Another great Bond film

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2008)

I've read a lot of negative reviews of Quantum of Solace, so here's my 2 cents.
So, to respond to the main detractors: the opening car chase was thrilling, those that tell you they felt sea-sick from the editing should go and watch antiques roadshow and stay out of the cinema. Yes, there are plenty of things that are unrealistic is this movie. If you're looking for realism then why are you watching a Bond film? One of them had an invisible car in it! So what if it's unrealistic? It's cool. And that's all that matters. There's plenty of humour, it's just not the Roger Moore eyebrow-raised humour. And finally yes, it's a lot darker. Bond has suffered a huge personal loss in the previous film and he doesn't care who he kills to atone for that. Anyone who says there's no character development in this film was watching a different film to me.
To the people complaining that Quantum of Solace is not exactly like Casino Royale, why don't you go watch Casino Royale again?
There were a couple of things that stopped the film from getting full marks though: the plot was a little convoluted, the computer system the headquarters guys used was ridiculously over-designed, but they're minor flaws in a great night out at the movies. If delivers what it's supposed to from a Bond movie - cool.
