Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Rubbish, no plot and forgetful Comment: Casino Royale was actually a good bond film to watch, this on the other hand is dreadfull. There is no story at all, the scenes are all disconnected it wouldnt make a difference if they scrammbled the scenes in a different order - it would still remain plotless, dull and forgetful. I didnt like the short scene showcasing the touch screen technology in the mi6 office - it seemed pointless and didnt fit in, it didnt wow either! The cast was rubbish esp the bond girl and the villain. The supporting actors didnt get enough air time before they got killed off(the girl covered in oil, hmmm bit like goldfinger?, and the policeman)..disapointing!..i honestly cant remember what elese happended...hmmm Worst bond film ever created..a missed opportunity Customer Rating: Summary: The Perfect Action Movie! Comment: This movie is brilliant with amazing effects and acting. The stunts are incredible and Bond is as cool as ever! Great Film! Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant Bond! Comment: This film had everything! Brilliant Action, Brilliant Acting, Brilliant Storyline! The Perfect Action Movie ever made! The stunts were amazing and Daniel Craig was brilliant! I reccommend that you get this DVD! Customer Rating: Summary: Nudey Lady and an Aston Martin?? It must be Bond!!! Comment: From the very start with the stylish trashing of the token Aston Martin, you know you are watching Bond. But in the immortal words of someone else, it's Bond but not as we know him. Following on directly from the stunning Casino Royale we see a very raw, emotionally charged Bond. I found this new, brutal but emotive Bond compelling. Yes there was the good old nudey lady in Bond's bed and the chase across rooftops with people shaking their fists skywards and shouting angrily from below, but it felt different, dare I say better, a lot better. Visually it is fast moving but beautiful and it held just the right amount of emotional torment from both the "revengeful" leads. Daniel Craig is fantastic again and seems to have genuinely made Bond his own. Overall although it doesn't have the same brilliance as Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace has continued to champion this new brutal, rough around the edges but deeper style of Bond movie and long may it continue! Customer Rating: Summary: "How can they be everywhere and we know nothing about them". Comment: This direct sequel to Casino Royale continues the new gritty, moody Bond feel and it works just as well... MI6 is on edge after a secret organisation has wangled its own men into the inner circle of boss "M". Bond seems to be on a revenge driven killing spree. Not a good time for the foreign secret service - and all this when in true Bond tradition, a powerful mentalist is doing his best to disrupt the world balance. The plot is never totally clear and you do tend to just accept that what you're watching fits together - but that's nothing new for a Bond film, and you don't actually feel confused. The focus of this film is Bond himself, there's plenty of hand-to-hand combat, physical stunts, and Bond having to face the consequences of his own actions. This builds on the character development from the `first' film to give us an action hero with depth. This isn't a flawless Bond, we see him victorious - but dishevelled. He spends more time ruffled than snappily dressed, and the spy-game seems serious now. The increasing cheese that had started to affect the Bond films is limited to a few moments of corny pleasure. In a nutshell: Incredibly directed, with glorious car chases, breath taking action scenes and that sparkle of Bond glamour. This feels like a spy film of the early sixties - but with a massive budget and 21st century style directing and special effects. Imagine Harry Palmer with muscles a violent streak and you're not that far away from Quantum of Solace - the essence of Bond has been captured! This new direction with Daniel Craig is perhaps the most exciting thing to happen to this film franchise since Roger Moore's magnetic watch (I wish I had one of those). This is good, but I get the feeling that it's just going to get even better. More Reviews
