the movie. started last week, only just got a chance to see it today. wasn't sure if it would be my cup of tea. and still not sure. part of my opinion is coloured by the fact that it's set in and around my home town. and of course wasn't filmed there (cheaper to film in queensland, closer to production facilities) so of course i was distracted by the fact that the town didnt look right. also some of the countryside wasn't in the territory either. but no one else will be bothered by that. I'm sure new yorkers must get annoyed about movies filmed in toronto or vancouver but set in their home town.
so the movie? well, it's a meeting of 'gone with the wind' and 'pearl harbour' set in the aussie outback i guess. the beginning was annoyingly comical. hugh jackman is inexplicably MORE buff than wolverine, which doesnt make sense for a stockman, who are normally pretty wiry. but i guess it fits in with the whole epic feel. the kid who narrates the story is adorable, and certainly helps tie the movie together.
it is epic- 165 minutes. but id didnt feel like it dragged too much.
score? not sure. i gave quantum of solace 3.5 out of 5. i score purely on entertainment value. doesnt matter what genre. for instance, a couple of days ago i saw 'big stan' starring rob schneider. i recon thats about a 3.5 too, because it entertained me equally as much as quantum.
it's at least a 3 anyway. take a chick with you ;D

You know, I was watching the ads for it, and I thought it might be a good movie, but then something kept nagging at me that it may be more of a chick flick.
