Quantum Of Solace

James Bond. Spy, lover, drinker, killer. Who wouldn't want to be him? Well, maybe not Daniel Craig's Bond, who is constantly beaten up, angry, brooding, drinking, and killing. So some admirable traits, but not the happiest guy. In Quantum of Solace, Bond is picking up where 2006 Casino Royale left off, and he is furious. Though the film looks great, and the performances by Craig and Dame Judi Dench are solid, the script pales in comparison to the previous Bond effort, and new-on-the-action-scene director Marc Forster has many a thing to learn when directing action scenes. He is a drama guy, not an action guy, but I'm sure he can grow into one. In the end, this Bond flick was missing somthing, though what I can't exactly pin down. I hope the next film furthers the story, but smooths out the wrinkles. Still a worthy watch.
