After so many months of waiting, Sarah and I finally got to go see Quantum of Solace over the weekend, and it rocked. I figured I couldn't let such a momentous event pass by without making mention of it on the blog. The movie was great. I will admit that it may not be as good as Casino Royale (Daniel Craig's first outing as 007), but this movie was a respectable entry into the canon of Bond films.
The action sequences were amazing, although they do seem to follow the same shaky-camera method made popular in the last few Bourne movies. The plot was pretty good, but it basically just serves as a vehicle for getting Bond from one continent to the next so that he can kill more bad guys. But between the car chase, boat chase, and airplane chase, you fail to notice the parts of the plot that don't really add up.
All in all, the movie was everything I could have hoped for, and sets a precedent for amazing Bond films yet to come. Hooray!

Hooty and I plan on doing a little Bond-bonding this weekend...thanks for the preview. I believe the cinematography technique you referred to is known as...shaken...not stirred.
