Best to catch up with Casino Royale first.

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2008)

A piece of advice: Before watching Quantum of Solace watch Casino Royal again if you can, It'll make for a better experience.
I hadn't watched Craigs first stab at bond for at least a year but wish I had done because this film jumps straight into the thick of things with an awesome car chase to the beautiful town of Siena with a load of previous plot detail on board and rather than spending a few minutes trying to fill yourself in you can just enjoy the ride.
Must say though that this is a great movie, Daniel Craig is the master when it comes to Bond, he fits the role perfectly and his face can tell a thousand tales. The film is faster paced and more Bourne like than casino and doesn't suffer for it with some great cinematography and sound editing pulling you write into the action, with a real globe trot of action sequences, my favourite of which is at an amazing opera house in Austria. The cast does a good job though Gemma Atterton is really just a token bond girl but i guess it was set up that way.
Marc Fosters done a worthy job on this movie, it left me buzzing a lot more than Indy 4 did after leaving the theatre and had it given me a greater emotional tug with it's story like The Dark Knight did rather than being a lean Cray bang wallop movie it would be the action movie of the year no doubt, Bourne 4 needs to pull it's socks right up because i can't for 007's return.
