Movie: Quantum of Solace


My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8

Genre: Action

Series or set: James Bond 007

Number in series: You can watch James Bond in any order you like!

Primary actors: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench

Length: About two hours

Time period: Present

Rating: PG-13

Year it came out: 2008

My overall opinion: Yet another James Bond movie in which Daniel Craig steals my heart! Okay, he’s actually way too old for me. But if I was…25 years older, I would be head over heels in love. He is seriously a great hero dude in these movies. My favorite thing about this movie? It included epic chases by plane, by boat, AND by car. Like I said, I once again really loved Daniel Craig’s performance as James Bond, and if you’re a fan of Craig, Bond, action movies, chase scenes, or action - this movie is a must-see!

Movie: Casino Royale


My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8.5

Genre: Action

Series or set: James Bond 007

Number in series: These are awesome – you can watch them in any order. And they still work. :)

Primary actors: Daniel Craig (falling for this guy!), Judi Dench

Length: A little over two hours

Time period: Present

Rating: PG-13

Year it came out: 2006

My overall opinion: Ooooo. So I started watching James Bond with Skyfall and have now watched everything my library has. I really love Daniel Craig and James Bond at large! This one had some lovely sets in Venice – absolutely beautiful. There were also AMAZING sets at an airport and a construction site – the whole chase at the construction site was one of my favorite scenes. Pretty amazing! I also really enjoyed the soundtrack for this one. It was great. I’ve never played poker (or whatever game it was they were using to gamble) so some of that lingo went over my head – but I still managed to find this a great movie. Like with all James Bond movies, be advised that there’s a little objectionable content – look on IMDB for details. All in all though? Good movie!

Movie: Skyfall


My rating on a 1-10 scale: 9

Genre: Action

Series or set: James Bond 007

Number in series: I have no idea…and is it really a series? No. Not really. Cause I watched this one and had never watched a James Bond film before, but caught on just fine.

Primary actors: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench

Length: About two hours

Time period: Present

Rating: PG-13

Year it came out: 2012

My overall opinion: So I always knew I’d have to watch this someday, and now I finally brought it home from the library, settled myself in one evening, and watched it. What an enjoyable film – right up my alley of movies I enjoy! It was absolutely packed with adventures, non-stop action, awesome sets, a large fire, mystery, suspense, and so much more. I really enjoyed it, and definitely intend to watch more James Bond films. Also, I really want a gun that recognizes my palm-print and only shoots for me – ‘cause that’s just awesome. The scenes in that abandoned city – okay, back up. Abandoned places kind of fascinate me, whether they’re that city in Russia that was abandoned because of nuclear poisoning in the air, or something like the one in this movie. I watched avidly through that whole scene. This is a movie I’d be happy to watch again. Oh, and Adele. I’m not a huge Adele fan, just in general, but her “Skyfall” song that’s used for the (long) beginning credits is awesome and I really like it. Listen, even if you haven’t seen the movie and don’t intend to. Be warned, there is some language and occasional other objectionable things – check IMDB for a list. But. This movie is pretty awesome!
