Not as good as Casino Royale BUT ..

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2008)

Quantum of Solace was nowhere near as good as Casino Royale but I'd have been surprised if it had been, as CR was so hard to live up to. QoS was full of all the usual stuff, high speed action, great actors (Judi Dench is amazing!, fabulous scenery, beautiful girls,etc, but there was undoubtedly a feeling that something was missing. Maybe it's because this film continued on from where Casino Royale left off, therefore there had to a sombre note. I wouldn't write this film off, I just think it needs to be watched a few times to thoroughly absorb it. I've given the film an 8 out of 10 and look forward to getting my own copy when it comes out on DVD.
