  After casino Royale, I was somewhat disappointed with Quantum of Solace. The bad guy was unconvincing. As always, the women were beautiful! Lucky bastard :)

  ... 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.

      Well... there was that ONE moment that Timothy Dalton had in "The Living Daylights" just after a fellow agent is bisected by a sliding glass door at carnival, when he goes berserk.

      He almost shoots some innocents holding Balloons, then has a brilliant psycho flip-flop moment with the moll he's befriended (d'Abo).

      You see the rage and absolute cold killer suspicion for just a second, then it's gone again - covered by the disarming and charming (although steely) professional. Smooth.

      A brilliant moment that captured something I hadn't seen as clearly in any other Bond preceding.

      Dalton had something, not Craig's "animal", but something.

      Agreed about Dr. No. Ursula Andress' Honey Ryder established the ultimate Bond pin-up image for all others to TRY to attain. I'm not so sure any did.

      character which reached its zenith in FRWL butt was dialed back, fortunately. I firmly believe that Craig is what Fleming really had in mind. A well cared for orphan with a hard on against the world.

        Very well put!
        
        FRWL's villain Red Grant was perfectly realized by Robert Shaw. The way he seethes in the shadows is tense film noir - a lurking threat undetected until it is almost too late. My favorite Bond villain.
        
        Man, I hope those days of great acting aren't gone.

        With luck he can remake all of Connery's Bond films.

      I don't know if they are equal, but are very close and alike. I agree, the others just didn't measure up.

    I think QofS didn't get its due. It was a really good sequel that took up right where Casino Royale left off. It was a great ride, with a good villian, a couple hot babes, maintained the updated Craig version of Bond current in the digital age but with one foot firmly planted in Flemming's 007.
    
    So what was bad about QofS?
