Well I thought it was. For me, with the Bond movies, I've always had to take them with a couple tequila shots, you know? To be able to gloss over how they made this or how Bond survived that or whatever.
But Daniel Craig's Bond is able to be more of an action hero than just a sex god. There are several chase scenes where it simply seems that Bond is denying gravity - but if you look more closely at his physique, it's like - you know, I do really think that's possible [Casino Royale was especially good at this.] I'd skip Quantum of Solace, just know that it's "Bond on his own, ignoring his orders to get revenge."
I think you should watch Casino Royale and Skyfall, and try to go in with no expectations. Your expectations will be filled to the limit within a minute, with no clinging feelings from previous Bonds.
