Quantum of disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2008)

I am a huge fan of the Bond movies going back to the very first. Not being qualified to comment on the technical aspect of Quantum of Solace, I would like to add my two cents worth from a viewers perspective. The start of the movie is absolutely dreadful; where is the "Bond music" that has introduced us to these memorable movies over the years? Bond now reminds me of a two bit thug, the polish has completely disappeared from his character leaving us with a KGB clone, Ian Flemming must be spinning in his grave! The short scenes are irritating, and a comprehensible, believable storyline does not develop - this is just a dime comic book translated into film. Where is Q, where are the interesting gadgets he cunningly dreamed up? Where is Moneypenny? Heaven forbid another one of these travesties gets made!
