Thumbs down Quantum of Solace.....Dissapointed

CAUTION DO NOT READ IF YOU DONT WANT ANY SPOILERS






Ya, another James Bond post. Just got back from Quantum of Solace. I was pretty dissapointed.

Car Chase: The only car chase was at the very beginning just to grab your attention. It was very "jumpy" and hard to follow and was put there only for the sake of having a car chase. It really served no purpose.

Cars: The only cars of interest in the movie were in the initial chase with a DBS (Bond) and an Alfa 159. The rest of the movie was filled with stupid Fords.

Evil Plot: The oil/water plot line was not developed enough and seemed only as a subplot to the more evident shoot people/fight/blow stuff up shinanagans.

Sequel: This movie is a sequel to Casino Royale which, if you havent seen, would leave you confused about a lot of dialogue and scenes. This is the first Bond movie that is a sequel and I think it will be regretted in the future. Whats nice about all the old Bond flicks is when they are on TV, you can watch them start to finish without any prior information, they are an entity within themselves and fun to watch because of it. In 10-15 years, I dont think this will be one of those movies.

Tail: Bond had his way with one decent looking girl who had about two lines and then was quickly killed off. The main girl character was cute and Bond always goes to bed with the main character...but not this time because the movie is about revenging the woman he loved in Casino Royale.

Gadgets/Q: NONE. Very disapointing.


I still like Daniel Craig but the writers of this movie really sold out to all the old action cliches and lost a lot of important James Bond elements. Its an entertaining movie no doubt but I left feeling let down and sad that I got excited for this movie which I assumed would be great (loved Casino Royale).
