Quantum of Solace

So, watched Quantum of Solace last night. Yes, I know it has been out for *like* forever, but some of us have been busy.

And it was good, y'know. Enjoyed it. Glad I went to see it. And that is pretty much all I have to say about it. It was hardly and era-defining, genre challenging addition to the series, but was far from being amongst the worst of the series (Diamonds Are Forever and A View to a Kill stand up and take your bow). It was well worth watching.

I'm not going to add to the debate about whether Craig is a good Bond or not, or whether the series has moved in the right direction. What I will observe is this - if you want your Bond films to reflect the source material (the books of Ian Fleming) then Craig, and Timmy Dalton, are for you. If you want to watch more fantastical, cliched yet entertaining nonsense then go take a look at The Spy Who Loved Me or Moonraker. But let's not tear apart individual Bond films; with so many of them now out there, you can really say there is something for everyone.
