Some days ago I went to see “Quantum of Solace” in the cinema. This is the continuation of the James Bond agent 007 series.
It ended up being a pretty good action film, with car chases, boat and airlane fights, shootings, and explosions, etc. But, on the other hand, it has the least to do with James Bond series from all the episodes that I ever saw. Bond movies always had plenty of style, spy gadgets, sexy ladies, and English accent. In the one, most are either totally absent or overminimized.
However I still enjoyed the action and all the special effects – well suited for the big screen. I’ll give it an overall 6 out of 10.
Sorry but Im going to be blunt with this one. Bond usually gets:
– The bond girl
– The bond girl (clothes off version)
– The bond girl (in bed)
– A superb car
– Super gadgets
– No emotional crap
In QoS he had nothing of the above. All emotional , heart broken but shy to show , no car , just a suit that never gets dirty. They have the character right (a young Sean Connery) but the scenario is SOOO off. Not to mention the cinematics weren’t perfect!

Yup, that’s pretty much what I am saying too. :)
