Something Cool, But Nothing Like Casino Royale

Rating: 6/10 (16 November 2008)

Let's get this out in the open, Casino Royale was a mind-blowing addition to the Bond franchise and could possibly be in the top 5 best Bond films. However, with the follow up Quantum of Solace, it comes no where near as close as Casino Royale.
The plot, which in my opinion is very confusing, did not follow any true Bond movie. It was mainly just action, a gunshot here and there, death, and 2 minutes of talking. Craig didn't seem like he was the same Bond like the last film, where he was a sophisticated agent on the edge. In Quantum, he was just on the edge.
The action scenes were amazingly well done, something new that has never been brought to the table, but it somewhat lacked the originality that Royale had. Judi Dench is good in the film, so is Craig, but as said before, it feels like he isn't all there.
The verdict is that it's a good film, fun to watch, great action. But it's lack in plot and character development is what ultimately brings this Bond movie down.
PS- The opening song choice was incredibly terrible! It did not match the feel of the movie and made my ears bleed a little bit...
