Can Bond 22 rise above its awful name to deliver the goods as effectively as Casino Royale…?

We get M, but no Q; girls, but no gadgets; sophistry, but no sophistication.

If it werent for all the torture and rendition she sanctions and personally oversees in front of our eyes.

The formula for this franchise was struck from a more optimistic view of the world.

But perhaps I am makingQuantum Of Solacesound more innovative and interesting than it actually is.

Perhaps the world is not enough.

But even these raids on the family album cant makeQuantum Of Solaceany damn fun.

But its heartless in the worst sense of the word.

If Eon dont find some courage, Craig will be in space forBond 23.

(just barely)

Quantum Of Solace is on general release from Friday.
