I wanted to like it.

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 2012)

Quantum of Solace is one of those painfully disappointing movies. I just recently purchased Casino Royale and watched it for the second time in my life, the first time being a while ago. I absolutely loved it, and I wanted to love this movie just as much, but I can tell you that I probably won't be buying this one. I might if it's on sale really cheap or something.
That's sad, because it really could've been as good, or even better, than Casino Royale. Bond gone berserk on a revenge journey against an enormous criminal corporation: sounds incredible, right? Well... it isn't.
The direction was terrible. It was in the style of a Jason Bourne film: super-quick cuts of action that are more hectic than exciting. In fact, this really felt like a Jason Bourne film throughout; not James Bond.
There is definitely some good. The movie is emotionally resonant, and the climax is pretty thrilling; the ending is good, too. It's just not particularly memorable, and not particularly good. I've got to say, I was really disappointed, but hey, at least I've still got Casino Royal.
Now it's time to see Skyfall. Let's restore faith.
