So there’s this here new James Bond movie coming out this Friday: Quantum Of Solace. I’m reasonably psyched to check it out for several reasons, namely, Daniel Craig continuing his take on Bond after Casino Royale, and the storyline which partly promises “revenge” for the death of Vesper Lynd.

Bond has gone on “revenge” quests before, but never satisfyingly: He hunted down Blofeld at the start of Diamonds Are Forever for the death of his wife Traci Di Vicenzo in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, which took place in like – minutes, and in Licence To Kill he avenged the death of his longtime American CIA friend Felix Leiter which unfortunately resulted in a very average action flick. Anyhow, neither situations were executed well. I believe Quantum Of Solace will do a better job.

Overall, Sean Connery is still my favorite Bond, with From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, and Thunderball being the triumphant trilogy. Roger Moore peaked out with The Spy Who Loved Me and then turned in a few entries where he resembled a walking corpse. Dalton didn’t get enough goes before being sacked, and Brosnan started off strong but got no help from progressively stupider plots and ended up battling a shaved Korean in an ice palace, set to the worst song Madonna ever recorded. But amazingly, Daniel Craig seems to have successfully “rebooted” the series and Bond is on an upswing.

Anyhow, if by the two preceding paragraphs it seems I’ve followed Bond a bit too closely, I shamefully admit I have, as a while I back I watched all of the James Bond movies and reviewed them, plus ranked the movies, listened to the theme songs, read a book, and thought way too much about Bond that someone running a blog as hobby would consider appropriate.

Here are links to all my previous James Bond articles. At the very least, consider it prep for Quantum Of Solace. Enjoy.
