Review by Sean Knott:
November 19th, 2008Daniel Craig was quoted as saying “the biggest (insult) done to the Bond Series was Austin Powers” and so we see a return to some of the old Broccoli charm and violence for the sake of violence that could have been present in the Bonds of the 70′s and 80′s if those generations were as liberal. There is a lack of “classic” bond elements, Q branch is gone, the only gadgets we see are at MI-6 outside of a truly multi-function cell phone in bonds hands. The Aston Martin drives on rails, and we get to see more of the “skill set” side of James Bond, we get James the Lover, the classic charm that makes woman want him and guys want to be him! I caught a few references to older films but without spoiling plot, just do what I did and pull out every “EON” Broccoli film in the series and catch the nods to Goldfinger, The Man with the Golden Gun, From Russia with Love and Dr. No…thanks in part to co-producer Barbara Broccoli no doubt. Forget waiting to see this on video, thers is at times too much action to be contained on the big screen, and even a 60″ plasma won’t do this film justice! I liked Quantum of Solace and caught the midnight showing on Thursday as not to miss being one of the first people in my circle to see it and give it a good bond bravado, before any of the less faithful could nay say it!
