Although there are a few amazing action scenes, the plot lacks pace in my opinion. You can't keep up with what's happening or understand the plot because the scenes move by so quickly. To me, it simply lacks overall depth.

Easily the weakest of the Daniel Craig Bond movies, with none of the flair and grit of Casino Royale, and a heroine that is a total brown face.

The movie starts very suddenly with lots of action and there certainly is enough action to keep you entertained throughout, between dialogue and scenes with M at MI5s London HQ.

The movie is pretty fast paced and there are the usual car chase scenes, as well as gun fights and hand to hand action scenes plus some of it is set in the skies and some is out at sea as well. I thought some of the cinematography was quite good, there's some nice imagery.

Daniel Craig may not be everyones ideal choice as Bond but he does have bring quite an 'edge' to the character and he certainly seems very self assured, with the same apathetic and rather unrepentant facial expression as was seen in Casino Royale. Of course in Casino Royale, James was getting to grips, so to speak (and somewhat literally!), with having a 'license to kill' and he somewhat reluctantly started out becoming the James Bond we all know today, with that movie being the first James Bond story but in Quantum of Solace, James is back and he seems alot more sure of himself, being spurred on to find out who may have been behind the blackmailing of his late lover, Vesper Lynd.

I would like to point out that there is quite alot of shaky camerawork, so those who suffer from motion sickness be warned! especially if you go to see this on the big screen, I almost felt queasy after a few minutes of the most shaky camerawork, on such a large screen it is really quite shaky, not in a 'Blair Witch' way but in that the camera jumps and moves around alot, pretty much (I hope that makes sense), I guess thats done to make it seem more fast paced and to add to the frantic feel of the action scenes.

I was surprised by the length of the movie, having quickly watched some of Casino Royale last night to remind myself of what happened in that movie (I heard that your supposed to re-watch that before seeing this movie since it starts where that movie left off), I noticed Casino Royale was about 2 hours and 20 minutes, yet this movie finished what I thought was quite soon and it turned out it was only about 1 hour and 40 minutes long, which doesn't seem that long for a James Bond movie. However, I enjoyed it while it was on and I guess its better for a movie to be too short than to go on too long and become predictable or, heaven forbid for a James Bond movie, boring, so thats the way I see that. When the last line is uttered, you think 'ah thats a good line' and feel like that could a place to end it but it still did feel a bit too soon to end, so I was still a bit surprised when it did go to the usual 007 ending sequence and onto the credits from there but it was still a good movie while it was on, as I say.

For fans of James Bond movies, you should enjoy the rather psychadelic sequences shown at the start of the movie, when the credits appear, this movie provides a pretty slick and interesting credit sequence, graphics-wise.

Yes, I would recommend it. This is another decent James Bond movie with the 'blonde Bond' (ie Daniel Craig) proving that he really can be quite a killing machine and he certainly seems to be very much on a mission in this movie. It is quite fast paced, while also maintaining a pretty strong storyline, so you do quite need your 'thinking cap' on for this movie, as I found I had to work fairly hard to keep up with who's who and what was going on, much in the same way as other James Bond films, so this shouldn't surprise anyone.

This film has a bit of everything, a good car chase scene, boat chases, gun fights and hand on hand conflict, plus action in the skies, so pretty much all bases are covered. If your a James Bond fan or are otherwise intrigued or like the sound of this movie, I'd say you should definitely check it out, its quite entertaining and is worth watching.

Out of 25 Bonds I saw, I place this one at 17/25.

Quantum of Solace, apart from having a title that makes everyone ask "what the hell?" has pretty much nothing of note.

It follows up on Casino Royale's storyline of Craig's Bond being a lonely child that needs love. He still seeks revenge for his girlfriend's loss. He still gets M to be his surrogate mommy.

I never personally liked that side of Craig's movies too much, and it really lingers over Quantum, since it drives the plot.

But plot aside, the bigger issue is that Quantum's "villain" is not even worth remembering. Mathieu Amalric doesn't exactly suck entirely, but if a good villain is supposed to be impressive, or frightening, in his case, the only feeling is "uneasy" at best, or rather "creepy". Also, he's almost not the villain here, since the real villain of Quantum is an incompetent american administration. So a weak villain that only feels creepy at best is supported by a CIA agent being a complete tool.

Rebellious teenager Craig/Bond in need of love faces that terrible opposition, and with a villain and girl that overall do not really strike as characters (or as actors), the movie just sort of wallows from action scene to murder scene, because it's also one of the most violent and murderous Bond movies.

At some point, there is a genuinely well-acted and well-written scene that I almost felt something for does come, and a tragic death full of pathos does happen. And I genuinely wanted to feel for it, because it had everything to be good. Sadly, since it was in this movie, it just fell flat, or rather, the plot, actions, events, and everything surrounding that scene, made it fall flat.

Quantum is a flat movie which, even when it shines, fails to bring attachment. See it only if you care about continuity between Casino Royale and Skyfall.

On top of that, the film feels a lot more like Jason Bourne with the excessive and poorly edited action scenes . It's an okay movie I guess, but honestly had a lot of potential to be really good.

I recommend watching Casino Royale first as it works better together, sets up this movie, character motivations and is one of the best movies in the franchise. James Bond is seeking vengeance for the events of the previous movie and is on an investigation to find more information's about the secret organization he stumbled on there. The organization did a good job in hiding as even the MI 6 has no information about them. This soon escalates in more than one way as there was more to it than he imagined. I wont spoil more but fans of the franchise had a theory back then. It continues what the last movie began. Daniel Craig plays a younger, rougher and more unpolished James Bond that even sometimes shows true emotions behind his facade. From the timeline it is at the beginning of his career as he just shortly before received 00 status and his license to kill. He continued to become a contender for best James Bond actor. The movies are grittier, darker and more matured. This works well and won fans and critics over. This works because of the great performance of the actors. I already praised Daniel Craig as James Bond so I will continue with the others. Lets begin with Olga Kurylenko as Camille. Just a near perfect performance. She is as much interesting, has relatable motives, scars of the past and works really well. This era has so much great female characters. They are more than damsels in distress or just love interest. While I am at it as always I will praise Judi Dench as M. Still a great leader and terrifying for her enemies. Matthieu Almaric fully delivers and is in the love to hate category. The rest of the cast is also really good. Then there are the well done fight scenes and intense action. These are breathtaking and you feel the impact. It is a no nonsense or gadgets approach. Overall this is an excellent James Bond movie. A bit weaker than Casino Royale but still refreshing and a recommendation. Will repeat that I would watch both movies in order to get more out of this.

I was one of what feels like the few people that actually wanted Craig to do well as Bond. I wasn't moaning about him being blonde, I wasn't moaning about the lack of gadgets, I was just happy to see one of my favourite fictional characters back on screen. As many people know I am a huge Bond fan, I have all the movies, I love them all in their unique way, and even if Casino Royale had been a disaster I would have found some enjoyment out of it. Thankfully it wasn't a disaster, it was actually one of the best Bond movies made. Quantum of Solace is a direct sequel of Royale, and so I once again had high expectations of it. Perhaps even more so than with Royale, as now I knew Craig is a superb Bond, and I wanted the story to evolve more. Let me start off by saying Solace is not as good as Royale, and for many people that will be a problem, as so many people were expecting an even better movie. While it is an extremely good movie, and a brilliant Bond movie, its just not one of the best and does have a few problems. Still as a Bond fan I still absolutely loved nearly every minute of the movie. It isn't overlong and outstays its welcome like Royale, but neither is it rushed as I feared. The performances are incredibly strong once again and there are some thrilling action sequences thrown in as well.

Daniel Craig once again is very strong as Bond, and unlike what a lot of critics have said, is actually good fun. He can deliver a pun quite well, and he also does the dramatic and seriousness of Bond to perfection. In short he is definitely up there in terms of quality with Sean Connery. He feels a bit more comfortable as Bond this time around, he doesn't have to say the famous line which sadly felt a tad forced at the end of Royale. Instead he does get his fair share of brooding, although his verbal sparring with Gemma Arterton is pretty brilliant. The lead Bond girl this time is played by Olga Kurylenko, who I last saw in the dismal Hit-man movie. Thankfully here she plays a very interesting, although different Bond girl. She doesn't appear much for the first half, and her first sequence seemed more random than interesting. However she does develop quite nicely and by the end she is definitely one of the better Bond girls. Lead villain duties go to Mathieu Amalric. I have to say he was a bit of a disappointment after the brilliant Lechiffre in Royale. Amalric is a slimy villain, and he does put in a good performance, but his villain just isn't all that menacing, and I can see him being one of the easily forgettable Bond baddies. Judi Dench gets an awful lot more screen time this time round, and its all the better for it. M has been rewritten as a superb character, and gets some nice bit of swearing to do. Finally Gemma Arterton is fairly decent as a wasted Bond girl. She has way too little screen time, and far too little to do, however she does shine through, and features in one of the more memorable moments of the movie.

Quantum of Solace story wise is perhaps where the problems begin to slip in. Royale's story was simple and very easy to follow, while Quantum is nowhere near as confusing as people are making it out to be, the movie is a bit overcomplicated for its own good. The villains plan is nowhere near as diabolical as it really could be, and I feel I need to watch the movie again just to get the intricate details of the movie. However as most Bond fans know story is not always a Bond movies strong point, just look at Live and Let Die, Die Another Day. So long as it manages to entertain I am quite happy. Solace thankfully is a brilliantly entertaining movie for the majority. I will admit, the pre-credit sequence is a very big disappointment. I know the stunts were good, and it should have been thrilling, but I felt so oddly bored by it. However once the credits sequence began, to a song I am steadily coming to like, the movie kicked off. The rest of the action sequences were particularly well done, my personal favourite being a bit in an opera house, extremely well edited. Drama wise the movie is very solid, there are some lighter moments to keep people happy, and some amusing one liners, but the movie for the most part is pretty down to earth.

Quantum of Solace as I've said is a great movie, and no doubt many people will love it, although some will be a bit disappointed by it. Either way Craig is still a great Bond, and I cannot wait to see more adventures with him as the lead. Although we could do with a more interesting villain next time round please.

The second of the Daniel Craig Bond films is an unfortunate step backward for the franchise that borrows quite a few too many filmmaking techniques from the Bourne franchise.

Whenever a film fails to succeed such a wonderful precursor on so many levels, the answer to why almost always lies in the direction. A good director will guide the creation of nearly every aspect of a film in order to achieve their ultimate vision. If the director of QoS's vision was a return to the pulpy, lighthearted Bond films of the past, I think he absolutely achieved that.

The problem with doing that is that it directly contradicts the precedent that was set by Casino Royale, a film where characters grow and change over the course of their arcs and a film where action scenes actually convey the weight of the stakes surrounding them.


The closest thing Bond has to an arc in QoS is that he learns to kill a little bit less often. The only pieces of his character I enjoyed in this film are remnants and threads relating to Vesper that are peppered in seemingly only by some obligation to achieving continuity with Casino Royale.

Along with the featherweight plot and character of this film also comes mind-numbing presentation of fight and action scenes. Frantic editing and persistent shaky-cam result in every chase, fight, and shootout being difficult to follow. This poses a real problem since the writing fails to set up the goals of the characters in most of these scenes. What these failures amount to is a lack of suspense thereby interest in the majority of the action in this film.

Lackluster dialogue is delivered by most of the actors with little to no emotion as well throughout the movie. There's a few moments I enjoyed but on the whole, there very few good things to hold on to with this one. Also, David Harbour's character, in both writing and performance, was straight out of an SNL sketch. Didn't believe it for a second.

Quantum of Solace is embarrassed by the classic Bond films, ditching anything fun and anything over-the-top in favor of "gritty realism". The result is a completely joyless endeavor, and one of the worst Bond movies of them all.

The second round takes a heavy toll on Craig, not accounting in the previous chapter scenarios, but individually, it is too effortful and tirsome.

Quantum Of Solace

Foster doesn't serve my cup of tea. I never fully got his rhythm. Even in Finding Neverland, his mundane events never woke me up. And now invading the Bond franchise with similar speech and agenda, Mark Foster, the director, is keeping things mellow which doesn't suggest that it is smart or mature. Let's dive in on the conversations, that actually made its previous installment so light in feet, but this time reminiscing about the past and approaching the mission with the safest way possible, it gets very hard then to make it commercially successful. In fact, Judi Dench's track has the objective to make sure Bond plays safe; practical(!), but who'd want that.

The action too, in this one seems like a bait, almost a reason to make it there on time, or more accurately to reach the two hour clock, ergo the flight chase, the water chase, the car chase and the running chase, too much of ingredients did spoil the appetite. Let me go back once again, to the rhythm of the film, with no whatsoever thread linked in the narration, jumping from one debate to another, there is zero romance between these characters to make us care for them- overcooked empathy for one character will not make up for everyone.

Daniel Craig with recent wounds is back on the hunt and with a more clenched jaw, he keeps his poker face on, that basically works as a guard who won't let us in on his emotional journey, creating a physical distance with the audience. The Bond girl gets quite a chunk of bite but unfortunately antagonist, almost an empty space in this chapter. Quantum Of Solace is the afterparty after what went down in Casino Royale, the memory is a bit hazy and it also fumbles a lot.

Directed by Marc Forster and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, it has script by Robert Wade, Neal Purvis and Paul Haggis. This is the twenty-second movie of the franchise and is the second film in the new era of James Bond,Directed by Marc Forster and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, it has script by Robert Wade, Neal Purvis and Paul Haggis. This is the twenty-second movie of the franchise and is the second film in the new era of James Bond, embodied by the participation of Daniel Craig as 007. It inherits the central cast from the previous film, to which joins Olga Kurylenko, in the role of bond-girl Camille, Gemma Arterton, in the role of Strawberry Fields, Mathieu Amalric in the role of villain, Dominic Greene, and Joaquín Cosio in the role of General Medrano.

In this film, James Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper, killed by Quantum, a mysterious criminal organization that seeks to manipulate governments and control natural resources. In the process, however, he will have to act on his own, even going against MI6's orders to destroy this criminal syndicate.

This is one of the Bond movies I understand worse due to its complexity. It's so complicated and intricate that it becomes incomprehensible. But it's also true that, after the success of "Casino Royale" (which this film follows up), it would be difficult to obtain similar results. Despite the incomprehensibility, i enjoy the way that it approaches the value of water and ecological issues and concerns. Daniel Craig continues to play his role brilliantly, giving realism and credibility to the British agent. The interpretations of Mathieu Amalric and Joaquín Cosio also deserve congratulations, especially the latter one, which could become truly repellent with his sexist behavior and total disregard for women. However, Olga Kurylenko didn't satisfy me: her interpretation is very positive but her character is too ambiguous: she was a great help to Bond, she touched the audience with her story, but she isn't attractive enough to be a bond-girl. The opening sequence didn't surprised, despite Alicia Keys collaboration on the song "Another Way to Die"

Victim of the writer's strike, this film ends up being a disjointed mess, hindered by unsure direction and over edited action sequences. There's some neat moments here and there, but this is definitely one of the weaker Bond films.

It's not a horrible movie but it's definitely the weakest of Craig's movies. The first half or maybe more has almost no depth, no character, and no intrigue. The action scenes aren't horrible but they're mostly too over the top and poorly edited. The story, after meandering through a bunch of chases and not really building to anything, does start to pick up at a point. Apparently someone remembered a movie has to have some sort of depth to maintain interest. From there it goes onto a decent yet mostly uninspired path to the finish. The movie has its moments of character and atmosphere peppered throughout the second half but this is basically the definition of a placeholder movie. A watchable but frustratingly by the numbers and only occasionally engaging movie that's nowhere near Casino Royale or Skyfall. Expand

While it still boosts fun action and set pieces, Quantum of Solace doesn't reach the critical acclaim of Casino Royale. It is still enjoyable to watch which is why I would still recommend it to Bond fans.

Sounds lovely as it is and also sounds as much for James Bond, but Quantum of Solace can prove that the series is falling down for its 'doom' for its time.

Also, for the first time, I get the feeling that this James Bond is as bad as the other villains! James Bond is supposed to be the hero, not the revenge-seeking murderous d*ck. Action scenes are fun to watch and they happen in a good variety of locations around the world - this is all that saves this film. Expand

Marc Forster Has a License to Confuse and Bore in Quantum of Solace.

Those of us who adored Casino Royale, the 2006 reboot of the haggard, self-parodic James Bond franchise, had some trouble trying to decide where to place it among the series' finest. Was it better than Goldfinger? Probably not, but close. The Spy Who Loved Me? Maybe so. From Russia With Love? Nope—missed it by this much, to quote another secret agent. Granted, it's all shades of bullet-gray when it comes to Bond, historically riddled with silly, soporific misfires that looked the same regardless of who wore the tux and gulped the gin and gave the girl one last gasp before she drew her last breath.

But Casino Royale was a welcome break with a wearying tradition: It was the first James Bond movie since On Her Majesty's Secret Service to portray 007 as something more than a suave, Kennedy-era caricature—a handsome head perched upon a tailored suit and a martini glass. Daniel Craig, an art-house bombshell if there is such a thing, brought to Bond warmth, humanity, and, above all, gives-a-damn decency heretofore lacking since George Lazenby's sole stint as Connery's stand-in. More than just a good time spent riding shotgun in a tricked-out ride with a bad boy, Casino Royale was a love story masquerading as a spy thriller, with Bond falling for his collaborator and eventual betrayer, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), who was working for . . . ?

That, alas, is the question allegedly answered by Quantum of Solace, which takes its title from an inconsequential Ian Fleming short story and is the first Bond movie to serve as a direct sequel. Allegedly, because Craig's second outing as Bond is as frustrating, sloppy, and brusque as its predecessor was engaging, sleek, and unhurried. At 106 minutes, it's the shortest of the Bond films, but it feels like one of the longest as it bounces hither and yon only to wind up stranded in a Bolivian desert, where baddie Dominic Greene (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly's Mathieu Amalric) is sucking the sand dry of its underwater river. Yawn. Used to be, Bond villains were larger-than-life Evil Geniuses who at least had Grand Aspirations to take over the world, bwah-haw-haw. Now, the bad guy's just a phony environmentalist with a thing for deposed dictators and dry wells.

At least, that's what Quantum of Solace seems to be about, though most of the time it's simply too hard to tell—or too pointless to care about—courtesy of the haphazard direction of Marc Forster, who demonstrates by negative example why Bond movies are best served by journeymen with something to prove rather than would-be A-listers slumming it. From its very first moments—we enter the film mid–car chase—Quantum is a spastic, indecipherable, unholy, and altogether unwatchable mess. Between swerves and smashes, we simply have no idea who's doing what to whom, where they're doing it, or why. What's meant to be kinetic and cathartic serves only to disorient, to keep the audience at a head-scratching distance.

It's as though Forster (Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland) and his two editors (longtime collaborator Matt Cheese and, get this, Get Smart and Bourne Supremacy vet Richard Pearson) filmed Quantum on a roller coaster and cut the movie with a food processor set on "indecipherable." Consider the scene, only moments after the car chase, where Bond and M (Judi Dench, even more disagreeable than she was in Casino Royale) question the mysterious Mr. White (Jesper Christensen, reprising his role from the previous film) about his role in Vesper's double-cross and death. The interrogation, but of course, turns into a shoot-out, with Bond chasing the assassin across rooftops and through broken glass ceilings—a reprise of Casino Royale's thrilling parkour sequence, perhaps the franchise's singular Great Moment. But Forster, whose biggest action sequence to date involved Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton getting it on, interrupts the action with needless, irritating cutaways to inconsequential doings (dunno what, can't say, wouldn't matter anyway) elsewhere that render the entire scene a confounding, alienating muddle. Which is to say nothing of the klutzy opera-house shoot-out stolen from The Godfather: Part III only moments later.

Written by Neil Purvis and Robert Wade (whose association with Bond dates back to 1999's The World Is Not Enough—yes, the one with Denise Richards) and Casino Royale pinch hitter Paul Haggis, Quantum of Solace may ultimately prove Bond's worst enemy to date. It's both frantic and boring, a surprising and wholly unnecessary attempt to gin up the revived franchise by turning Bond into Bourne.

If nothing else, there's no need to worry about where Quantum of Solace fits in the Bond pantheon—it's easily one of the worst.

A reviewer may come to a new James Bond movie — “Quantum of Solace,” directed by Marc Forster and opening Friday, is the 22nd official installment of the series in 46 years — with a nifty theory or an elaborate sociocultural hermeneuticA reviewer may come to a new James Bond movie — “Quantum of Solace,” directed by Marc Forster and opening Friday, is the 22nd official installment of the series in 46 years — with a nifty theory or an elaborate sociocultural hermeneutic agenda, but the most important thing to have on hand is a checklist. It’s all well and good to reflect upon the ways 007, the Harry Potter of British intelligence, has evolved over time through changes in casting, geopolitics, sexual mores and styles of dress.

But the first order of business must always be to run through the basic specs of this classic entertainment machine’s latest model and see how it measures up.

So before we proceed to any consideration of the deeper meanings of “Quantum of Solace” (or for that matter the plain meaning of its enigmatic title), we need to assess the action, the villain, the gadgets, the babes and the other standard features.

The opening song, performed by Jack White and Alicia Keys (an intriguing duo on paper if nowhere else), is an abysmal cacophony of incompatible musical idioms, and the title sequence over which those idioms do squalling battle is similarly disharmonious: conceptually clever and visually grating. The first chase, picking up exactly where the 2006 “Casino Royale” left off, is speedy and thrilling, but the other action set-pieces are a decidedly mixed bag, with a few crisp footraces, some semi-coherent punch-outs and a dreadful boat pileup that brings back painful memories of the invisible car Pierce Brosnan tooled around in a few movies ago.

Picturesque locales? Bolivia, Haiti, Austria and Italy are featured or impersonated, to perfectly nice touristic effect. Gizmos? A bit disappointing, to tell the truth. Technological advances in the real world may not quite have outpaced those in the Bond universe, but so many movies these days show off their global video surveillance set-ups and advanced smart-phone applications that it’s hard for this one to distinguish itself.

What about the villain? One of the best in a while, I’d say, thanks to a lizardy turn from the great French actor Mathieu Amalric, who plays Dominic Greene, a ruthless economic predator disguised as an ecological do-gooder. The supporting cast is studded with equally excellent performers, including Jeffrey Wright and Giancarlo Giannini, both reprising their roles in “Casino Royale.”

And the women? There are two, as usual — not counting Judi Dench, returning as the brisk and impatient M — one (Gemma Arterton) a doomed casual plaything, the other a more serious dramatic foil and potential romantic interest. That one, called Camille, is played by Olga Kurylenko, whose specialty seems to be appearing in action pictures as the pouty, sexy sidekick of a brooding, vengeful hero. Not only Daniel Craig’s Bond, but also Mark Wahlberg’s Max Payne and Timothy Olyphant’s Hitman.

James Bond is a much livelier character than either of those mopey video-game ciphers, but he shares with them the astonishing ability to resist, indeed to ignore, Ms. Kurylenko’s physical charms.

This is not out of any professional scruple. The plot of “Quantum of Solace” is largely propelled by Bond’s angry flouting of the discipline imposed by his job, and anyway when did James Bond ever let work get in the way of sex? No, what gets in the way is emotion. 007’s grief and rage, the source of his connection to Camille, are forces more powerful than either duty or libido.

Mr. Brosnan was the first actor to allow a glimmer of complicated emotion to peek through Bond’s cool, rakish facade, and since Mr. Craig took over the franchise two years ago the character has shown a temperament at once rougher and more soulful than in previous incarnations. The violence in his first outing, “Casino Royale,” was notably intense, and while “Quantum of Solace” is not quite as brutal, the mood is if anything even more grim and downcast.

The death in “Casino” of Bond’s lover Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), along with the possibility that she had betrayed him before dying, provides an obvious psychological explanation for his somber demeanor in “Quantum.” But while the exploration of Bond’s psychology makes him, arguably at least, a deeper, subtler character — and there is certainly impressive depth and subtlety in Mr. Craig’s wounded, whispery menace — it also makes him harder to distinguish from every other grieving, seething avenger at the multiplex.

“Quantum of Solace,” a phrase never uttered in the course of this film (though it has something to do with Greene’s diabolical scheme, itself never fully explained), means something like a measure of comfort. Perhaps that describes what Bond is looking for, or maybe it is what this kind of entertainment tries to provide a fretful audience. If so, I prefer mine with a dash of mischief.

The story is a bit much and I did not love the revenge angle too much. If the story was more fleshed out, I think the film would have benefited. As it stood, the film was too short. Olga Kurylenko's character has very little to do here other than look good, aside from the minor sub-plot that feels shoehorned in. That being said, that is where the negatives just about end. The non-action direction from Marc Forster is quite stylish, and the acting from Daniel Craig and Judi Dench is fantastic. Quantum of Solace has style for days and is not afraid to use it, but it truly is style over substance here with a pretty worthless plot. Quantum of Solace is an entirely mediocre effort from director Marc Forster. Expand

I left the action rush of this follow-up to the terrific 2006 Casino Royale feeling bummed out by James Bond. Well, not by the Bond of Daniel Craig — he's still one nasty-ass dude, with the kind of rough-edged style that the 007 franchise hasn't seen since the glory days of Sean Connery. But the character fun seems to have gone out the window in Quantum of Solace, a fancy-shmancy title (the only thing borrowed from Ian Fleming's short story) for a movie that pours crude oil all over the subtle pleasures and sexy beats that came before.

The new movie picks up a few minutes after the last one. Big car chase (all together now: eww!) as Bond, barely recovered from the death of his lady love Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), burns rubber all over Italy with the wiggling body of Mr. White (Jesper Christensen) in the trunk of his Aston Martin. Cut to Mr. White's interrogation by M (Judi Dench), who finds herself surrounded by traitorous MI6 agents now working for Quantum, an agency bent on (what else?) world domination. So it's Bond on the march, killing everything that moves.

I know, it sounds juicy, but it isn't. Things go on the fritz early — even the new theme song, "Another Way to Die," sung by Jack White and Alicia Keys, sucks. Bond seems to have come down with a serious case of Jason Bourne penis envy, leaping across rooftops from Bolivia to Haiti like a jug-eared Matt Damon.

Put the blame on Marc Forster, a sensitive filmmaker (Monster's Ball, Finding Neverland) who has no experience as an action director and appears to be seriously overcompensating. In Casino Royale, Martin Campbell — a real action man — stopped to savor the distractions in the script co-written by Crash Oscar winner Paul Haggis. Remember the poker game and the sexual teasing in that train scene with Craig's Bond and Green's Vesper trying to guess each other's past histories? Haggis is back, but the mischief is gone. There's a flicker of interest when redhead Gemma Arterton shows up as Fields, an MI6 agent not averse to bonding with Bond, but she's soon gone like the ghost of good times past.

Instead, we get pouty Ukrainian model Olga Kurylenko as Camille, perhaps the dullest Bond girl ever. Camille treats 007 like he has an STD, but she screws the villainous Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric, bugging the eyes he only blinked in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) to get to Bolivian general Medrano, who did evil perversities to her and her family.

It could have been a hell of a revenge tale about two people, Bond and Camille, who know you kill most effectively when you don't take it personally but who can't help taking it personally. That story is written all over Craig's haunted face. But Quantum of Solace won't trust its own darker instincts. It delivers the popcorn goods, but it ignores the poison eating at Bond's insides. Killer mistake.

Yes, it's true what they say. 'Quantum of Solace' is a silly, choppy action movie that felt less like a Bond movie and more like a Bourne movie.

Daniel Craig still maintains the role magnificently well, doing what he can in a silly action film. Olga Kurylenko makes a good Bond girl and Mathieu Amalric is an okay Bond villain. I don't remember him as much as previous villains, especially Mads Mikkelsen ('Casino Royale'), and then Javier Bardem ('Skyfall') four years later.

I am not sure whether 'Quantum of Solace' would have been a much better movie if it wasn't a follow up to the great 'Casino Royale' (2006). It felt more like one of those dumb, gimmicky Pierce Brosnan movies after 'Goldeneye' (1995), this movie reminded me of 'Die Another Day' (2002), I was afraid that this current series of Bond movies would fall into that routine of dumb action and gimmicky moments. After starting off so well in 'Casino Royale' (2006), I feared this movie would end Daniel Craig, luckily he survived this one.

I just hope we never see another dumb action Bond flick ever again.

Although this movie is not that good it's still better than the 2 other Bond movies Daniel Craig did, because at least there is a lot of action in this movie and the Bond girl is hot while in the other 2 movies the story is boring and the Bond girls unattractive.

The story is terrible, the music is good (except for the awful theme song) and the fact that this Bond film relies mostly on Bourne type things, this does not feel like much of a Bond film. So in conclusion, this is the worst Bond film, but it had its good moments- but they were mostly rare. Expand

It may not be edited perfectly or nearly three-quarters as well-crafted as its predecessor, but "Quantum Of Solace" still stands tall as a thrillingly engrossing Bond film.

It was always going to be difficult following the raging success of 'Casino Royale', but to throw out this messy and flash bang action film with a downright boring and far too realistic plot, it just felt top heavy.
I love films that take a realistic turn, Batman Begins being the best example, but with this mediocre plot of water and large deserts with hotels and perverted soldiers inside, this was not meant for James Bond, gone is the smooth and fluid dialogue and controlled action of Daniel Craig's debut, and in its a place an explosive and a cut too many action flick that was a step back, but that doesn't mean its a bad film.
Starting basically where the last film left off, we open with a pulsating chase in Bonds Aston Martin, being pursued through various close call cliffs by Alfa Romeo's, and this sets up the film for what it is, an action rampage. After a betrayal brings Bond and M back to London in an attempt to investigate the organisation known as Quantum, Bond rescues Camille (Olga Kurylenko) who was the victim of a failed assassination from her boyfriend, and main antagonist Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric).
M continues to be weary of Bond after the events of the first film, obersving his continuing reckless and raging behaviour, Daniel Craig expertly carries this film, and for all its failures, he is the one shining light. His ability to convey Bond's emotion through excessive violence is certainly a step away from what is expected of this British spy, but for this realistic nature of conveying human emotion, Craig must be lauded.
There are plenty of set pieces and explosions to rival the Die Hards and Bournes of this world, but this is the faltering moment of the film, because Bond simply isn't an adrenaline junkie or a flat out superhero, he is an MI6 operative doing his job, and Solace seems to forget this.
The writing is spot on, but the plot and story is messy to the point of there being very little point to many of the characters in the film, the appearance of the beautiful Gemma Arterton as MI6 agent Strawberry Fields just seems pointless.
It certainly isn't a bad film, its still miles apart from the later Brosnan days, but it is still unfortunately further a field than Casino Royale, its weak, slow, and sometimes just too much of a good thing.

No where near as good as the previous Bond film. Pretty much lacks in every area - Acting, Plot, Villain sucks, and the action isn't as good either. A bit disapointing imo.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A love letter to Timothy Dalton's 'License to Kill', Quantum is a great action film, but not so much a great Bond film. To be fair, the film's quality isn't it's fault, because of a writer's strike that was going on at the time. Still, there aren't that many girls or gadgets. Simply a boat load of action. If you've seen the trailer, try to imagine an entire movie of just that: Simple, gritty violence. The main villain is forgettable, but where the film shines is it's modern day answer to SPECTRE, Quantum. The name makes little sense, as it literally means 'Amount', but other than that, the film is pretty decent. A good watch for bond junkies, but it may not be worth more than one or two viewings.

The plot is ruined by its eco subtext, which gets tedious and annoying. The villain wasn't sinister at all, he was the sort of guy you'd take out for a beer. The lack of originality is incredibly obvious, the action scenes gave me serious deja vu of the M:I series, and Bond's subplot of his eagerness to avenge Vesper Lynd shamelessly borrows from The Bourne Supremacy. The ending is atrocious, since when would Bond leave the Bond girl stranded in a Bolivian desert town? The gaps in logic are bigger than Jupiter, he puts Vesper's father's corpse in a dumpster instead of having a proper burial, and some random guy comes and fights Bond in a hotel with no connection to the plot whatsoever. Worst of all is the shaky cam and rapid fire editing, which dominated the action making it difficult to watch. The only things giving me points to this movie are Daniel Craig's gritty portrayal of Bond, and the holographic table scene, that's all. Topping Casino Royale was always going to be difficult, but Quantum of Solace doesn't even come close. Expand

I am not a fan of old Bond - I loved Casino Royale, and think that this film really stands up as a sequel to it. I liked that it had one, clear plot, and tied in well with Casino. At the end of that film, Bond realizes he has been betrayed by the only woman that he ever let himself love - he responds by shutting his feelings off entirely, and beginning a mad quest for revenge. The action scenes are smart and quick, and Olga Kurylenko as Camila is extremely beautiful, but also very interesting with a subplot of her own. There are so many small character building moments in this film, and the villain leads us to believe that there is a sinister Bilderberg type group pulling the strings for all of these coups in major countries. Nice to see Felix back again, and the political intrigue parts of the film were sharp. M's maternal relationship with Bond is subtly expanded upon. The Opera scene is flipping brilliant. Overall, I think that this is one of my favorite action movies of all time, and honestly it's super underrated. Expand

A decent film but it does not manage to compensate for its bland concept. The story is uninspired and all about the film seems like a standard formula. All in all, the film is okay but still one of the weaker Bonds.

This movie is a toss-up since License to Kill. A corny and weak plot so unimaginable winds up being concentrated on something else. Also the movie is short despite five good action scenes and there's nothing else special in this one.

Loses a lot of the emotion of Casino Royale as well as character development and story. Villain is forgettable and finale underwhelming. Still, far from a bad movie especially in the sea of below average action movies out today.

Not even the writers themselves could keep up with the plot. There's no problem with the action sequences and Daniel Craig is spot on, but at one point, Bond is poisoned. The poison doesn't seem to affect him in the next scene. Big oops.

Not that the actor does not do a good job with the material he had. Craig and Dench save the film with their stellar performances in their roles, and Craig especially in his role as the brooding, vengeful Bond. On the whole, it just feels confused as to what it wants to be, but its entertaining enough to hold your attention. Oh, and the song for this film is awful. Roll on Skyfall. Expand

I am a huge Bond fan. I have read the Flemming novels and I have seen all movies. Quantum of Solace is my favourite Bond movie by a mile.
It has everything that you could want from a bond film. Awesome action, excellent acting, hot Bond girls, a realistic plot and a realistic villain with a genius plan. The car chase and fight scene are better shot and easier to follow than anything in the Bourne films. They're hard hitting and thrilling to watch.
It pays homage to most of the great early movies like Goldfinger and The Spy Who Loved Me.
Sean Connery played Bond just like the character in the Flemming novels but Daniel Craig is by far the best actor to ever portray Bond. He looks classy and he kicks ass when he needs to. Highly recommended.
