Starting a film with a car chase or sleek action sequences is becoming a fashionable style these days... and Quantum of Solace ( QoS )is no exception to it and the shot is so swift/disordered that if you blink your eyes for a second, you are lost as to what goes where and who is who.
Never Have I watched a Mid Night show in theatres, QoS is the first movie, the show started at around 12 30 Am in the morning and whats more exciting was the trailer of Angels & Demons. But then again the movie Da Vinci Code stood a long way from its book version. Hope Angels & Demons is better than its previous version.
QoS starts from where Casion Royale was left...and the action doesnt stop till the end. 1 hour and 45 minutes of action packed chases in land, water, air... Critical Reviews in the net say Casino Royale was better than it's sequel,somehow I ended up liking both. Of course there is the question of Bond Stuffs missing in the movie,personally this was more of a Bond movie the way it used to be in the book version long back. Without gadgets and a vulnerable bond,well they say there is the bourne series and others for these types of films. However the film does stands good when compared with them, the question of whether it has a bong tag, who cares, I asked for action and it gave me plenty of them that wasn't tiresome unlike Eagle Eye/Wanted in the recent past where the action sequences kind of get you bored after some point in the movie.
The movie Casino Royale ends with Bond shooting Mr.White in his leg and introducing himself as 'Bond, James Bond, I thought even QoS is gonna end like the because that notable dialogue didn't come throughout the movie and in the end it was a disappointment. Not sure whether they deliberately wanted to do that.Also the stylish James Bond theme also doesn't appear once during the movie, only during the end credits the theme is played in the background and also Bond does woo the Bond Girl but not unlike what it is in the other Bond Movies ( Simpleaa sollanuma matter scene ellam ethuvum ella ) and Yeah no big gadgets stuff as well.
Number of reviews says QoS is bad and doesn't live up to expectations, I don't go along with it. I liked the movie and enjoyed it thoroughly. May be its not like a Pierce Brosnan's Bond Movie, but its definitely a Daniel Craig's Bond Movie. The movie is definitely not a waste of time.
