Quantum of Solace is the latest flick from the James Bond Franchise.
Daniel Craig does certainly stand out from other actors who have portrayed the classic super spy over the years. His panache, cold blue eyes and personality stand out. Coupled with hand to hand combat, chasing criminals over rooptops sans the usual gadgets is what made Casino Royale (prequel) stand out. They could have really give the Bourne franchise a run for their movie. To some extent in the last part they achieved this.
But in Quantum of Solace they went overboard . To make matter worse, the movie lacks any story but has the usual hero sets out the avenge the death of loved ones, two timing villians etc .(very common in 90s' Bollywood movies) . This is where the movie falls flat and fails to impress.
The usual Bond fan expects 4 things ... Gadgets, Cars, Larger than Life villians and most importantly hot babes!
Unfortunately coupled with a bad bollywold style story lime and total lack of the above, means that almost everyone is disappointed.
Daniel Craig does anything but act. He runs, chases villains, drives bikes, cars, flies planes, run agains, chases villains again and so on.
Also You need to have seen the Casino Royale to get any link of what is going on.
The action sequences are good but not good enough to carry the film through.
Overall. i would say this movie is watchable only if you have nothing else to do, otherwise do yourself a favor and go see the Bourne Series or even the Transporter ones.
