Quantum of Solace - Early Reviews

The first couple of reviews are out for the latest James Bond feature, Quantum of Solace, which debuts November 14 in the U.S. So far, the reviews are good, and very good.

I skimmed the reviews, careful to not spoil any plot points for myself. The film picks up where Casino Royale left off, both in plot and style, and the new director appears to have improved upon what was established with Casino.

From James Christopher's review:

The director, Marc Forster, has absorbed the lucrative lessons discovered in Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale. He has also managed to pace his sequel much better. Royale felt slightly wheel-clamped by one too many longeurs. If anything, the crunching chase sequences in Quantum of Solace are even more magnificently dangerous. And the daredevil leaps and tumbles through glass roofs are just as sensational as the splintering high-speed pyrotechnics.
