Yeah, I gave it away in the opening, but come on, Quantum of Solace is not only the worst title in Bond film history it is the absolute worst film title that I can think of. What does it mean? Well, the title apparently refers to that last spark of love or compassion one may have for another human being. The title comes from an Ian Fleming short story surrounding a dinner party of some sort, a story in which Bond is apparently inconsequential. If you are like me this all pretty much just adds to the stupidity of the title.
I understand they are continuing Bond’s downfall into an uncompassionate womanizer as his compassion and love is squashed, but silly and assumingly clever titles aren’t necessary. Especially when that title is Quantum of Solace. The best explanation of the title I could find came from here, but when you have to look for an explanation aren’t you pretty much declaring the title a failure?
So there it is, that’s my list. What did I forget? What do you disagree with? Sound off below.
