Quantum of Solace review
Ξ March 19th, 2009 | → | ∇ Film |
My word. This had to be hands down the WORST James Bond movie I’ve ever seen. For one, this director, Marc Foster, must have thought we all have attention spans of 1.5 seconds. Have your stupid camera people keep their cameras still, Foster, you moron! Jesus, not everyone who watches this movie is a boy who just reached puberty who does nothing but drink Pepsi and watch video games.
Main Problem #2. You ever watch the old James Bond movies? Sean Connery and Roger Moore were suave. Daniel Craig is not. When Bond fucks the first girl, he says NOTHING. Yes, NOTHING. Afterwards, she gets killed and M gives him a guilt trip for fucking a chick and getting her killed. What the heck was that about?
Then with the main Bond girl, the character Olga Kurylenko plays, he once again says nothing. She simply says “get in.” That’s not sexy. In fact, the whole movie’s not sexy. Olga never smiles. Which is a shame, because she is an attractive woman. Just not in this movie. Apparently, Marc Foster doesn’t know what sexy is.
Main problem 3. Settings. James Bond is generally known for exotic, beautiful locales. Not this one. Instead, they pick the ugliest part of the Caribbean (Haiti, but not the cool parts) and the Bolivian desert to do most of the filming. When they do pick other parts of the world, they choose ugly interiors instead of something cool. Maybe beauty scares Marc Foster. Whatever the case, Quantum of Solace is an ugly movie.
I watched it with one other blogger and a few friends and none of us liked it. But then again, we’re not boys who barely reached puberty that do nothing but drink Pepsi and play video games. It’s a shame, because as you know, I’m a huge James Bond fan. Not this time around.
Marc Foster can’t do sexy. Therefore, he shouldn’t be anywhere near a James Bond movie. 2 dead zombies, for hands down the worst James Bond movie ever made.
