This is not Bond - its just another action movie

Rating: 3/10 (3 December 2008)

This is not the Bond we have come to expect. In Casino Royale, we understood that Bond has just been given the 00 status and he was new to the game. thats why he was making so many mistakes. But the legendary wry wit was there and so were the one-liners which has become the trade mark of Bond. In Quantum, Bond is very subdued and does not take off from where he left off in Casino Royale. When we saw him in a tailored suit at the end of Casino Royale, saying - The name is Bond, James Bond --- we thought that the Bond we have come to know and love is in the making.
But sadly, in Quantum, he is just a mere shadow of his character. Craig just sleep walks through the whole movie and is very bland. The action scenes are so fast and in your face that most of the time you are confused. There is no soul to the movie and the action scenes are so well choreographed that they seem very automated.
All in all -- its just another action movie -- can't call it a Bond movie
