Good action, confusing story

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2008)

While Quantum wasn't as good as Casino Royale it was still pretty good. It opened with a great car chase scene and had a promising storyline, but then the story got a little confusing. Like when they're explaining how they found a lead on someone by using marked money from Le Chiffe. After that the story kind of goes out the window, i.e. Mr. White hinted that he was in an organization and someone started shooting and Bond chased after that guy and a whole bunch a crap happened and Bond is wanted by a bunch of governments and then it gets uber confusing. Daniel Craig is a good Bond but one of my main problems is that they could have fleshed out the story and put an easy 30 to 45 minutes onto the run time and given more understanding to the audience. Also by making these movies "contemporary" Bond gets the crap beat out of him too many times for my liking and I don't know about anyone else but I miss Q. Not the insane sounding gadgets but Q himself. He could be the tech guy or something like that.
