Quantam of Solace - Missing James Bond

Rating: Null/10 (9 November 2008)

What I miss the most in the movie Quantum of Solace is "James Bond" himself. He is the one who doing the running around, literally speaking. The action sequence is mostly, Daniel Craig running behind sidekicks, cars, etc. In the whole movie, he does not say, "Bond, James Bond". He does not have the the conventional Martini, 'stirred, but not shaken'. James Bond needs to have be quirky one liners, and he didn't. James Bond needs to have some out of the world gadget and all he showed off GPRS connected Sony Erickson phone. Daniel Craig gets hurt, bruised, removes his tuxedo - very real and nice, but again not James Bond.
To watch this movie, I watched Casino Royale, the night before, was getting equipped to know more how the story will unfold. The movie actually begins where Casino Royale finishes. What I loved in the movie is that they put an end to developing the whole James Bond character, that they were developing since the previous movie, so at least next Bond movie will be with all the right elements. The other thing that I loved in the movie was the villain Dominic Greene played by Mathieu Amalric. He is most amazing in the movie and really looked wicked, and totally crooked, he had the right dialogues that he has also acted in the movie Munich - another favourite of mine. he was amazingly blunt. I have not seen all the Bond movies, but specially this one On her Majesty's Secret Service, with Robert Lazenby as James Bond where the villain was Telly Savalas. Here i feel that Telly Savals as the villain was much more powerful screen presence than Bond himself and same goes for QoS.
The theme of this James Bond has too much love, too much hate, too much revenge, when will the theme of James Bond "save the world" theme begin? Theme of this Bond movie as very clearly in the trailers is that Mr. James Bond is after the killers of Vesper Lynd - the romance that blossomed and killed in Casino Royale.
