Quantum of Solace

[lrankine]

I believe you "nay-sayers" are missing the entire point of CR and QoS. The producers have finally gone back to what Bond (the character) was always meant to be, at least how Ian Flemming portrayed him in the novels. And to you nitpickers out there I have in fact read QoS and know that the only thing the film and the short story share is the title. Although I would submit that their is a common underlying theme about cruelty and redemption between the story and the film but I digress. The entire film series should also be looked at in context with the times they were produced. The thing you are missing (or ignoring, IMHO) is that CR and QoS are Bond at the beginning of his 00 career. Can anyone truely say they are were better at the beginning of their career? I think not. Ahhh, I've said much more than I intended.
