What the heck is Quantom of Solace?


What i always love of the 007 franchise. That is a series that it doesn't have decade that made it popular , that have continue giving a new spin to the world of espionage. Also making the actor that play the dashing agent, a name to remembering(except for George Lazenby). the series have introduce us to the beuty of europe, the action, villains who want to rule world, and of course the ladykiller. that made the phrase"shaken not stir" a instant pop culture saying. Now the series have gone to a new direction that it haven't, a direct sequel. So is this one better than royale, let me answer you with this, rope fighting:
Taken place after Casino Royale Agent Bond is on the hunt for the organization that kill Vesper Lynd(Eva Green). That take him to meet Dominic Greene(Mathieu Amalric) a member of a Quantum organization dedicating funding on research for environmental sciences. Only this time the their charity work are heading to a Bolivian General, so he can overthrow the government, and be the next Hugo Chavez. All in exchange for a land that the American have interest for. But when James Kill one of he's own, MI6 want him either dead or alive. Taking him to Italy, Haiti, Bolivia. To unravel the true scheme of Dominic, while crossing path with Camille Montes(Olga kurylenko) a Russian agent with a personal vendetta against the general. wear your tux right, cause this time the Martini will be shaken.
Hand down, ever since the release of Casino Royale Greg daniel must be the baddest and grittier Bond of all time. This time is up the anti, with great performances, from the "i m not not going down without a fight" attitude to the quirky remark that all James are know for. And this time he have a villain that he fight,Almaric look is by far the most sinister that one can see, i mean seriously the man know how to swing a ax. Then let not forgot Olga, her action scene started with a damsel in distress act, but later is change into something sweet and poison like Drew Barrymore's Poison Ivy. And what can i say for Judy Dench, till the best M that one agent can take, and funny too.
The action sequences are by far better, longer, and good, that make the Bourne film out of comision. Right now i say this the fights are the best when it come to going brawl. Yeap no Kung fu, no books for a weapon just pure window crushing, and some old bloody fist. By far the Rope scene, that is something that not even the guys that did that wire work on the matrix could ever make it that great. Plus the climax scene are by far the best, literal similar to the Vienna house, but works, when you add the fire do it. The car chase weren't that good, but nice elaborated, when it come to the police car falling, same go to the boat ride.
Greg Daniel is define the Bond series, sure he make us look bad cause really we never gonna have that many foreign ladies in our bed. But he knows how to look bad into Good. This new chapter of the series, have prove that is not the tux that make ya, but on how many bad guys that you can shoot(counting killing your own)
Been a secret agent now have it mistake(Look on CIA handling the terrorist thing). But it have is advantages. with so much intrigue and suspense, is better to have friends from outside the country. Cause to make it you only need a motive to do it.
