If "Casino Royale" was Bond’s "Batman Begins," then "Quantum" could have been his "Dark Knight." Instead, it’s a rushed, almost soulless affair. The shaky-cam action scenes feel like Bourne’s leftovers, and Bond should never copy from a franchise that it had a hand in inspiring.
007’s revenge storyline takes a backseat to a supporting character’s this time around, with our favorite spy failing to drive the narrative of his own movie — he’s just there to shoot and punch and blow stuff up before moving on to the next scene as if previous ones didn’t really matter. More like "Quantum of Disappointment."
