The newest James Bond feature film and the second movie to star Daniel Craig, Quantum of Solace (2008) did not garner as many rave revues as Casino Royale. But I think it continued to add to the Bond mythos, and accentuate why Craig was a great choice to play Bond.
One of the things that started in Casino and continued in Quantum is the dis-use of gadgets. This Bond is skilled at driving, fighting and many other things, but he does not rely on gadgets that can do ridiculous things, and I like that. He is tougher and moodier than some Bonds before him, and maybe not quite as refined--- he is just learning how he likes his martinis. But after all, he is a killer.
Quantum is pulse pounding action. I watched it on my new BluRay, and from the opening car chase and foot chase scenes, which shook the couch, I was exhausted! I think some critics did not like it because it has too much action, but that was OK to me...not all the films need to have the brooding of Casino, and this film continued to create Bond, to evolve him from Casino to this. And continued to show that Bond does not trust anyone, and is a force and a law unto himself.
Quantum was good, and it was fun. the chase scenes were amazingly choreographed, and as usual, the women were HOT! Daniel Craig can stay as Bond as long as he wants as far as I am concerned.
