Review of Quantum of Solace (2008) by Mimi S — 02 Nov 2012

Grade: C+.

Quantum of Solace isnt as good as its previous film Casino Royale, but Daniel Craig always impresses as Bond. In this Bond film, Bond is after a villain who is helping a Bolivian general to overthrow the government in return for some land. This film focuses more on revenge. I didn't think the story was as interesting or that this film was as memorable as Casino Royale, but it still had some decent moments. The heart stopping action scenes are always terrific and the film always keeps you on your toes. There were good performances from both bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurilenko, however I felt that Bond didn't have as much chemistry with Kurilenko. I thought it was still a decent Bond movie, but not as memorable and up to scratch as Casino Royale.
