I just finished watching Quantum of Solace like four seconds ago.
- Summary: BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN BEAUTIFUL PLACES DOING BADASS THINGS
- Daniel Craig is so, so, so, so hot. o m f g
- fffffuuuuuck I loved Camille. "Tell me when you do. I'd like to know how it feels." ommmmg
- I guess I'm one of the few people who liked this more than than Casino Royale. For one, I actually sort of understood what was happening?? I'm the dumb, but seriously, I had NO IDEA what the FUCK was going on in Casino Royale at any given moment. "He blows up an airport and then... they're on a train and his heart... stops... and torture...?? and boat????????????" I thought this was much easier to follow. There were some parts that seemed ridiculous and lolwut all over the place but I thought there were a bunch of those moments in Casino Royale too soo ummmm whatever, I never watch anything for the plot.
- Secondly, I think the problem I had with Casino Royale was that I had never seen a Bond movie before and that the new reboot Bond was SUCH a new slate that there was no history of the character to me. So, like, for the entire movie I didn't know his ~motivations~ or whatever. In Quantum of Solace I had that sense of knowing what made the character I saw now.
- But I might just need to rewatch Casino Royale.
- I thought this movie was a very good follow-up to it anyway.
- omg Olga Kurylenko. that she is insanely beautiful is practically a given; she's just so capable and bullshit-free. it translates really well to Camille. btw I love that they didn't overdo anything with Camille, like not explicitly explaining her burn scar or her freak-out in the fire at the end.
- all the action sequences were damn awesome. I could pretty much follow what was happening in all of them, which is a rare occurrence. ~excitement~~~~
- I don't think I would have any patience for any other Bond. Daniel Craig is the most compelling fucking thing.
- Mathis's death was really quite sadcat. :(
- M is amazing.
- I loved M and Bond's relationship.
- I loved Bond and Camille's relationship.
- I loved the end.
- Daniel Craig is so fucking hot.
