A Quantum of Spectre

I said it when I walked out of the theater after seeing Casino Royale, and I'll say it again after seeing Quantum of Solace - "SPECTRE". (Google it or watch Thunderball)

That has to be what they're building up to, I'll be heart broken if it isn't. Pure genius the way they're doing it too.

People who thought it was plot light didn't see it as the necessary transitional film that it is. It was more subtle on the content than say Moonraker, but also a lot less far flung.

I think Daniel Craig is now my favorite Bond. Yup, better than Connery. I'm glad to see the silly bond girl names as well as Q missing from the new movies. Not because they were bad in their time, but because I like the new approach to Bond (less camp). Those two things would have been way out of place with the new no-nonsense, gritty Bond character. He's still charming, but not so much with the cavalier playboy attitude.

Go see this Quantum of Solace, it'll make the next one even better.
