Quantum of Solace

Rating: 5/10 (13 November 2008)

Well where to start or when does it finish was almost my impression throughout the film.
James Bond has come along way, since it started it on the big screen and has some how survived since the early 60's to now, 40 years +. A lot of the earlier films are favourites of mine to From Russia With Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Dalton's era and a couple of Brosnan's. Then we were introduced to Craig, Daniel Craig. In Casino Royale which I think I can speak for everyone here was awesome in more ways than one the reason it stands so tall amongst others. Its the source of James Bond, the debut of Ian Fleming character is what makes it so great. Very plausible and a joy to watch. The one other thing that stands out is how the film was shot It is Martin Campbell who directed it (Goldeneye before that) he totally understands was the public wants and if he had came back for Quantum it would of been a whole lot more enjoyable. Now onto Quantum
First things I noticed about Quantum was it was around 30 minutes less than Casino Royale. Secondly some jack the lad named Marc Foster directing it the only film I'd seen that he had done was Stranger than Fiction. Excellent film but has as much action Dr. No did. So how does Marc make up this all in Bond 22 by multiplying the body count in every scene and throwing the camera against the wall. The film to be honest was hellish on the eyes to watch when action scenes happened you could barely identify who was in the scene and what was going on, and the plot on the other hand was weaker than Moonraker. It was a shame to honest and its the directors fault in my opinion even if the plots weak at least make the film enjoyable to watch. Bring back Martin Campbell for the next one please. BE WARNED SIT AT THE BACK OF THE CINEMA WITH SOME SHADES ON YOUR GONNA NEED THEM OR YOUR GONNA GO BLIND !!
