Give it a chance!

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2012)

People complain the plot is hard to follow. I had seen this movie before Casino Royale because I wasn't aware they were actually related and I had no problem whatsoever in understanding the plot.
People complain the editing of the action sequences made them ill and dizzy. I ask these people "How old are you - 90?" The action scenes are very good and yes you can see some kind of Bourne resemblance but you know what? They actually work better here, in the context of James Bond.
People complain it wasn't much of a Bond movie but, in my humble opinion, I think that was the whole point of replacing Pierce Brosnan and resurrecting the franchise: bring James Bond back for the new millennium. If some classic elements are missing such as the drink reference or his famous lines that is because the modern audience is smarter than that. James Bond is right there next to Titanic, Madonna and Michael Jackson in popular culture. We don't need clichéd reminders of who he is.
No one around here mentioned the cinematography but I found it really great! The harsh lights, the burning sun were fitting and the are something to be remembered.
P.S. Looking retrospectively, I actually loved Quantum of Solace a tad more than Skyfall, recently seen in the cinema.
All in all, i think it deserves a 9 but i will give it a 10, just to balance all the negative scores..
