James Bond returns for duty and somehow ups the action levels in his first ever sequel considerably.

Written by Evan Nathans

But do the dead like vengeance?

Nobody has ever accused the venerable James Bond series of films as lacking in the action department, but don't think that's any reasons for the team behind the first truly direct sequel (to 2006's excellent Casino Royale) to stop trying.  The first real trailer for the upcoming Quantum of Solace should dispel any notions that this franchise has become a second-ran to that 'other' secret spy thriller starring Ben Affleck's other half, as we finally get to see Daniel Craig completely own the role many were worried he couldn't play.  But here the actor fills the suit like a glove, or should I say well-tailored suit and when those familiar notes start chiming away...all is right with the world.

So if you think you're up for the challenge, why not click on Bond's frantic mug just below and take the journey for yourself!  As always, opt for the pristine and crystal-clear HD versions if you have the hardware (just below the streaming video), although let's hope that all those pixels leave your computer shaken AND stirred.  Or should those tech-types out there finally feel vindicated that the least likely word in the whole of the English language is now topping a guaranteed-blockbuster action film?  Science (and action) nerds, your ship has come in!

OK, bad puns aside, Quantum of Solace invades theaters November 14th!
