The Eyes Of A Spectator

Well, I don't know what a solace is either.

Well Quantum, is apparently an amount of something, that could be anything. A Solace is just comfort, pleasure and alleviation of something. I don't know why they would choose that title, and you'll soon find out why I think that way. Spoiler's ahead. Here's my review, of the god-awful newly released 007 movie.

Review of "Quantum Of Solace."

Plot Summary.
Hmm. Well...Uhh...Alright let's see. There's this guy who did something bad I guess? And Bond is after him, we don't exactly know why. He's apparently buying some land in Africa and we have no idea why, nor are we ever told. The word Quantum is used only once in the whole movie, so you're pretty much left out. The other sub-plot is that there's some organization that noone knows about. But that part of the story only lasts for like 10 minutes during the entire movie maybe. There's a lot of action scenes, and very little scenes describing why the hell all of this is going on. I think I got it covered, I'm not so sure. The movie was so poorly directed I couldn't understand the whole plot really. Do some research yourself, I might be off.

The Good.
Hmm. I guess the action scenes were okay...but I'm not so sure. I could also put this on the bad side, and I'll explain that later. Besides the action scenes, the technology in the actual movie were pretty mind blowing, but then again, it's a 007 movie, so that's almost sure to be there. That's honestly about all I can find.

The Bad.
Alright, here we go. The action scenes were pretty much like "What the hell is going on!?." The director must have been on something, or experimenting with a technique or something, cause it was really bad. If you watch the scenes you'll understand why. Everything is happening so ridiculously fast and the individual scenes in the actual scene [if you know what I'm talking about], last for like maybe 1-2 seconds. On top of that, the most ridiculous situations happen, that would never happen. I'd explain more, but I don't want to. Also, there was only one bond girl in this movie, and she wasn't that beautiful or impressive, as the others have been anyway. One of the biggest bads in this movie, is the plot. You know absolutely NOTHING about the plot. It's really really bad. There's no clear indication of what anyone is really after, everything just kind of happens.

My Overall Thoughts.
When I first heard about it, of course I was thrilled, all of my friends were. When I went to the movie theaters, we were all so excited. Towards the end one of my friends started sleeping because he couldn't stand it. Another one of my friends stopped talking during the movie, and he always talks during movies, so then you KNOW it's bad. I really wanted my 10 dollars back, because it was not worth it at all. It wasn't Daniel Craig who was bad, it was just the whole script itself. ALSO, I'd like to ask, why the hell it got decent reviews by everyone, I just don't understand it. I went on many review sites, and the reviews are actually towards the mediocre/good side. It really pisses me off. Everyone I ask who saw it, said it was a horrible movie, and me and my friends can't even stand looking at another Quantum Of Solace poster because we want to burn it down, it was so bad. Go see this movie if you want to be disappointed.

My Rating.
I rate this tormenting movie a horrible 4 out of 10. Yes it was really that bad, and I hated it that much. The only thing keeping this movie on it's legs are the somewhat decent action scenes, and witty movements by bond himself.
