I'll do my best.

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2009)

One of the lines Bond says to M after being told not to kill everyone. Also a line which sums this film up very well.
It starts off with a cut scene of an ocean and a bridge which has a resemblance of Italy (where the last film finished) then we hear the roar of the Aston Martin DBS and a few quick shoots of it. Then finally after the build up it turns out to be a car chase, or a sad excuse for one, which is directed in the most horrible way...really its like they filmed it from 50 different angles then literally cut up each one as much as they could and put them in any order possible while drunk.
Within the first 8 minutes of watching the car chase (and i use the term car chase loosely) there are a total of 200 different shoots thats a change of shoot every 2.4 seconds...
The film progresses, we then get past this horrible bit of directing to find the opening credits (which to be fair most people skip; the song is normally pretty rubbish, the title scene is not very good either....this is no exception). After the opening credits....or a chapter later on your blu-ray disc...we find out that Bond and M have caught Mr White (yes very reservoir dogs) and they interrogate him regarding an organisation which is called Quantum, its then found out that one of the guys in the room is a double agent thus Bond chases him down going over the rooftops of Italy and finally kills him.
Bond travels back to London, gets told off by M and we learn that MI6 have struck a deal with Tony Stark since they now have the same touch screen technology as he does in his apartment. After which Bond then travels to Haiti, then meets Camille Montes who is going to kill Dominic Greene.
I'm all for bad guys and killing but seriously was someone just looking at a packet of paints while trying to look for names for these people Mr. White and Dominic Greene...
We then learn that Greene is making a deal with the General and that he plans to overthrow the government but Greene wants land. And like Lex Luthor's dad said in Superman Returns "You can print money, manufacture diamonds, and people are a dime a dozen, but they'll always need land. It's the one thing they're not making any more of." so it stands to reason that the main chairman of an organisation would want land...
Bond gets into yet another fight this time in a boat....yeah!, another chase meaning more bad editing and camera work...yeah! and happens to save the Camille, Bond then files to Austria (yep i'd love to see how many air miles he's got as well). Upon arriving in Austria, Bond then does what everyone must do on a visit there...infiltrate a massive organisation during an opera.
Bond then gets another telling off by M and this time because she thinks he killed someone who happened to be a body guard for the prime minister, so she stops his credit cards and cancels his passport (damn no more air miles for Bond). He then travels to Italy from Austria with no money and no passport! to see Mathis who go to La Paz. In La Paz, Bond and Mathis are greeted by Strawberry Fields (yep we've moved from colours to fruits) who works for MI6 and tells Bond he must return back to London on the next flight. The three musketeers book into a hotel.
Bond and Mathis then go to a party which is being held by Dominic Greene, to be honest at this point of the film it would have been better if Dominic Greene was played by Jools Holland... the party would have been better, have you seen Jools Holland's new year show! Bond then meets Camille and the two of them then leave together and find Mathis in the boot on the car they are driving...Mathis then dies.
The two then drive to the place Greene wants to get in return from the General. They then look over the area in a plane and there is another fight scene and more bad editing (i know the editing during fight scenes is rubbish blame the Bourne Identity for it being rubbish).
After they have a mid-air dog fight they get shoot down and some how with one parachute (which doesn't open till about 10 foot away form the floor) happen to live? they find out that Dominic is causing a drought. Have these people not seen the advert for Drench with Brains in it, really its a good advert and people are bound to be buying that over using tape water...
They find out this information and in the end Bond goes and kills Dominic...we all knew it was going to happen in the end.
The film itself tried to out do Casino Royale but didn't have the story or the direction of the first film. It was a revenge story which is good however it doesn't really go anywhere, it's just a slow action film. They could have left it open for another direct sequel but instead finished it too early. It would have been fine to be a second film in a trilogy.
As the title of this review says I don't think it was down to Craig I think he done a fantastic job with what he was given. I just think that the director, in particular, needs to learn from the mistakes of this film and watch Casino Royale again to see what was so great about it. And thus I leave you with this after all is said and done "Rhythm is a dance, it's a source companion,"...Quantum of Solace may be a poor film but that advert is quality.
