"Warning to avoid spoilers go to the bottom of this post and read what I rated the film"
Two years ago we were treated to a great 5 star worthy film called "Casino Royale" the latest movie in the James Bond franchise. Casino Royale was just great; it had great story, great action and great editing. Quantum of Solace is the direct sequel to this film and does it live up to it. I have to say....no. It was an inferior film. This film is about James Bond going to avenge his lover in Casino Royale. He soon learns that the it was done by a huge environmental organization ( she must have littered). This results in countless action scenes, these scene are not a cool as the ones in Casino Royale but they're still pretty cool.
Now let's talk about what are the weaknesses of this film. The story in this film is not even as good as the one of its predecessor which was expected. But I didn't expect the parts of unoriginality in this film. The most obvious one is when Bond discovers one of his Bond Girls laid dead across the bed covered in oil; like we never seen a bond girl dead across a bed being drenched in a valuable resource (If you don't know what I mean then watch Goldfinger). The less obvious one was when Bond had a bad guy on the edge of a building and the bad guy attacks bond but ends up falling off. That was already done in "The Spy Who Loved Me". Now another thing that bothered me was the fact that Bond went to so many different places. In the first ten minutes he went to about 6 places. That wouldn't of bothered me except it made the story just tear itself into pieces. The movie ends as expected where Bond defeats the bad guy and saves the day, After he does this he does his famous scene where you're looking down a barrel of a gun and Bond comes in and shoots at you and then blood pours down from the screen. When this happened I couldn't help but to think "you're two hours late moron".
Even though the film had it share of problems it was still satisfying and the editing was still great. Overall this film is just an brainless action Bond film with not much story to it, but because it was made in the same style as Casino Royale it is better then most of the other brainless action Bond Films. So I give it:
2 out of 5 stars
