James Bond? More like James Bland!
The newest James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, starts with a high-intensity car chase only to be let down eventually by low-intensity Bond babes. Good locations and great cinematography don’t make up for a weak script with hardly any smart-ass dialogues typical of a Bond movie. A lack of chemistry between Bond & his women also manages to bring down the movie after some great action scenes.
Daniel Craig though, continues to remain a good choice for Bond with a decent performance. Viewers can see his transformation from a rugged and raw personality with a heart (as in Casino Royale) into an icy-cold MI6 agent who still doesn’t have his licence to kill.
The movie does have its moments, primarily with a well choreographed opera sequence. The lack of gadgets makes you wonder if it’s still a Bond movie you’re watching though.
Overall, a decent flick, but one that fails to live up to the Bond franchise.
Rating: 2 stars out of 5.
