The James Bond thread
Ahh, I've been expecting you!
The new James Bond film "Quantum of solace" has now arrived at cinemas in the UK. The 22nd film to be released by Albert R. Broccoli's EON Productions, and the 23rd overall if you count Kevin McClory's "Never say, never again" (counting 1967's swinging spoof "Casino Royale" or the 1954 TV adaptation of the same novel would be pushing it though, I think! )
Anyway, I have seen it and I'm due Lissa a review for The Vervoid site (along with belated reviews for "Die another day" and "Casino Royale"). Considering the other reviews are from 2003-04 it's time I pulled my finger out!
All I'll say for now is I was dissapointed with elements of QOS and that I feel slightly alienated by certain aspects of the 'new direction' the series is going in. I think Timothy Dalton was far more Fleming's literary James Bond than Daniel Craig is as well, regardless as to what seems to be fashionable to say at the moment. I also view Tim as the best screen Bond alongside Sean (for different reasons), Daniel is great, don't get me wrong, but I sometime sfelt liek he wasn't James Bond, even if this is the arc of his early career.
More from me soon then, but in the meantime have you seen it and what do you think?
