Paul’s quick capsule review of two films he finally got to see over the weekend:

Hancock is alright.

Quantum Of Solace is rubbish.

Honestly, I was shocked at how little I enjoyed QOS.  I thoroughly enjoyed the new direction Casino Royale took Bond to, and was looking forward to another step in the right direction, but this seemed to be a movie utterly devoid of direction, with poorly directed action set pieces, no tangible threat from the villain, and Daniel Craig taking a step away from Bourne-esque stoicism towards emotionless dullard.  I know at least one reader who will vehemently disagree with me, but I stand my ground.

On the other hand, Hancock, which is actually far less plausable in its plot twists is Hancock, which nonetheless manages to remain fun and entertaining, with Will Smith proving once again that he can carry a film through sheer weight of personality.

I was going to see Wall-E too, but didn’t get around to it, so I didn’t.
