Bond is back. Daniel Craig makes his return as 007 for the second time with a follow up to the huge success, Casino Royale. Quantum of Solace Opens up with a bang and never lets up. Thrilling scene after thrilling scene James Bond (Daniel Craig) continues his search for the killers of his girlfriend Vesper in the last movie. With this new found passion for revenge Bond picks up some violent and careless habits that his boss M (Judi Dench) would like to get a hold of. On his careless killing spree Bond discovers a secret organization that he believes is responsible for Vesper’s death. He follows these men across the world to Haiti where he meets a woman, Camille (Olga Kurylenko) who becomes his partner in crime on the journey. He runs into the head of this organization, Dominic Greene (Mathieu Almalric) in Haiti as well. Greene is planning to overthrown local governments in Latin America to gain control of a valuable piece government lands. Along the way Bond fights every type of scene you could image, leaving the viewer with some truly memorable scenes. Bond fights in the air, water, and on land, incorporating plenty of knife fighting, shooting, kicking, and punching. The movie is beautifully shot in all scenes making feel as if you are right in the action the entire time. The one flaw in the film is a little lack of story, but if you going to watch some awesome action scenes you found the right film.

I have already seen this film twice. The first time was right when it came out because i loved the first one, and then the second time I saw it was this last weekend. Both times I went with my girlfriend. I enjoyed it just as much the second time as the first because I love all the action, but my girlfriend understood the story more the second time so she liked it more that time. So it is a film that I recommend seeing. If you don't really enjoy it the first time give it one more shot before you declare that you didn't like. Its action packed with Daniel Craig putting on another worthy show.
