Good. But missing the original magic...

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2008)

Quantum of Solace is a good film...and if it wasn't linked to the famous franchise i'm sure it would be hailed by many...except it's downfall is the fact it is supposed to be a James Bond film.
Don't get me wrong, i think the cheesy attitude of Moore has no place in todays franchise, yet we do need a bit more Bond. The producers have set up the story in two parts...and they have been brilliant instalments. Yet, i hate to say it...but humour and gadgets need to come back. At first look at Casino Royale i was amazed...it was a little less like a Bond film but many people loved it because of that... and now the sequel comes around i'm afraid we're starting to miss the banter with Q, and constant flirtation with Moneypenny..
"Bond. James Bond" "Shaken not stirred."
I think it's time they come back..
The plot was reasonable.. and the film was done very well... with strong performance's.. and the right level of emotion..but whose to say we can't throw a bit of Humour and cheek in as well..
I think Craig has the potential to make the best Bond film..they just have to level Casino Royale.. with Goldfinger... Bring back Q, Moneypenny, Gadgets, humour, but keep the seriousness of the plot and story which makes Quantum such a good film.
Bond is certainly back...but i think the third instalment for Craig could be the decider whether the Fourth will be worth bothering.
