In Reply to: "Quantum of Solace:" fantastic ride, better than Craig's first Bond film. posted by tinear on July 20, 2012 at 16:43:53:
... really is a superb sequel, a companion to Craig's Casino Royal that picks up just where Casino leaves off.
Though QoS lost something for me in the desert scenes, it redeemed itself valiantly at the end in a perfectly understated way.
A film that reveals the causations of human foibles that snowball to create terror and leave destruction in their wake - quite profound for a Bond film - imo.
For me, the two films almost weigh in as much as Goldfinger, Thunderball and On Her Majesty's Secret Service, yet stand on their own two legs - quite an accomplishment for a restart.
