Much better the second time around

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2009)

With great anticipation my wife and I saw Quantum of Solace in theatres. At the time is certainly did not live up to Casino Royale, its most excellent predecessor.
Having now had the time to give it a second viewing I can say I was wrong with my initial impression. There are so many plot details I missed in the the finely filmed action sequences. My focus was distracted.
Although not the best Bond films it does rank as one of the best.
The acting is very good. Dialogue is not wasted. Every line advances the plot. Think of it as the ugly cousin of Casino Royale that gets more attractive with age.
Action is hard hitting and edited sharply.
Despite leaving many questions unanswered because of edits we are left to want to know more of QUANTUM, Mr. White, Vesper's ex-boyfriend and Bond's future.
Worth a second look.
