Quantum of Solace
11/16/2008
I saw Quantum of Solace on Saturday night. I didn’t think would see it this weekend. I was too tired on Thursday to make it to the midnight showing. Friday night I was busy. Saturday I had an all day workshop. I had gotten sick in there somewhere. I needed to write. But after Saturday’s workshop, tired as I was, I went with a few others to the movie.
I didn’t like it as much as the first. I often felt like I missed something along the way. I may have been too tired to follow the dialogue closely. It has a lot of action, so if you love action movies, this one is a must-see. The filming of the action scenes bothered my eyes. The scenes were partly blurry just like they might be in real life. I was left feeling a bit out of sorts. The villians were sufficiently creepy. Bond was cold and calculating, yet tormented. I haven’t read any reviews, so I dn’t know what others have thought. The movie has done well over the weekend though–lots of tickets.

I could not tell what on earth was going on in the action scenes. You weren’t missing anything, the film just wasn’t very good. And while it had a lot of action it was not fun to watch. Partly because you couldn’t see it but also because the story was so so and not very involving.

I saw your review. I was glad to hear that someone else was bothered by the action scenes. They were filmed to add action, but the scenes were blurry. I’ve seen this film technique before. My eyes were really bothered. I spoke to a few people who really enjoyed the film. My friends who went to the film with me thought it was just okay.
