The latest Bond film, a Quantum of Solace, has breached the defenses. While I am away from the keyboard, I'd like to hear what any of you had to say. I'll fill in a bit more later.
My main quibble with QoS is that they borrowed too much from the Bourne style. The last scene looks stolen from the beginning of the second or third Bourne movie. I'd swear they used the same set.
I think Daniel Craig is a good Bond, but the writing forces him to be about 1/3 more dour and taciturn than the role Connery created would recognize. Dench as M is growing on me, I admit, though there is still a bit too much drama in her role for my taste. The older M's were far more upper crust and laconic.
I still want to know: what in the hell was agent Fields doing wearing a raincoat and, for all I could tell, not much else, if she is a British consular official doing her duty?
More later.
