Not As Good As Casino Royale, but it IS Bond

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2008)

Lots of people are saying Quantom Of Solace should not be counted as a James Bond film and is more like the Matt Damon trilogy (In a couple of years Quadrilogy). Admittedly while this film is very different to the bonds we have seen in Bonds 46 year movie life this is still Bond and a good one at that.
Daniel Craig returns again in this direct sequel to Casino Royale that I have heard takes place about 20 minutes after the first one. When watching the start car chase scene I must admit the car chase scene was much like a Bourne scene, but luckily the shaking of the camera ended after that scene.
As for the performances of all the actors James Bond is again awesome as James Bond and he really plays him with a confidence not seen since the days of Sean Connery, Judi French also plays her role well as M who tries and fails to stop Bond from wrecking everything in his path in this film. As for the new Bond girl it was a major letdown compared to the Bond Girl in the first one but she still played her part well and did all she needed.
For the storyline everyone must of thought when they found out about it that it was very different from the other 21 James Bond films where, and I think that it was an experiment that needed trying. If they did not try to shake up the Bond films at least a little it would get repetitive. And they have been doing this since Dr. No in 1962 they changed it up a little so it would not boring and while this is a bigger jump I will reinstate my previous comment and say it needed to be done.
My only complaint for the movie (And it is not a big deal) is the red aired agent that appeared for like 3 minutes and did not really have much to do with the plot except at one stage she trips the bad guy (Not in an action scene) and sleeps with Bond.
Overall, this is another good edition to the Bond series and I cant wait to see what they come up with for Bond 23 which is meant to come out 2010. I rate this film 73% for being very enjoyable.
