The other day (meaning like 5 weeks ago) I went and saw Quantum of Solace, the new Bond movie, with my roommates and Will. I was not a big fan of Casino Royale, so to be honest, I was not expecting much. However, I was delightfully surprised to find that it was actually quite entertaining.
It was entertaining probably most importantly because of the art direction. There was an incredible use of color, and combined with the editing, it made for a much more artsy Bond than I’m used to. Secondly, it had action. It wasn’t a ton of womanizing, as Bond movies often are, but it actually had some good, guy like action. In a movie, explosions are always cool. I also thought that the cinematography was well done. It was much more like the Bourne series — upclose and jerky — and like that.
A good movie watched with good friends = good time. I recommend this movie if you are looking for some classic entertainment with some additional artsy goodies.
