James Bond or Jason Bourne?

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2008)

The answer is: Neither!
I already thought Casino Royale was just "ok" and I really hoped that Quantom Of Solace would make up for the lack of Bond-characteristics in Casino Royale. Unfortunately it did not. This is the worst Bond movie ever made.
Where are the unique Bond gadgets? Where is Q? Where is the English humor? Where is the shaken not stirred Martini? Where is "my name is Bond, James Bond"? Or better yet: Where IS James Bond? This James Bond is more a kind of Jason Bourne, but that would too much credit for this James Bond. Calling the character James Bond is already too much credit!
According to me this Bond movie is just another action movie, which may not even be put near the Bond series! The directing was poor, there was no real excitement, everything was very predictable. We even considered leaving the theater early because we were bored by this movie. Just because we hoped that the ending might be good, we sat out this movie. Too bad it did not get any better.
I really hope the next Bond movie (if there is a next) will be more Bond like and less Bourne like. What a waste of my buck.
