Much has been made of the sadism of the James Bond character, particularly in his original incarnation in the fiction of Ian Fleming. But as played by Daniel Craig in “Casino Royale” and now “Quantum of Solace,” there’s a case to be made for 007 as masochist — unlike earlier renderings of the character, Craig’s Bond lets the audience feel the impact of every blow to the head, every bullet to the shoulder, every face-first landing into the side of a building.
He’s ba-a-ck. Indeed, the man from MI6 — you know, the dapper gent with the penchant for fast cars, comely companions and fine-tuned martinis — is back with a vengeance. “Quantum of Solace,” the 22nd James Bond movie, hits U.S. movie screens on November 14, and fans of the franchise and armchair travelers alike have plenty to look forward to.
In any long-running series, a hero is only as memorable as the villains he goes up against, and James Bond is no exception. The superspy’s chief nemeses tend to be would-be world-conquering megalomaniacs, epitomized by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the leader of terrorist organization SMERSH. But many, if not most, of the most memorable villains tend to be the ones closer to Bond’s own pay grade: The henchmen, hired killers and thugs who duke it out with 007 mano a mano in the field — people like Oddjob, the tough-as-a-brick chauffeur of Auric Goldfinger who sported a bowler hat that could cut off the head off a marble statue.
