Even less charm and shaky cam, sigh......

Rating: 5/10 (4 November 2008)

I am one of the few, who didn't like Casino Royal overly much. The action sequences were great and Daniel Craig surprised me positively, but in my opinion it lacked the charm that I usually expect and love in a James Bond movie.
That being said Quantum of Solace went to the worse. Even more action compared to Casino Royale, which left almost no space for Bond charm, and with a great sigh I can say that the shaky cam now has entered the bond-movies as well :-/ The first two action scenes in the movie, which could have been cool, where more or less destroyed by a ridiculous overdone shaky cam that at times made it impossible to see, who was chasing who. It reminded me all to much of the second Bourne film that in my opinion also was destroyed on the same grounds.
So my recommendation would be: see the movie, when it is released on DVD and make sure to comment on the shaky cam, so that next time at least we will have a great action movie - even if it doesn't have that much to do with the Bond-movies we used to know.
