    James Bond in Quantum of Solace

    Although there’s still almost a month to go until Quantum of Solace is released on home video around the world, DVD Talk has gotten their hands on a DVD-R screener copy courtesy of MGM and Fox Home Entertainment and have posted the review online.

    Although the video and audio categories are omitted due to the disk being a screener copy, the 22nd James Bond film received an overall advice score of ‘Recommended’.

    Film content and replay values were ranked highly, but unfortunately the special features for this two-disc special edition only scored two out of five stars. Reviewer Nick Hartel notes: ‘This stuff might interest some, but there’s no real substance and the replay value of the extras are nil. It seems that a double dip of this film is almost a given, considering the lack of substantial extras.’
