C'mon. every one knows this. This is a great movie but not a great bond movie. the movie starts with the real kick a** chase and you are just getting into the grove and then you see the mad man called James Bond burning with vengeance. The story plot is awesome and gigantic proportions as it always is with Bond Movies(Except Casino Royale where it looked like all of it was for few paltry millions;))
I have no doubt that sooner or later the Bond plot will leave this planet and eye for moon or mars. coming back to Quantum of Solace, I am left with the same disappointment as Casino Royale. where is the real BOND.? the one who is cool all the time, has got real wry sense of humor, and girls are part of the mission and not the love of life. it is one character which is every man's fantasy though of all of us live in a different reality. but it feels good to see that character on the screen. NOW it is lost with Daniel Craig. he is good, acutally more than good. physically very appealing and jumps like Jackie Chan and really loves to get dirty with hands and blood. but every other action hero does that. isn't it? I guess this new BOND is more for women than men who wants the man to be in love and the typical Bollywood Drama.(Hey! Don't judge me. I am only talking about movie characters where we want them to be larger than life. much much much larger!)
So from that perspective this movie was yet another disappointment but otherwise it is worth a watch.
The story more or less gets predictable at times and the stubbornness of BOND is still intact.
Bond girl, Olga, is just ok. in short for men, the movie is just ok and for women, they do not have to read what I wrote. just go and watch Mr. Craig!
