Not Very Good

Rating: 5/10 (12 September 2014)

Quantum of Solace was a pretty average movie. I didn't hate it but I didn't really like it either. I honestly didn't like Casino Royale either. Skyfall is the best Daniel Craig Bond film (yeah, the plot doesn't make sense but it has some terrific action). It's not that I hate Daniel Craig. But he's not the closest to the 007 of Ian Fleming's books like everyone says he is. It's not because he has blonde hair or anything like that. It's that he tries too hard to be a cold and uncaring secret agent who's absolutely indifferent to killing.
But we're talking about Quantum of Solace here. The plot was okay but not very compelling. I did like Olga Kurylenko as Camille Montes more than Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, though I'll admit I didn't like Eva Green at all and she's one of my least favorite Bond girls. The action just felt a bit, um, not very well-executed. And why'd they try to imitate one of the most famous scenes in the series (the death of Tilly Masterson)?
So yeah, Quantum of Solace was not terrible but not very good or very fun either. Skyfall is definitely the best Daniel Craig Bond movie so far.
