Its Not Meant To Be a Bond Masterpiece It's A Companion.

Rating: 6/10 (11 June 2014)

I have always been a bond fan since my dad showed me The man with the golden gun at age 3. I went to see this at the cinema when it came out. As a 10 year old kid it had enough action to keep me content. I have seen it numerous times (along with every other bond movie ever made) since it came out on DVD. There has always been something missing from it but I could never tell what.
Recently I watched all the Bond movies again in order and I realised what was wrong with Quantum of Solace. It is not meant for a stand alone bond movie if anything it is Casino Royale part 2. It continues where Casino Royale left off and finishes off the story of Casino Royale. If you haven't seen Casino Royale you wont understand it at all.
It does follow a short story written by Ian Fleming (Author of the Bond Books) but really that's just a side story to bulk the movie up to a feature length running time.
Yes Quantum of Solace does have a bad rating and the main storyline is just awful. The run time is much shorter than the standard Bond movie so just watch it to find out the conclusion to Casino Royale and bear in mind while watching it that its not meant to be spectacular its only there to round off the story of Casino Royale.
By the way my Rating is solely based on the fact that its not a bad movie really I suppose it had a lot to live up to with Casino Royale being such a big hit and it must have been hard to try and round off one storyline in the midst of another. So all I ask is you keep an open mind when watching this and please don't give this movie a bad review if you have never seen Casino Royale.
