Default Quantum of Solace

No dull moments, fight scenes ala bourne movies(maybe too much like it?), hot girls, and cool car chase in the beginning between aston martin and alfa romeo. Better than Casino Royale imo.

some action sequences were a little overedited, and the plane scene made no sense to me, but awesome overall. the title sequence/song is awesome

It was visually a little too choppy. I thought I was gonna really like it, but I came out disappointed. Casino Royale kicked this one's ass.

lack of story or plot...lots of action and i love seeing daniel craig do his steve mcqueen impersonation....great looking babes, cool car chases, airplane foo, boats afloat with action, everything worth blowing up gets blown up....but no story...and James Bond being concerned with feelings and retrobution....a new twist?

and what the hell is quantum of solice, a little bit of comfort? where is that in the story? and M is getting a bit long in the tooth to be M, although judy is a fine actress...bring michael gambon into the fold!

all in all, i have more gadgets on my iphone and digital watch...and my blue tooth sat nav car....so he has a camera phone? we need a plot to showcase all this "acting and action".

It was pretty good, but i agree %100... the action scenes where way over edited, ESP the car chase. Give me one good camera angle, zoom out and lets just watch in aston tear it up.

I agree with all the great action it was providing. I thought it was just me about the story being a little dull, but I blamed that on me not seeing the first one(I ended up watching the Casino Royale the next day). Even after that, the story was still a little dull and felt like they had useless fill-ins, but I guess all the action scenes still made it a pretty good movie to watch.

just got back, all in all it was one of the better movies I have seen lately, but I must say, I REALLY like Casino Royale, and this one fell just a tad short

Casino Royale still stands as my favorite Bond movie at the moment. QOS was okay, but like ya'll said, it's great in action but lacks a good plot.
