Why you shouldn't watch Quantum of Solace

Don't watch Quantum of Solace if you don't want to see an Aston Martin DBS spin many, many times, crash into a number of things, have its door ripped off and get machine-gunned at.

Don't watch Quantum of Solace if you love realistic chase scenes, and certainly do not watch it if you don't want to see a naked (albeit dead) woman lying face down in 700-thread count Egyptian cotton linen, smothered in crude oil.

Seriously though, despite many claiming that this new Bond movie isn't the most authentic piece of motion picture to leave the double-O-seven stable, we loved the number of cars "showcased" throughout the entire show, some of which included a sexy Range Rover, the new Ford Ka, a Jaguar XJ in black, and most surprisingly, a beloved Volkswagen Beetle classic from the seventies!

Admittedly, our petrol-infused hearts suffered a good wrenching after viewing the opening car-chase scene that involved a group of black-tied, Mafia-esque executioners chasing Bond in the Aston. The 159 eventually crashed down the mountainside, killing everyone inside it, as well as itself.

Oh dear, oh dear, if you're an Alfa fan.

Aside from that, everything else was typically action packed, Bond style, meaning business and pleasure combined in some very exquisite, provocative ways, decked out in supreme levels of luxury.
