Movie Review: Quantum of Solace
Nov. 18th, 2008 04:23 pmI was having a tough time writing the review I wanted for this movie, so I decided to cut out the long blocks of text that just weren’t working and went with what I know.
QUANTUM OF SOLACE: NUTSHELL EDITION
( SPOILERS )
That pretty much sums up my feelings, perhaps a little more negatively than I’d like, so I’d just like to add a few more points.
1. If you haven’t seen Casino Royale since it came out, you might want to watch it again, since Quantum of Solace follows immediately after.
2. The opera scene is a great set-piece, and I’m not just saying that because Daniel Craig is in a tuxedo.
3. The action is amazing, even if it is of the bone crushing, wince-in-your-seat kind. It is, however, cut so each shot is about two seconds long, so if you’re prone to vertigo, you might not want to watch this on a big screen.
