Quantum of Solace

Did anyone see Quantum of Solace?

Is it true it isn't nearly as good as Casino Royale?

I saw it and enjoyed it. It feels more like an extension of Casino Royale. The story starts about 1 hour after Casino Royale ended. The action for Quantum felt too claustrophobic at times. The camera was too close for some of the fighting. I wished that the director had zoomed out the camera a couple of feet on those scenes. But overall a fun watch.

Well, it sounds like Daniel Craig hit a sophomore jinx with his second Bond. Did you like Casino Royale?

I thought Royale was one of the best Bond films in recent memory, but still haven't seen Solace -- the reviews have kept me from running out to see it.

Yes I liked Casino Royale as well. Royale was definitely the more accomplished of the two movies, but I still think Quantum is a good watch.

Quantum of Solace was a return to the more classic Bond. They started with a car chase and the bad guy was part of a big multinational corporation similar to the older Bond films. They also brought back some older Bond things like the Walther PPK and a female agent sent by MI-6 headquarters who he takes advantage of. Casino Royale was very good too, but it was very much like Oh Her Majesty's Secret Service where Bond falls in love with a girl and marries her (except this time, unlike On Her Majesty's Secret Service, she dies before they can get around to a marriage). Casino Royale also had aspects of Never Say Never Again (which wasn't a true Bond movie) because the plot was heavily based on a literal game. Quantum was the first true Bond sequel but I thought it turned out very well. The theme song was very interesting in my opinion. I thought it was going to be horrific after I heard that Jack White was working on it (no offense to Jack White, I actually like some White Stripes songs but I wasn't sure about a Bond theme song), but after hearing just the beginning of it in the theater, it gave me chills. I didn't like the typical Jack White little riffs later on in the song while Alicia Keys is singing but overall it turned out much better than I would have imagined. Overall I think Quantum was a great movie.

Finally saw Quantum of Solace...

Thought it was just "okay". The plot didn't seem very well defined and confusing at times. Liked Casino Royale much better.

awesome actions, but thin for the story.

Hi,

The previous Bond is the perfect James Bond..
