Quantum of Solace

Quantum of Solace is the first James Bond film that I have screened so I didn't really know what to expect.  I've never been a huge fan of the series in fact I don't thing I've ever seen any of them.  This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone that knows me though because you'll also know I've never seen Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or any other movie series that everyone marks out over.  The exception being The Matrix Trilogy.
The movie overall was average at best.  Daniel Craig does play the part well, I never had a chance to see Casino Royale but I heard that one got pretty good reviews.  While a lot of the fight scenes were cool, I found myself comparing them to unrealistic films such as Transporter 2 and The Marine.  At one point Bond and the Girl he's with jump from an airplane and catch each other in midair with one parachute.  Then they proceed to fall to the earth, just to pull the cord at the last second to avoid death.  Bond still slams into the earth at a pretty good impact. He walks away not even limping.
I know I give a lot of crap to unrealistic films, but some films if done right can get away with being unrealisitc, like Eagle Eye, which I was more into than this film. 
5/10
