There seem to be more stuff of 'Strawberry Fields n Bond' in bed... Final cut maybe was gone. In Msian theatres i dun thnk they even cut coz almost non-existent...
As for me, QoS is exactly what I expected. It is the 'contunation' of Casino Royale... and what a contunation of the story.
Quantum of Solace is still one of the finest Bond films ever made. If Casino Royale is lets say No.1, then this would undoubtedly be No.2.
Bond flicks : 1. Cars 2. Woman 3. Fights 4. Explosives 5. Lil' bit of romantico 6. A sleek ending
In QoS, all of the above occured, albeit in a way that has not been done before, keeping in line with how Casino Royale changed the Bond normality.
Cars - well, just seconds into the movie and we have a stunning car chase and crash.
Woman - Strawberry Fields clearly was the eye-candy, but Camille Montes was the 'out of norm' Bond girl that fights really really hard for her own reasons.
Fights - QoS has some of the most brutal and hard hitting raw fights ever in a Bond flick. Passes with flying colours.
Explosives - yes, and it is awesome. Especially the part when the building comes down. That's intense.
Romantico - QoS literally almost took this out. Since QoS is an all-out revenge-driven Bond, its understandable why this was almost completely omitted.
A sleek ending - another area of QoS that did make many question it. The ending may not has been the cool "Bond, James Bond" ending of Casino Royale, but slightly shocking - Bond, who was so revengeful, was able to forgive Vesper, he drops the necklace and that was it... again QoS redefined an area of Bond normality...
In the opening car chase, Bond's Aston Martin switches from silver to black.
LOL !
In the scene where Bond is in the old airplane, it cuts to a scene behind Bond, and in the middle of the screen you can see the camera used to film him in another scene.
Wow... WTH ? Are they blind to shoot that scene when there is a camera that they used before ? I mean, its no reflection... its the actual camera !
Did not the mistake. But it yap great, for all say this is f* ed Bond, I have no idea what is a good movie for you. And the story has much of dark knight darkness. 4 out of 5. The poster of Bond with Bond girl may make her "less" than Vesper. But this bond girl is good to watch.
Most critics praise the film for its breathless pace but are bewildered at the 'new' furious Bond and panned the plot.
Right now, all I can say, is that, it is almost a universal claim that Casino Royale is better than Quantum of Solace, but both are comparably great Bond films.
