Quantum of Solace

Two weekends ago my friends and I went to go see the new bond movie at the AMC Southdale movie theater. Going into the movie I was super pumped and ready for a good action packed classic-bond type movie which included awesome gadgets, sweet killing manuvers, great action scenes and some smoking hot babes. The movie opened with an intense car chase scene involving Daniel Craig and the "villan/bad-guy" car chasing after him. The whole chase was filled with awesome manuvers, and high flying action but it was confusing which I didnt really like because I was not able to identify any of the villans. But at least one of the aspects had been filled; great action scene. Then the action shifted to Haiti where Bond was assigned to look for some man who may contain crucial evidence. This is where the smokin hot babes aspect comes into play. We are introduced to a new character named Camille who is played by Olga Kurylenko an absolutly stunning sight. Like Vesper in Casino Royale she to sort of plays both sides of the spectrum getting involved with both Dominic Green and James Bond. So theres the second aspect of my expectations filled but I am still kind of lost and am not liking how there is no plot devolopment yet. As I sat there in the movie theater I thought to myself wow James Bond has really just turned into a Jason Bourne film. Now dont get me wrong I LOVE Bourne films but the difference between Quantum of Solace and a Bourne film is that the Bourne films actually had some character and plot development where QOS was lacking that important aspect. When I left the theater that night I thought to myself wow I payed to go see a Bond movie but instead I ended up paying for a Bourne like movie. I am really dissatisfied with what Bond has come to, which is basically non-stop action, no plot development, and a lot of confusion. So whoever is producing these movies should start watching the classic bonds with Sean Connery and Roger Moore to really get a good view on who bond is really supposed to be.
