Saw Quantum of Solace last night. It wasn't as bad as it was played up to be. The theme didn't fit it at all, but even that wasn't awful. I did agree with the Bourne criticism however. It seemed that the new director saw the Bourne...getting ahead.
It seemed that the director was told keep up the rugged, hard direction of Casino Royale. Keep Bond moving and never let him take a breath. So the newbie went out and rented all of the Bourne movies - rugged, hard, non-stop action these days means a close camera and the hero jumping from one building ledge to another. So that's what's David Craig's Bond was forced to endure. A tedious relay that cut too much to the quick. And whenever something cool happens, you won't see it until it's over.
Also, what in the hell is the Quantum of Solace? Is it some malevolent land-grabbing organization? Is it a bank f
or bad guys? Is it one of those 'world-running-fraternity' clubs? No idea. Also, it was too short. Or at least it seemed that way. I didn't get enough of Bond; I got too much of his blurred form and piercing, haunted blue eyes. He is a little tank. Hopefully, they move in the fun direction with the next few movies, but keep Craig on the wheel.
