So have anyone seen Quantum of Solace yet? Is it any good? I have heard it lacks soul and character development, and relies too heavily on action scenes. Is that right? It sould like a disappointment...

I went to the premiere on Friday... I think it's a good movie but Casino Royale was better. I rather like the new Bond style, which is more serious and gritty and with less tongue-in-cheek. There's less of the traditional Bond "style" this time around, though he does make a few of his typical remarks. I really liked how M was much better used in this movie.
During some of the action scenes (yes, a lot of them), I wasn't quite fond of the direction, they change camera angles and that stuff really fast, it was IMO sometimes more annoying than classy. My second complaint would be that Greene, this movie's villain, isn't exactly memorable. He's okay but he just isn't particulalry evil/creepy/otherwise memorable.
And hey, remember some of the sillier old movies like Moonraker, you won't get more action-oriented than that

The title is a real Bond title though.

Plotwise it had a few holes and loose ends but otherwise I think it'd pass the Fleming test. Cinematically it was stronger than Casino Royale.
The most irritating thing about QoS is the way that its commercial partners are milking it to death

"Modicum of Solace" smartass.Originally posted by -Jrabbit
"Quantum of Modicum"??
In other words solace is something difficult to quantify so a more general term than "quantum" makes a tad more sense.
It's not like you have 2.8 solace units and I have 9.3 solace units.Comment
