Review of Quantum of Solace (2008) by Alex A — 15 Mar 2014

One word: disappointing. Me being a Bond buff, I went into this movie with high expectations. I expected all the ingredients that make a good bond film: The funny one liners, the action, Bond's charm with women, you know, all that a 007 movie should have.

This film had about half of that. It just didn't feel like a bond movie, at all. It was more like a grade B Jason Bourne movie with a little bit of Bond formula thrown into the mix. On top of that, the villain Dominic Greene was entirely forgettable.

That being said, the film itself is at least watchable and indeed well made. But is it any good? No.
