Keeping in line with the earlier 007 Words Only Reviews...

Sum up Quantum of Solace in 007 words or less. Feel free to add in as many 007 Words Or Less reviews as you wish. The more the better!

Examples:

Quantum is solid, but it's no Royale
Best Bond film for Craig
A Quantum of nonsense
Great opening, good characters, bad editing

Was there ever a film more misunderstood?

Overshadowed, misunderstood, still far above average Bond.

1. Highly overrated, poorly edited, with un-Bondian moments.

2. The less said about Elvis, the better.

3. Desecration of Mathis--worst scene in series.

4. Museum, Slate, opera, Russia scenes work best.

5. Bond's hunts Quantum, ultimately finds his solace.

6. Quantum's quorum halted before fat lady sings.

7. Quantum quarry quickly quashed, Bond quits quest.

Film is better than many thinks, really.

The extras completely sucked on this DVD.

It's funny because everyone's doing exactly seven. You know you can do under everyone? I guess it's more clever being able to make it exactly 7 though.

Not for the average cinema goer: intelligence required!

Minor classic, but a little too fast.
