What 'Quantum of Solace' does is weave the characterization into the plot and action to the point where we don't have room to breathe. If you were expecting a lengthy, down-to-earth, 'realistic' ('plausible' is probably a better description for 'Casino Royale') character-based revenge flick, 'Quantum of Solace' is not it. Does 'Quantum of Solace' deliver? Well, honestly, the answer to that depends almost entirely on what you were expecting. After the emotionally charged story, and particularly the climax, of 'Casino Royale', the bar was set very high for the follow-up. It means 'Death to the Spies' in Russian.Whether or not you liked 'Casino Royale', and most people certainly did, Roger Moore fanatics probably excluded (hey, I respect their opinion), it was something Bond had never been before, and it surprised a lot of people and reinvigorated genuine interest in Bond after 'Die Another Day' by which point it was frankly becoming an obligation to attend the new Bond film rather than a pleasure. OT: the abbreviation SMERSH really existed during the WWII.

I think that 'Casino Royale' (the way it was made) illustrates the fact that bigger is not always better - overlong and overblown, written and directed by five or more writers and directors, it brings to mind an old saying, 'Too many cooks spoil the broth'. Only Woody Allen, (as Bond's incompetent nephew, Jimmy Bond) brilliant as usual has appeared in two scenes and made them silly and hilarious. Then, the movie becomes silly, stupid, pointless, and (what is the worst) not funny.

His mission is to destroy Topple LeChiffre (Orson Welles} at the baccarat tables where he never loses and wins a lot of money to supply SMERSH. It started funny enough - at Sir James Bond's (David Niven) home where he was approached by four international agents that forced him to come out of retirement and head up the operation against the evil organization SMERSH. What a mess of the royal proportions - such a great cast (Peter Sellers, David Niven, Orson Welles, Woody Allen, Ursula Andress, Deborah Kerr, and Jean-Paul Belmondo), the James Bond's story, plenty of beautiful (and I mean it) girls, the music by Burt Bacharach, most famous sets - but the movie is almost totally unwatchable.
