniel is this best Bond since Connery, this film is lacking the substance that makes a film a Bond film. The creators and writers need to remember what made Casino Royale one of the best Bond films and work hard for the next one. Three out of five stars.
On another note I think Craig Daniel is the best dressed man on earth. I wish I could afford to dress that stylish. Unfortunately I can’t afford 5,000 suits.
