Quantum of Solace

Bond now is seeking revenge for the loss of Vespa, M warned him don't do revenge, but Bond didn't listen and is out on a personal mission to take down the people that killed her. MI6 captured Mr. White and tried asking questions, only to find out that he's part of a unknown group. Mr. White escapes and Bond is forced to chase him. After things get to personal for Bond, M calls in to cancel Bonds credit cards and trace him. Bond meets up with a girl, Camille Montes who Bond learned was being chased by someone wanting to kill her, the two become friends and Bond learns of his new target, Dominic Greene who ordered her to be killed but failed when Bond intersected. Bond figures out his cards don't work and seeks out help from,  RenĂ© Mathis who helps Bond get to Bolivia to get on a plane. Bonds learns that Camille is also seeking revenge from General Medrano who killed her family in a fire when she was a little girl. Bond and Camille both go to the desert to seek out and kill Rene and Medrano. Earlier Bond learns that Rene is not making a drill site to dig or oil, but to take the water from the area and try to sell it. After Bond and Rene have a pretty epic fight, Bond does take to his word, and lets Rene live, leaving him in the desert with just a can of oil.




Another awesome Bond film in the series. Although I was kind of on the fence with this one.


The story is great and the acting is good, was just as good as the previous one, but, something about this film just (to me) felt a little short, don't know if it was the story or acting or what, but just felt out of place. After watching both films back to back, this film would of almost been better as like Casino Royale 1.5. This film was an hour shorter than before and felt like this should of been apart of Casino Royale rather than it's own film. This film does take place an hour or two after the events of Casino Royale which is good, but I think it could of been longer, only a run time of 1hr and 45mins. They should of have another 30 minutes or more to include more story. 


Action in the film went even above and beyond than before! The film opens in an epic car chase, followed by a foot chase, which leads into a boat chase then a plane chase dog fight. Land,sea and Air, this film chases it all. This film did feel as if it had as much action as before, just not as much story, the action out weighed the story. 


Music was just as good as before, same kind of music played throughout the film, the intro song was good, but felt a little week and not so, Bond like. But music was good. 


I give, Quantum of Solace. _7/10_

Casino Royale

Right before he became a 00 he killed a MI6 traitor, after which he's giving his 007 status. When Bond goes to Madagascar to hunt for a international bomb maker, things get out of control and Bond is chasing down the bomb maker ultimately causing a large trail of destruction behind him. Bond was givin a warning to not kill the next one. Bond finds the phone with a text connected to Le Chiffre. Bond travels to the Bahamas to find Dimitrios to find answers only to discover that on his wild goose chase, someone was planning on blowing up the unveiling of a new plane. Bond luckily stops the bomb before anyone was killed. Bond finds that all this is connected to Le Chiffre and must find him. When Bond is on the train he meets up with his contact, Vesper who is posing as Bonds wife, and is going to help Bond take down Le Chiffre.They find that Le Chiffre has entered in a very high stakes poker game worth millions. MI6 found that Le Chiffre borrowed millions in the promise of what ever, and he failed to pay it back, he must now win the poker game to pay back the people, Bond is at the poker game to make sure he doesn't win. After the poker match Bond questions if Vesper is good or a double agent. Bond and Vesper start to fall for one another when Le Chiffre captures Bond and tortures both Bond and Vesper. 




This would have to be the best Bond film I've seen...ever!! Acting was just amazing, soundtrack was awesome and the story was a masterpiece. 


This is a reboot of the franchise, and it was well worth it. After Pierce Brosnan's Bond I was kind of hoping for a much better Bond film, Pierce's were fine, but never was, wow, like the ones before him. I haven't seen all the Bond films, but a good chunk of them, and this is by far my favorite Bond to date.

Acting was very much amazing. So many good actors playing the part near perfect. I am really happy they chose Daniel Craig to play bond as I think he's the best one, other's will say otherwise. Was also nice seeing Judi Dench come back as "M" as she was in the previous ones in the 90's.

The story was just an epic story. So many twists and turns, so many moments where it draws you in and really getting glued to the film. I really don't think this story could of been any better, was already a run-time at 2hrs 30 minutes so they included a lot of story yet also filled with a ton of action scenes to keep you hooked.

Soundtrack was also amazing to listen to throughout the film. Rather than having a renewed intro song, they had a whole new song entirely, which fit a little better. They did keep the classic sounding Bond music in and out of the film. But, at the end they had the classic scene where Bond shoots the screen then fills with blood then the classic Bond song.

I give, Casino Royale. _9/10_
