very good, everything comes full circle

Despite what the crittics say about the latest installment in the James bond series Quantum of solace. this is actually what should have been expteced. With Casino Royale leaving on a high note(Daniel craig finally saying "the names Bond James Bond" and followed by the monty norman Theme song for bond). Quantum opens with a bang in which bond is in a car chase follwed by Mr. White's(Jesper Christiansen) Henchmen/bodyguards. the very opening scenes make you think that it might be a silent scene but this is not the case. the engines of both bonds Aston Martin Dbs roar to life with flare as well as the henchmen's. this is one of the various scenes thoughout the movie that does this. However, with brilliant Direction by Marc Forster(Finding Neverland) the scenes help add to bonds mood and current thoughts which is really pure genius in film making but nothing really new. Quantum is one movie that has many firsts for bond. including. the first Direct continuation between films,the first time bond doesnt say "the names bond james bond", and the first time the movie wasn't at least two hours long.(running at an 1 hour and 45 minutes). as far as things coming full circle we see that the death of vesper has truly affected bond in a big way, a way we have never seen before. and that bond does forgive people for there mistakes. Quantum of solace is no doubt a very different bond film but easily one of the best (just not on a standalone basis).
