A weird motivation for a Bond villain, but it's never the endgame that matters, it's the performance of the actor that really counts. I think it's a combination of lackluster performances and writing.īond goes on a so called 'killing spree' throughout the film, or rather everyone that comes close to him dies as he goes after Dominic Greene, the leader of a mysterious organization set to eliminate Bolivia's water supply. I think that was my main issue with this film, it's really Craig and everyone else here. I'm not saying it would be good if it were longer but I do think we would care more about the supporting characters. Solace is nearly 40 minutes shorter than the other Craig films which smells like late game editing to me. The difference is The Living Daylights is far more exciting and better paced than Quantom. In both films Bond goes borderline Rogue from MI6 due to a loss of a loved one. But I did remember how much it shares with The Living Daylights of 20 years prior.

I found it crazy how much I didn't remember about this film. But I think the film gets a worse rap than it should because it's in between Casino Royale and Skyfall. By no means is this a great film, in fact, it's surprisingly uneventful. This time Bond is out for revenge against the people who killed his one love, Vesper. In between two of the greatest Bond films of all time, Quantom of Solace returns back to the fomula of several Bond films except for the fact that the story line pretty much carries over from Casino Royale.
