I saw Quantum of Solace last Friday. I only bothered to figure out what the title meant about half an hour before watching it. It was silly but it was good.
Jason observed that there is less gadgetry in the new Bond films. This review observes a slightly more profound change:
The fact that [the Bond girl] pays a ghoulish and fatal price for her association suggests a shift in the franchise's moral universe. "Everything and everyone you touch dies, Mr. Bond," taunts an adversary near the film's climax. Where bullets miss, we see this line hit.
