Good, Honest Modern Bond movie

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2008)

After reading several reviews and hearing Roger Moore's comments. I was apprehensive about seeing this film.
But, nothing to fear here. This Bond film is Excellent! The action sequences are great! Some have commented on the aggressive editing, but it is used sparingly and doesn't distract from that which makes bond a Tour de Force.
I thought the plot was very smart and contemporary. The story dealt with real issues of environmental resources and a plausible scenarios. The plot was clean and efficient, with clear motives of character and little relying on obvious error or gaffs. Very refreshing after just watching Moonraker (1979), which makes me wonder why one would ever blow up a perfectly good Space station.
QoS makes several reference to Casino Royal, which I kinda lost me, since the only thing I can remember from CR is the egregiously long poker tournament that made me think I was watching ESPN2. Guess I have to watch it again to see what I was missing.
Honesty, Quantum of Solace is worth seeing in the Theaters.
