Quantum of Solace is one of the most divisive movies in the James Bond franchise. The movie was intended to be a direct sequel to 2006’s Casino Royale, which successfully launched Daniel Craig as the new 007, but in a rush to get it into theaters within two years of that movie, the budget ballooned to make it the costliest film in the series up to that point. It didn’t help that it was filmed in the middle of a writer’s strike (history repeats itself) and had a director in Marc Forster that had never made a film of this scale before. When it came out, the short length (106 minutes) and Bourne-style action scenes were criticized, with many saying the film was a mind-numbing mess. Plus, there was a wimpy villain, a Bond girl that had no romantic relationship with 007 and a theme song people mostly hated. What went wrong? We’ll dig into it in this episode of WTF Happened to this Movie, which is written and narrated by Mathew Plale, and edited by Cesar Gabriel.
