My dad went to see Quantum of Solace on Friday. I wasn't expecting him to like it (he went because his mate wanted to); he hasn't liked a Bond film since Sean Connery gave up, and even then we'll be talking about 1960s Bond rather than Never Say Never Again.
My suspicions were correct. He spent the first 10 minutes trying to work out what was going on (apparently seeing Casino Royale recently would help), and the rest of the time he was just a bit bored. "It doesn't have much of a plot, and how come he can take on 4 bodyguards in a lift and win with ease, yet he has trouble just after with one person, who isn't quite as brawny" (I suggested he might be tired after all the business in the lift".
Bottom line is he just doesn't think Daniel Craig is a very good actor. However, he was most impressed with Judi Dench and Tim Piggot Smith, so all was not lost.
I'm hoping he sees something he likes soon.
