As the majority of people did this weekend, I went to see the new Bond flick. I grew up watching James Bond films, and didn't actually see Casino Royale until about 2 months ago. I thought CR was a very mediocre James Bond film, but a fantastic action movie.
If you've seen CR you should expect nothing less than the same kind of formula for this movie. That formula goes something like this (Over Extended action sequences with minimal results + a not sinister/memorable villain + Daniel Craig).
Quantum of Solace uses this exact same formula as CR, but it does have one thing going for it. Olga Kurylenko. She is one of the most beautiful actresses around today, and isn't too shabby at actually acting. The movie tries to dazzle audiences with exotic locations and giant stunts, but fails to come up with a plot worth watching.
I'm okay with Daniel Craig playing Bond now. I used to have problems with it, but he's proved that he can handle the role to me. I'm actually very excited about Bond 23 now, since it won't be a direct sequel, and I think it has the potential to be one of the best Bond films ever.

I can't want to see QS! CR was one of my favorite JB films. Mainly because Evan Green is one of my favorite actresses! But I think Daniel Craig makes a perfect JB.
I liked it, but you're right.. the villain wasn't very memorable. I didn't really hate the villain enough, which is something that I think can kill a movie.
Daniel Craig is a great Bond. I can't wait for another one.
