Movie Review : 007 Quantum of Solace
Salam and hello all. Here it comes, a short review by me about my recently watched movie, 007 Quantum of Solace. Have you watched it? Anyway, I had chance to watch it on it first showing day, 6 November 2008 and I know some of Nuffnangers got special screening the night before the showing day, so they might wrote their own review already. Anyway, here is my short review about this movie. As anyone knows, since this is one of the popular Bond’s movies you might expecting something wow from this movie. Anyhow, is it this new Bond’s movie, 007 Quantum of Solace really brings a wow after watch it? If you want to know, continue your reading. 
Let’s have some briefly introduction about the movie.
Starring: Daniel Craig, Dame Judi Dench, Jesper Christensen, Mathieu Amalric, Olga Kurylenko, Jeffrey Wright, Gemma Arterton, Giancarlo Giannini.
Director: Marc Forster
Genre: Action
And this is the official trailer for this movie, enjoy it. 
Ok, and this is the synopsis; I warned you, this might contains spoilers.
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world’s most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organisation.

Ok, here is the short review about this new 007 movie. First of all, I want to state that, I’m not a Bond’s fan. My first Bond’s movie that I watched is 007 Casino Royale and all other Bond’s movies before that; didn’t attract me to watch it. But since I watched the Casino Royale before this, I have some big expectation from this new Bond’s movie. Since the Casino Royale really impressed me a lot.
First thing, this movie duration really short, about 1 hour 30 minutes and the movie started 30 minutes after the showing time. I watched the movie at Sunway Pyramid and my ticket was at 9.30pm and the movie started at 10.00pm and ended at 11.30pm. See? What I’m watching now? A Malay movie or what? And amazingly this 1 hour 30 minutes movie hit the box office. Impressive, huh?
Next is about the storyline. I can say its impressed me a bit at the beginning of the movie where Bond’s has been chased by a group of people and how that the gorgeous Aston Martin being damaged. Hohoho. But the overall storyline for me quite linear and boring but fortunately all that has been back up by some terrific actions which somehow looks ridiculous. Bond looks like an indestructible machine and always wins in any fights. Another personal point of view of me about this movie is, this new Bond is the craziest Bond ever. Why I said that? If you watch the movie, you can see how crazy and desperate Bond to catch and kill his target till causes major damages to the surrounding. Heck, you only want to catch this one person, but cause so many people; lost their life. I think this not show that Bond is really a good agent.
Last as the conclusion, I would rate this movie 3 out of 5. Its because the storyline itself is not so interesting and boring but the actions inside the movie help a bit to give some satisfaction to the audiences. So, is it worth or not to pay RM11 for a ticket for this movie? I can say, if you really a big fan of Bond’s movie, I recommend you to watch but if you just like another movie geek who interested to watch any new movie, I would advised you to consider other movies first before come to this movie. So, how about you? Have some words to say about the movie? Drop your comment below.
