not as good as Casino Royale, but still an excellent film

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2008)

After coming out of the cinema after seeing Quantum of Solace, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Admittedly both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace are not strictly "bond films" but i believe they have moved on for the better.
The action sequences in Quantum of Solace are fantastic, as is Daniel Craig. In this film bond is even colder and more ruthless, however it works really well for this storyline. It also includes a stronger plot them most bond films, however it is sometimes diluted by all of the action scenes, but thats being picky. A mention must go to Mathieu Amalric as the villain Dominic Greene, who plays his smarmy yet sophisticated role off to perfection. The start of his Hollywood career i think.
But on the downside, it did lack something that Casino Royale had, yet i cant quite put my finger on it. Was it because there was no le Chiffre (who Mads Mikkelson played brilliantly)or was bond to cold? or was it just because Casino Royale was just the start of something different, i cannot quite tell.
All in all not as good as Casino Royale, but still one of the better bond films. Worth seeing.
