Quantum of Solace

You can't beat 241 Orange Wednesdays at Vue Shepherd's Bush for big screen entertainment and I was very excited about seeing this new Bond installment. Especially as this cinema trip is likely to be our last for quite some time.

Seeing a new Bond always takes me back to my first big Bond screen experience, seeing Roger Moore in The Spy Who Loved Me at the Odeon in the Market Square, Nottingham. Always memorable as there was also a power cut that night and we had to stand outside for half an hour waiting for the lights to come one.
I've loved Bond movies ever since and it's fantastic that Daniel Craig (he's a brilliant Bond, the first highly accomplished actor in the role) has now reinvigorated the franchise to such an extent that it's safe to say, we have many more Bonds to look forward to for some years ahead.
As a book-end or epilogue to Casino Royal, the film works well, less so as a self contained (stand alone) Bond movie. But it's still hugely entertaining and thrilling. I'd just like the next film be a bit more Bondish, meaning; have the Bond theme at the start and reprised at the climax of action sequences, inject a little more humour (I'd love a few Roger Moore style 'raised eye brow' one liners) and some Ken Adam-ish 'set-piece' evil villain lairs.
