This review is brought to you by Sony Ericsson: Yours to Create; Virgin Atlantic: No Ordinary Airline; and Aston Martin: Power, Beauty and Soul.Quantum of Solace bowed Friday in the UK, two weeks before its stateside debut, and promptly rewrote the record books for a Friday box office take. Quite obviously the producers and Daniel Craig have re-energised the franchise with Casino Royale and expectation is high for Bond films once again. Trouble is, this just isn't very good - but then again neither was Casino Royale.
If I wanted to watch a Bourne film I would go and watch a Bourne film. Why the Bond overlords decided audiences would prefer all the humour and fun stripped out of these things? Quantum of Solace is just a tiny bit depressing. Relentless action with barely time to cobble together a plot. Precisely 2 very mild quips from Bond - both of which Craig could have timed better - you almost long for Roger Moore.

We saw this on Saturday at the Chavside. Despite the venue I quite enjoyed it and have a few comments to make about your post:
1. I think you should let the poker thing drop now - Rose hasn't mentioned it for a least a couple of days
2. Films under 100 mins always get my vote - how much time do you need?
3. I liked the invisible car
4. I agree with you about the girls in this one - the ginger was annoying
5. can you please explain to me who the russian guy was at the end?
I thank you
The Russian at the end was the guy who was supposedly responsible for Vesper's betrayal of Bond and subsequent suicide in Casino Royale.
I liked Bond films much better when he was preventing world domination rather than settling personal scores.
