Quantum of Solace

I saw this movie couple of weeks ago when it was released. Although many of the reviews were not as good as Casino Royale, I still liked this movie. It picks up where the last movie left off when James Bond (Daniel Craig) investigates the organization that blackmailed the woman, Vesper, who James Bond loved and almost quit his job for in Casino Royale. This movie was not as great as the first one. But it is also one of the best in the James Bond franchise. It had an interesting story but jumped around too much that it left me a little confused and incomplete. Also, this movie portray James Bond during his darker times so it was more violent than many of the Bond movies I've seen before. Even though it's not like Casino Royale, it's still a film that you should see in the theaters. And with some improvements, hopefully the next installment would be as great as the first.
