Was really looking forward to the new James Bond flick - Quantum of Solace. I can proudly say that I am a die hard James Bond fan and have never missed any of its releases since my school days...
The reason for my all out liking for the guy with a licence to kill has been many fold- the suave look, the way he has with his enemy and his witting way... the main reason which will stand forth is the fast racy plot which has been a hallmark of all James Bond movies...
with Casino Royale we saw Daniel Craig donning the Mantle of Bond and did a commendable job....but somewhere one missed Sean Connery and the smooth silky touch of pierce Brosnan to the entire plot.....
but quantum of solace was in a different league altogether....in which our heart did not race when it came to Bond handling his enemy... in which there are infact moments of lull where you wondered if it was a bond movie you were seeing... I in fact dozed off for quite some time in between...
I really do nt know... is it the coming of age of the British secret service agent post cold war or is it a serious attempt to put it in the genre of 'Bourne' movies... whatever it is, somewhere I missed the Bond i knew since childhood.... is it time to move on.. well i do nt know... may be i will continue holding on to the loyalty card with me for some more time...
till then lets enjoy the 'solace' of the latest flick.....
