Mark Kermode – Quantum Of Solace

Have not included one of the good doctor's rants for a while so time to dust him off again, here he is weighing into the new Bond film describing eloquently why it failed to move him and almost had him nodding off.

Not as scathing as his contempt for any of the Pirates Of The Caribbean series, he identifies the main faults of the movie while going on to say that it will rake in loads of cash at the box office.

His best line comes when he seeks to illustrate his point that you do not feel any pain from the action sequences - "like watching teletubbies bouncing around in a padded cell".

Quantum of Solace is entertaining at least... a lot of high quality visuals, but the movie as a whole could stand to lose six or seven fewer chase scenes

Patrick, That is quite a few for a movie that only clocks in at 106 mins - think that I will catch it on DVD.
