I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an idiot. Sometimes things just confuse me and I’m OK with that. But I don’t let that confusion get in the way of sheer entertainment.

This brings me to the latest James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. The plot? I have no idea what was really going on. It picks up right where 2006′s Casino Royale left off and it has something to do with Bond being fueled by revenge and trying to hide it from everyone (but not really) and some secret organization’s hunt for oil (but not really?) and a Bond girl (Olga Kurylenko) who gets screwed around more than anyone (yeah, really). And Bond just stomps around, hella moody.

But don’t go for the plot, go for the action. Where Casino Royale was all about the slow-burn and intrigue (a game of poker has never been so riveting), Quantum of Solace is all about the action. Taking a page right out of the Bourne Trilogy, the action is quick, manic and in your face. In other words: sitting in the front will give you vertigo (but if you want to really ogle Daniel Craig‘s chiseled pecs and impressively-fitting designer pants, then go for it).

So, Quantum of Solace: better than Casino Royale? No. But still pretty damn good.
