Quantum Of Solace
Posted by vince on Tuesday, November 18, 2008 (02:35:21) (39512 reads)
The 22nd film in the James Bond series is the second to star Daniel Craig in the title role. Bond's mythology was rebooted in 2006 with the release of Casino Royale, in which Craig inherited the mantel from Pierce Brosnan. Craig's Bond is a bit grittier though I did feel that Brosnan's Bond was heading in that direction. Still, the Brosnan era continued the tried and true staples of gadgets and babes. Oh, the babes are still around in Craig's world, but he doesn't spend nearly as much time with them. Gone though are Q and his impossibly clever gadgets which seemed to always be invented just in time to be precisely what Bond would need in the particular adventure in which they were introduced.

I think there are basically two approaches for creating films based on comic book or anime characters. You can go for "grounded in reality", a la the latest crop of comic book films or you can "create a new reality" a la Ultra Violet. Yes, I know people don't have super powers in our world, however Spiderman, Batman, The Uncanny X-Men and The Fantastic Four, have all recently appeared in films which attempt to convince us they exist in our universe. The streets are the same, the cars, the clothes... we just have to accept that there are folks who can accomplish preternatural feats and that is, of course, where the fun begins!

The comic book super hero movie. Yeah, that's not really a sentence, but it is however, a challenge. Sometimes they get lucky (X-men), sometimes they get something embarrassing (Captain America), but no matter what, they almost always have one major problem: the second half.

Michael Bay does a fantastic job bringing the franchise into the 21st century by purchasing the best SFX money can buy: ILM.
