Quantum of Solace

What happened to James Bond? The latest Bond epic is a huge disappointment. Where was the smug humour? What happened to the unreal action? And how come Bond films have suddenly decided to do way with a story line?

I’m afraid this just doesn’t live up to the legacy of earlier Bond movies. Make no mistake, Daniel Craig plays the part well – he’s moody and edgy – it just doesn’t bear any resemblance to what Bond should be. The special effects are great, but the additional realism, rather than enhancing the experience, has lined Bond up in a long line of ‘action’ movies. Indistinguishable from the rest.

What a shame!
