Quantum Of Solace

Yes! He is back. Bond, James Bond himself. The trailer has recently been released for the new James Bond movie 'Quantum of Solace'. I personally think that when an action film does a good and even trailer for a movie that they are the best going...and this hits the mark.

Starting off with the slow introduction, this Bond has a newer and darker feeling than previous films-the bad guys seem really real and threatening rather than such exaggerated characters that were in the older Bond films. The idea of James Bond being a rebel against his orders, grieving the loss of the love of his life and still trying basically to do his job i think sets up a good scene for the film.

However, in the trailer it then builds up to a finale full of action moments, quirky lines and a flash of a pretty woman and abit of torso-who would want to leave the old Bond ways all together? No one i hope. I believe a mix of modern agression with the tradtional touches will make 'Quantum of Solace' a great success.

The trailer is really well edited in it's difference between paces, the almost blinking eye way of changing scenes smoothly and the music volumised and silenced in the right places. Another thing that caught my eye was the 007 turning into the words for the title and the date the film is coming out. I think every touch like that means the trailer has been well thought out and professionally executed.

If the film is anything like the trailer, bring it on!

After having just watched the trailer for the first time, i am definitely looking forward to the release of this film. Previous to Casino Royale I wouldn't have thought about going to the cinema to see a Bond film, but now I would, and not just because its Daniel Craig playing Bond. It does look a lot darker, more menacing, and full of twists and turns.
The use of the 007 logo is clever, seamless and subtle rather like Bond himself. Roll on November!
