Quantum Of Solace Review

Overall Rating

Well, I would agree with the majority of the wise critics in this forum - and reassuringly I find that most of most points have already been raised (I was worried I had become a Grumpy Old Man for a second!).
Q.O.S really does not deliver on a number of classic Bond fronts; savvy script / overly exaggerated but equally believable world domination plot (clearly explained) / complex evil oozing villian / Gadget fuelled fun to mention but a few.
That said the areas it will satisfy are the typically stoic Bond (Craig is as wooden as Moore but not in a bad way), great action scenes (although I felt the concentration of these made it feel more like a typical Jason Statham film...at least you know what your getting with them), the other area is undoubtedly the top eye candy (for both boys and girls...apparently!).
In short summary I would reccommend the film but as mentioned by others in this forum, expect to be slight confused (you will walk away and think "I need to see it again on DVD"), slightly unconvinced that the film tops Casino Royale, slightly numbed by the non-stop action and slightly bemused as to why you were taken in by all the hype once again.
Happy watching...Neil.
