I always wanted this to happen ; Watch a movie first day first show and come home and write the review.Finally, it gets fulfilled with this movie.
Plot:
The Movie picks off from where "Casino Royale" left , Bond captures Mr.White and puts him in the boot of his car.It begins with a well choreographed car chase.After this,bond and M interrogate Mr.White about his organisation , Quantum.M's most trusted bodyguard betrays her and allows White to escape.He then becomes Bond's first victim of his killing spree which you will see throughout the movie.Through forensic investigations involving currency notes from the bodyguard's purse,Bond heads to Haiti to track his contact and kills him.The story then heads to Dominic Greene,the chairperson of Greene Planet,an organisation which is known to the outside world as one which helps maintain ecological balance.Not spoiling the story any further, M is forced to stop Bond's movements and cancels all his passports and credit cards.The way Bond finds the reason behind his ladylove's treachery in casino royale and also stopping Greene from his proposed acquisition of land in a deserted place forms the rest of the story.
The first 45 minutes seems to enthrall you with amazing fight sequences and keeps you wanting for more when the next 45 minutes doesn't turn out what you expected it to be.
The only thing that impresses any viewer would be the stunts and the sound effects.Storywise,you would be disappointed and would have a thought that you have witnessed the same plot in some other movie.
About Craig,right from the first i had a feeling that he wouldn't make a good bond,although he was quite ok with this movie than the previous one.
The scene in the opera where bond captures long distance clear as well as pixeled photos of the villains is a very good advertisement for Sony Ericsson Titanium Silver C902 cybershot.The Phone really looks great.
All in all,the movie is worth watching only once and maybe one can skip all other scenes except the stunt ones and watch it in surround sound.
So give this Marc Forester's bond flick "Quantum Of Solace" a try but better hope that the next is not a sequel again because we want something "NEW!!".
