Just the usual action movie

Rating: 6/10 (15 November 2008)

First off, let me just say I really like Daniel Craig, I think he's the best James Bond lately. But unfortunately, they don't use him correctly. The movie Quantum Solace doesn't deliver : it's just another action movie, not a James Bond movie. The plot is very weak and there's very little character development.
At least in Royale, James Bond was a little more complex. They tried to make him tormented and imperfect. In Quantum Solace, they continued on that thread, but pushed it too far and made it ridiculous. James Bond is now more like the cop from the 80's who kicks everyone ass and runs away from his barking boss. The plot goes along this line, too. Why didn't they pick Sylvester Stalone while we're at it? If you're expecting explosions, car chases, mindless fighting and pursuits, you won't be disappointed, because that's all there is to this movie.
