I personally have only seen a handful of the James Bond films. I like the character, and I like spy movies. I just simply have not gotten around to viewing even half of the catalog....It seems to me the older ones probably didn't age well.
I did enjoy Casino Royale, and I think Daniel Craig is the perfect actor for the role. I think Quantum of Solace will be a good movie--above and beyond its Bond-ness--because of Craig and because of director Marc Forster, who gave us the Kite Runner adaptation, Finding Neverland, and Stranger than Fiction (all groovy flicks.)
The theme song to Solace is performed by one of my favorite modern musicians, Jack White, as a duet with Alicia Keys. An odd mix, to be certain, but their voices live in the same space and to me, the song works. I enjoy it, and the video for it is pretty swining as well.
There is only one problem: In the video Jack is shown playing drums! Now he doesn't even need Meg for that. Will the White Stripes simply become the White Stripe?
