This was my first impression, too, and then I watched it again. And once more. While I'm still slightly put off by the Spoiler:
back to back to back chase scenes, though each of them were spectacular, the Spoiler:
development of the Bond character (and QoS is ultimately about character) is really engaging. I found it's best to watch CR and then go right into QoS. They operate as two acts from a two-act piece.
After seeing movies like Sin City, I'm starting to like the idea of having different acts of a whole story being directed by different individuals with unique styles. Campbell and Foster are very different, and it lends very well to what's shaping up to be one of the two best reboots of all time (the other being Nolan's Batman). We've seen this situation before with TV shows, but it doesn't get many opportunities in film. If only they'd tapped someone else to write and direct Spider-man 3...
Quantum of Solace: 9.4/10, I'll recommend it to all of my friends.
