Movie Review: Quantum of Solace

I am such a procrastinator. Four days have passed since I saw the special screening of the latest James Bond thriller Quantum of Solace, courtesy of GoMobile, and I have yet to blog about it.

And like any regular human, I have forgotten most of what I wanted to write about. However, a couple of things stuck in my mind.

One, Quantum of Solace is so closely connected to Royale Casino that for those who missed Royale Casino, it might be a little hard to follow the storyline. 

The movie literally picked up the story from Royale Casino, where Bond captured Mr. White and stuffed him in his boot. So for those who didn't watch Royale Casino, it's advisable to watch that first. Otherwise, you would be wondering who Vesper, Mathis or Felix are.

Two, there're no Bond gadgets or toys. I hope the producers don't plan to do away with those toys. A Bond movie is not complete without them.
