Begging for Forgiveness (First Voluntary Post!)

Okay people, I have forgiveness to ask. It's not an easy thing for me to do, considering I'm hardly ever wrong. So...here goes.

In my 3rd assigned blog post, I referred to the new James Bond movie as something I look foward to. I can sucessfully change the word "Look" to "LookED" and after that add the following fragment: "but was extremely and sourly disappointed."

For for the first time in forever, James Bond let me down.

I wanted to like Quantun. I really did. I even dumbed down my expectations after reading harsh critics reviews. But, alas, the critics were right.

If you're going to see it, there's some things you should know. The beginning and ending are JAM PACKED with action. Other than that, the film is just talk talk talk talk talk that never ends. Not even witty dialogue from Casino Royale writer Paul Haggis can stop the dreadfully dull and boring movement. Even the opening title sequence, a surefire hit in Bond movies was a missfire. The song Another Way to Die by Jack White and Alicia Keys is good, but the strange and off kilter graphics just deter from the quality of the movie.

Sorry to the people I'm disappointing, but please don't make the mistake I did. Don't put your eggs in this Bond's basket.

Oh..I'm sorry...did I say Bond?

I meant...Bland...James Bland.

I have yet to see Quantum of Solace, and now with what I am hearing from you and many other poeple, I am wondering whether or not I should just wait and get in on netflix and save myself 10$. I just don't want to be dissapointed like I was with many other blockbuster sequels (Spider-man 3, X-Men 3, Indiana Jones).

Dude totally agreed thought it was weak.
Totally lost the whole time... Bond wasnt suave, didnt have any cool gadgets, didnt have the hot main girl, and just wasnt very cool. I agree with the disappointment and feel your pain.
