Not a James Bond Movie

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2008)

After leaving the theater, I felt as if Quantum of Solace was missing something. Casino Royale had revived a falling Bond franchise and gave us a terrific Bond in Daniel Craig. After watching the trailers for Quantum, I thought that this movie would continue on the great success that is Bond.
However, this Bond movie felt like an ordinary action flick with no typical Bond features (which is unfortunate but acceptable) except Daniel Craigwho delivers another good performance. Olga Kurylenko was brutallypainful as the Bond girl and had no chemistry with Craig. The movie wasbasically 20 minutes of action, 5 of talking, and back into action. Fora director (Marc Forster-Finding Neverland) who is good at developinghis characters, he fell short in this outing.
The ending seems to just be another set up for a third movie which I totally do not agree with. I'm not going to spoil anything, but when you watch Quantum of Solace, you will feel as if your watching any ordinary action flick not James Bond.
6/10
