Review for Quantum Of solace VS casino RoyaleIn taking off where casino Royale left Quantum of Solace does a decent job but still falls short of expectations because this is not the Bond most of us are used to.Daniel Craig's Bond utterly lacks humour and suave.The script does not allow that.Ultimately,QOS suffers from bad writing and though comparisons are odious.I cannot but remember how timothy Dalton's stint as a super spy that was cut short because of thoroughly uninspiring episodes.He too went too rogue in License to Kill for similar reasons and made one of the worst Bond movies ever.Mathieu Amalric as Greene is the new age sophisticated villain.Olga Kurylenko as Camille must be Bond female sidekick with the least exposure ever,both on screen and in screen time.Judi Dench is fantastic as usual.The action sequences are good and edited far more edgily-fast and furious but sometimes blink and you miss.Bond has some serious super spy competition at the Boc office this century from the American amnesiac jason Bourne. The Bourne series have surely set the standards for unrelenting action sequences and somehow one hopes that Bond's future outings be much better.

Quantum of Solace is entertaining, Daniel Craig did a great job again... but the movie as a whole could stand to lose six or seven fewer chase scenes
