Quantum of Solace has a few WAOUWS, but at the most, it is poorly handled.

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2015)

What's good about Quantum of Solace is that it has brutality, breathlessness, emotional tenderness and some truly terrific scene pieces, which make it an impressive entry in the Bond canon but it was nevertheless a harmed Bond film and here's what I'm on about: the screenplay is weak and too obvious, the story isn't compelling and the Bond character is a little messed up. What I think was a little messed up with Bond is that though I praise Bond being shown as having a dark personality to himself in this film, he no longer represents anything British in personality like in the first Craig-Bond film and that I think is a mistake in the film and something that should have been kept in the film, along with his dark personality. The movie is a little too short for me and I would have wanted it to be a bit longer. What's more, the tone of the film is too light, the movie lacks in joyous pacing and energy and fails to be a significant improvement over its predecessor. Despite a few well earned points, Quantum of Solace is a thrilling misfire and arguably won't win many fans. My rating: 6.2/10
