The Last Half Of A Bond Movie

Rating: 6/10 (5 February 2010)

As the other reviewer commented, there is something wrong with this Bond movie. Firstly it was rushed to avoid the writer's strike, secondly it seemed more Bourne than Bond (even the same editor). The movie runs like the last half of a Bond movie, the action part that happens after the plot and characters has been established. The problem is that all the build up to Quantum Of Solace has occurred in the previous Bond, Casino Royale. So you have to watch both movies back to back ( if you have a spare 4 and a bit hours ) to get fully involved and engaged Quantum Of Solace. Perhaps the big mistake was making this a direct continuation of Casino Royale rather than the other stand-alone Bond epics. Lets hope Bond 23 will be an improvement.
