Quantum of Solace Fails Horribly


[WARNING:SPOILER ALERT]
Walked by the Piccadilly Arcarde movie theatre and the only movie on that tickled my curiousity spot was the latest James Bond movie that had most 007 fans quivering in anticipation - Quantum of Solace. To be really honest, the latest James Bond actor - Daniel Craig - looks like a pug. Literally. A freaking goddamn whiny pug. I don't care how some magazines rated him as "One of the most beautiful people in the world". They can suck my fictional man-balls for all I care. Friends of mine have all agreed that he is the ugliest Bond. What happened to classy men like Pierce Brosnan? Or the all time fav Sean Connery? There's no sex appeal in this one that's for sure.

Moving on to the film's plot. Yes, yes. There's always some action in the Bond movies, if not I doubt anyone would be interested in watching it. Not to mention sleek, sexy cars that get smashed (What a waste for a movie of this standard). When one hears the name "Quantum of Solace", I would like to think that there are some scenes that involves a big scientific machine built by secret organizations to take over the world, or something involved with Science. Noo... it ended up being a film about how an organization (in this case Quantum) is trying to control the world's water supply by helping a General to perform a coup d'etat in exchange for a barren desert and Bond ends up saving the day by accidently falling into a sinkhole and discovering Quantum's plans. I noticed that Paul Haggis did the screenplay and I expected something as good as Crash. It was just horrible. Wasted my $12AUD!!!
