I had to go with above average. It was a good movie but it was a bit of a letdown after Casino Royale.

That's sort of like saying a nap isn't as good as a long-night's sleep.

Well, CR definitely induced sleep.

I'm one of the few that found the second half of Casino Royale as thrilling as the first -- if not more so. Just because there wasn't any quick cuts, action sequences or foot chases doesn't make a well-played card game less entertaining. The eye contact between Bond and LeChiffre was magnetic, and I was glued to the screen to see what happened next. Bond facing off assassins and getting poisoned only added to the mix.
Well, it seems that Maddox came out of hibernation to review this movie:
Quantum of Solace is a Shitpile
Everything about this movie pissed me off, save for the lesbian finger bang scene. Except even that sucked because it wasn't in the movie.
Can't believe how high this has been scored here. I like how Mark Kermode summed it up on his 2008 Review I saw last night in BBC News 24
"Be honest about it, Quantum of Solace was a whole bunch of nothing. No plot, no memorable theme tune, no quotable one-liners, no discernable love interest. Not even the sight of Daniel Craig on his tight little pants"
I would totally agree. I saw this film 7 weeks ago now, and I can barely remember anything about it. I worked out I saw 20 films at the cinema in 2008, some great, some bad. But this would easily be at the bottom of the pile.

Yup. That pretty much sums it up. It wasn't a bad film by any means, just kinda vapid and void of any "Bondness."
