A sequel to the new James Bond

Rating: 2/10 (15 November 2008)

This movie continues where the last left off and portrays the same serious Bond that was introduced in Casino Royale. Similar to the last film, Quantum of Solace avoids many of the characteristics that are typical of James Bond titles: a screenplay that is filled with off-side one liners which make the movies more upbeat, and an introduction to Bond's latest technical gadgets from Q, including an exotic car that always packs several hidden features.
The story line doesn't seem as carefully thought out as usual Bond movies and is quite complex and difficult to follow at times. While Quantum of Solace is a decent action movie, its failure to include many of the standard Bond ingredients make the movie a disappointment for dedicated Bond fans, in an attempt to increase the audience by following a more standardized action movie recipe.
