"Gritty Action Sequences"

I sat down to finally watch Quantum of Solace last night whilst battling the last of the Manflu and I'm not entirely sure what happened. Y'see, its those "Gritty Action Sequences". Do they actually make any sense? It's all close ups, zooming cameras and spinning around Matrix style. Cameramen gone wild. God knows what goes on and who's winning - you just know its all gone mental.

...and then you accept it all as you see Daniel Craig walk away.

Are Hollywood that far behind? Didn't we learn that was wrong with Attack? Jesus. I remember seeing that straight after the H-Street Bootleg. Even at the tender age of thirteen, I knew something was very wrong.

It hasn't aged well, either...
