A Quantum of disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (8 November 2008)

Daniel Craig is great to watch and as convincing as ever. Unfortunately the film itself did not build on the good things that made us like Casino Royale. The editing is way to quick and you just can't see a lot of the action. Then the story is vague at best and mostly nonsense. It now feels like we are into a trilogy or something, because this certainly felt unfinished. As for the characters, the ones that were good to watch, like Mathis and Felix Lighter, didn't have much screen time. As for the Swiss boy the ONLY thing he did was phone his mum which was cute, but the rest of his role could have been played by a showroom dummy. The most expensive Bond of all time? Where did they put the money? Must have been the higher oil prices. I hope that the Bond franchise can redeem itself forget about this rubbish and make the next installment more like Casino Royale. A note to the film makers...we like the clichés like my name is Bond, James Bond!!!!!
