Late to the party
Dec. 6th, 2008 12:38 amWe went to see Quantum of Solace. It was.....alright.
The worldbuilding was nice (as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laserboy pointed out) - but the actual plot felt like it was on fast-forward, covering two movies worth of infodump in one movie, without any depth or real characterisation.
A lack of depth and characterisation would not, of course, have been a problem with any previous Bond movie, but this one seemed to be priding itself on being more 'real' - but sadly fell short of the Bourne movies in that respect, leaving it falling somewhat uncomfortably between two stools.
Not bad, by any means, but it felt like it could have done with someone taking a step back and looking at it from a distance, to make sure it actually worked as a movie, and not just as a series of scenes that followed a plot.
