Quantum of Solace (2008)

I just finished watching Casino Royale yesterday, the latest Bond film with new 007 actor, Daniel Craig. It reminded me why, when I originally saw it, I thought it was the best Bond movie yet and watching it recently also got me thinking again about the next one set to release later this year, Quantum of Solace.

2 Reasons Why I’m Looking Forward To This Bond Film:

Daniel Craig is back. The crazy brit who resurrected the original bond persona and went a step further to perfect it even more in a modern view. Pierce Brosnin, by the time he made his last Bond film, had slughtered the authenticity of the 007 persona and, with the help of horrible writing feeding him some of the worst lines in film history, drove the quality of the film series into the ground. Even my inner Fanboy didn’t give a rats ass about seeing another one with him in it. Daniel Craig however gave James a makeover and relaunched the character back into action with more style and class than you could fit into a dry martini (shaken, not stirred).

Also, Marc Forster, the man with the plan who brought us movies like Finding Neverland, Stay & Stranger Than Fiction, is directing the 22nd Bond film. After naming off those films in his repertoire need I say more? The dude will always blow your mind while at the same time making you fall in love with his characters and he never shies away from rule number one in film, content is king. Action films like the Bond series often forget that and I am very curious to see what he will bring to the series with his directing styles.
