Quantum of disappointments

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2012)

This was a alright movie but the story is crap. The set pieces and everything from the action to the acting is well done but the story just didn't do it for this movie. There was some really high expectations for this movie since "Casino Royale" is a freaking awesome movie. There was also a expectation that this would be the contender to "The Dark Knight" well that was farthest from the truth. Unfortunately this sequel ended up being a very big disappointment and I really wanted to like this movie. Like I said some good action set pieces but even that couldn't make this a better movie. It just lacked the engaging and engrossing elements that "Casino Royale" has. Instead it seemed like it was trying to be another "Bourne" movie. What movies should never do is show a simple story in the most convoluted way possible. And that is what this movie does, when it comes down to it. The story isn't great and is simple, but they tried to make it seem more intelligent than it really is. Which is it's main downfall and if the action was better integrated into the story the action sequences would have had more of an impact.
5.5/10
