Far better then what people make it out to be

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2019)

I have only seen this film once all the way through, roughly a week ago. Beforehand I had seen segments but I had never sat down to watch the entire thing. So it's best to take my opinion with a grain of salt as it may change over time.
I was always told that Quantum of Solace was the weakest of the modern "Daniel Craig" James Bond movies, however those people could never quite tell me what they disliked about it. After seeing it for myself it's quite easy to pick out it's flaws. But Quantum had a certain direction to it which really gripped and entertained me on a similar or even higher level than Skyfall. I really do not think that this film gets the respect it deserves. The action, especially the opening, was thrilling and I didn't really notice any pacing issues.
The story following from Casino Royale was satisfyingly wrapped up as well although I must say that the ending seemed a bit out of place. If the film just had a slightly stronger villain and a more streamlined plot I believe Quantum would be a lot more beloved among James Bond fans.
I would watch it above Spectre any day.
