Not bad. But like recent James Bond flicks it seems like the storyline is all over the place.

The movie is non-stop action from beginning to end and it is very entertaining. I won't give it two thumbs up but I will say it's worth the trip.

Went and saw it last night. The action scenes were well done but I found a large majority of the scenes to be boring. As Guro said, the plotline was all over the place and I really couldn't get into the movie. I didn't see Casino Royale, so maybe that has something to do with the movie seeming to be a bit vague as to why Bond was doing what he was doing. The extent of the backstory seemed to be this one line that kept getting repeated over and over.

I also missed the cool spy cars that were in all of the Bond movies I have seen.

I liked the movie but I agree, the storyline was choppy. I think there was quite a bit edited out. I saw Casino Royal and still found it off the wall in parts. Lots of action and very fast paced. Great stunts and F/X.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. It would help if you saw Casino Royale. This movie was totally a sequel to it.

I guess that it would explain some of it. So I guess that the movie is only good if you have seen Casino Royale...

No but it makes it better if you've seen Casino Royale. Casino Royale is a little slower paced then Quantum of Solice.
