Quantum of Solace
This one picks up where Casino Royale left off. Daniel Craig’s Bond is bent on vengeance for the death of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), and despite orders from M (Judi Dench) to chill out, he’s going on a killing spree. Director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland), like Martin Campbell did with Royale, is shooting for something a little more realistic with this Bond. Forster is pretty good with an action sequence, and Craig makes for a decent action hero. This Bond is much different from those played by Sean Connery and Roger Moore; he’s far more angry and violent. Still, some of Bond’s past charms remain evident, and I imagine Bond will become a little more sophisticated and reserved as Craig starts to age. Or they’ll just replace him.
