Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond movie


My wife's number one choice is still action movie, so, primarily her in mind, today we watched the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.
To be honest James Bond was never my number one action movie favorite, but with the current Bond, Daniel Craig I like it rather less. I could not finish Casino Royale, even though I tried 2 times. Quantum of Solace was better, I could watch it to the end, if that means something as an indicator.
The story was not really clear in most place, but for sure there was some action, namely lots of chasing. I wonder if the director left out any; they chased running, on the top of houses, by car, by boat, by airplane, above ground, underground...
I could see they really tried, maybe not their fault that it was not life-like for me but not that entertaining. I am sure Mr.Craig also try hard to be Bond, and succeed more than the previous sequence, but still some time he looks more the bad guy than the good.
Overall, it is ok, not hit my top list for sure, but one time alright to watch. The next might be fine. Or so I hope.

I have never seen any Bond movie from start to end. That's not my taste in fact ;)
My favorite action movie is Terminator 2, I love its background music and who hates Arnold? :)
I love to see science fiction movies like Jurassic Park, Matrix series etc...
I don't know what Terminator 2 is called, Action movie or Science Fiction one???
Ohh, forgot to mention that Die Hard series is my love in Action movies.
