The new 007 movie Quantum of Solace has made UK box office history, taking £4.94m, to become the biggest Friday opener of all time, and breaking the previous record of £4.025m set by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in 2005.

Quantum of Solace also far outdid the previous Bond movie, Casino Royale, which took £2.9m on its opening day. But while Daniel Craig's first outing as Bond received almost universal acclaim from critics and the public alike, Quantum of Solace has so far met with mixed reviews.

So can Bond 22 pull off yet another amazing feat and overtake Casino Royale's total UK box office haul of more than £50m? Have you seen it yet? What did you think?

I loved Casino Royal but Quantum has been a slight disapointment. Too much action and not enough plot and character development. The Bond producers must not dumb down for the action crazed/computer games generation or try to compete with inferior genre typified by the Bourne films. Bond = 'no body does it better' - have confidense in that and get back to the sort of detailed plot/storyline and real characters in Casino Royale. Also bring back the DB5!
