10 things that are awesome in Quantum of Solace

10. The titles for the locations. I thought it was jarring at first but it grew on me until I loved looking at them. Simple thing, bold and some how fitting.

9. The feeling that I am somehow watching a violent Tintin comic... and that is not a bad thing. Globe trotting adventures and escapades... it made me smile.

8. The return of the classic gun barrel shot.

7. The homage to Goldfinger. 

6. The clever way Mr White escapes from the opera.

5. The whole opera fight sequence.

4. Bond's relationship with Mathias. Touching and unexpected. 

3. The very dry and understated humour. 

2. The motivation for the villain being... scarily real.

1. Daniel Craig. The most soulful and damaged portrayal of Bond I've seen and all the more compelling because of it.
