Quantum of Solace is NOT a good film. I believe that Marc Forster was the wrong choice for this Bond film. What this film needed was an action director like Martin Campbell, John Woo, or the best choice right now, Christopher Nolan.

Unlike most James Bond films, Quantum is the direct continuation of Casino Royale. They should've just titled this "Casino Royale II" because there's literally no beginning to the story. This film is like the next episode of a two episode series. So why did I dislike Quantum of Solace?

The major problem for this film is the storyline and the arc of its characters. Throughout the film, Bond has only one mission: to find out who killed Vesper (Eva Green in Casino Royale) and why. At the end of the film, you still don't know who killed her and why they chose her. Bond never has a character arc throughout the film, he basically just kills lead after lead until the final battle where there's explosion after explosion of ultimately nothing. It almost seemed as if Bond was invincible. There's literally no story contained in this film.

Another problem I found with the story was the addition of Camille (Olga Kurylenko). Her story isn't even connected with the organization that Bond is trying to reveal. I think it would be better for her to be written out of the script.

The last major problem of this film and it's the true reason why I really dislike Quantum of Solace: the action. Every Bond film has action and so does this but did it require the film to contain SEVEN action sequences trying to one up the previous one? Not only were some of the action sequences direct rip-offs from the Bourne Trilogy but also shot and edited in the same way. Casino Royale's action sequences had a sense of space where you can see where each character is but in Quantum you couldn't even pinpoint what the hell was going on. Every action scene was cut to fucking hell and because there were so many it began to get boring.

It's sad that the most recent Bond has to rely on quick cut editing instead cinematography and choreography to have a sense of energy throughout its' action scenes.

Quantum is a disappointment. A major disappointment.
