underrated bond film

Rating: 10/10 (18 April 2014)

This very entertaining sequel to the popular Casino Royale has received a lot of critique and it must be said that this critique is not deserved.
QOS can be seen as a direct sequel to casino royale. And this is probable one of the reasons that this movie has been received rather negatively. Casino royale was a near perfect film while QOS is one of the better bond films (but not films in general). After CR the expectations have been to high for this rather small sequel. Nevertheless QOS is an entertaining movie with a mediocre to good villain.
The editing of the movie has a rather quick pace, this together with some of the action scenes make the movie a rather Jason Bourne - James bond cross-over. If you can look past this fact you'll find the story to be quite good. More important the action scenes feel more bond than some of the scenes in CR. This together with some subtle references to previous bond movies (Dr. No, goldfinger and The spy who loved me) mixed with the incredible soundtrack of David arnold make this a worthy successor to CR and a great Bond movie.
