HOLY CRAP QUANTUM OF SOLACE WAS AWESOME. HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP.
I'm kind of pissed that we got there late and missed the first twenty minutes, but I don't think we missed much (the movie is practically a non-stop action chase and it's pretty clear we just missed a few minutes of cars driving around at some dig/construction site), and we didn't miss the song, so no skin off my nose.
It takes a bit to get into the story of *this* movie (as opposed to the continuum from Casino Royale), but we may have missed something in the beginning (which may tie up the few questions I had about the "bad guys" in this film and the connection to Vesper, and one of M's comments). There's a *lot* of action and Melissa and I both noted that they really needed a steadycam. I mean, yes, I can tell you're going for gritty or whatever, and trying to be confusing, but HOLY CRAP it's a bit much to tell quite what's going on in all the fights.
But YAY lots of action and YAY badassness and HOLY CRAP I totally called the main plot twist (YES LIVING IN DAYTON AND TAKING GEOLOGY LOL, I know all about aquifers) and HOLY CRAP AWESOME REFERENCE TO CLASSIC BOND (the girl covered in oil) AND OMG THEY CAME UP WITH A BAD GUY SOCIETY THAT DOES NOT SOUND 60'S RIDICULOUS I LOVE IT. Quantum. How did I not see that coming? Also THE FRIGGING "Q" PINS, I'm a moron. I wonder if that is sort of a nod to Q since he is no longer a character, so to speak.
So... yeaaaaaaah. I forgot how awesome some of the Bond films are. :D Some movie channel has had a marathon playing, but I seem to always catch the Pierce Brosnan films and tbh, I'm not that fond of him. BUT I think I've been Indy-obsessed for so long now that I really wanted to go back and reread the Hardy Boys novels (look, don't ask, I've just realized that detective novels were a big part of my childhood and I haven't read any in a damn long while) and HOLY CRAP WATCHING THIS MOVIE WAS SO MUCH FUN.
I love spy stuff. <3
