Katie and I just watched Quantum of Solace, which was a relatively enjoyable experience.
Perhaps it’s just late and I’m tired, but I’m not sure I got everything. The movie seems to be a series of action sequences separated by bursts of exposition and plot, which makes it a bit hard to actually tell what is truly occurring in the overarching story.
Or am I just dense? I don’t remember Bond movies being this hard to follow, although I don’t think it’s the overall plot so much as the details, which seem ever-so-important in the way the actors say them but don’t seem to actually be important.
What is the Quantum of Solace? Why are all these different groups of people trying to kill James Bond? When did he turn into a hand-to-hand Jason Bourne-esque assassin instead of a gadget driven agent?
I liked it, but I fear I will go to bed tonight a bit confused.
