One and Only Quantum of Solace (James Bond) review thread!
OK, the movie's nearly here (and out in some countries) -- let's focus on reviews and your views in this new thread rather than the one that started in 2007!
(Previous thread on pre-release info)
Can't wait to see this myself, although I've heard a few mixed reviews....

I hadn't been tracking the tomato meter on this, but glad the reviews are pretty positive. I won't get to see this til next Thursday, but at least it's free for work

"Casino Royale" is one of my most viewed movies of the past few years and i can't wait for this one. i wish there was a little more girth to the running time, but beggars can't be choosers.

I've seen it three times now(the second two only because I was with friends who didn't.)
It's a solid 7/10 film. I hope this is the end of this whole "Dark James Bond re-imagining" phase, though.
Just because your film is "dark" doesn't mean it's better.
I am ready to see more of the "James Bond" back in James Bond.

Ebert gave it a 2 out of 4 (he gave Casino Royale a 4 out of 4), it's apparently the first negative bond review since Living Daylights.

I really enjoyed it. The negative reviews be damned. And I'm glad that
Bond was not superhuman (as an earlier review in the other thread suggested) and actually took a pounding in this movie while giving as good as he got.
I did like the openning title sequence overall but the transition to it was very sloppy. The same with the gunbarrel sequence which felt like a complete afterthought. Other than that, I'd gladly place this next to my copy of Casino Royale.
And how I adore Olga Kurylenko!

Would it better if it was treated as say...an Action film cuz that's what it feels like. I mean it's a Bond film but from the reviews it sounds like a good action film, not a good Bond film. Does that make any sense?
