October 2, 2009It?s not the worst ever Bond Film. That's mainly because its barely a Bond film and Die another day was awful. Everyone seems to have liked Casino Royale apart from me but I think people are starting to realise that this franchise has taken a turn for the worst as Quantum of Sola...( read more)

September 30, 2009I'll stick to "Casino Royale" if I want to watch a "Daniel Craig" Bond movie...Absolutely disappointing compared to the first go-round. Too bad, considering the trailer was awesome!
-
August 29, 2009A very good action film continuing right on from Casino Royale. Plenty of action, chases and explosions. Has a certain Bourne Trilogy feel to a lot of the stunts and fights. The Bond films now are more gritty, raw without the tongue in cheek humour of the past films. One for all ...( read more)

July 15, 2009a change of director in marc forster who's done some pretty solid films already brings about an average bond movie with some stunning action sequences. unfortunately with daniel craig i think average is the best that can be hoped for. the best part was the ending. despite any fau...( read more)

November 20, 2009"I needed some solace and a quantum of vodka after this slight disappointment" says Brett Warren of whosinthenews...
Every film, tv and book franchise has their absolute purists and Bond is surely no exception. With over four decades worth of material people have a very clear pe...( read more) -

November 17, 2009Just as good as Casino Royale, Daniel Craig proves again that he is the best Bond ever. His acting is phenomenal which I think is something special for a Bond movie. His rampage throughout the movie to get revenge was amazing, between him stabbing people with toenail clippers and...( read more)

November 12, 2009Quantum of Solace is really quite a let-down. Especially when compared with the comeback of Casino Royale, Quantum's storyline is confusing, the quality of the film-making is below par. An emotionless performance from Olga Kurylenko does not help. The standout was Gemma Arterton ...( read more)

Despite its faults, I can still say with relative assurance this is the best Bond film since "Thunderball." full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Quantum of Solace prompts the question: Is revenge the only possible motive for large-scale movie heroism these days? full review
November 14, 2008
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Quantum of Solace is best when director Marc Forster allows his star the latitude to explore emotions that, until Craig stepped into the shoes of the character, we didn't know Bond had. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
If you held up your thumb over Daniel Craig's face and took in the mayhem around him, you'd think you were watching The Bourne Simulation rather than the 22nd (and shortest-ever) ode to Ian Fleming's ... full review

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Frankly, Quantum of Solace is just one exasperated dressing down away from being Lethal Weapon 9. full review

Michael Sragow, The Baltimore Sun
An entertaining mess full of jarring editing and artsy touches. full review
November 13, 2008
Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
Solace turns 007 into a bore. Even worse, he's a bore with once killer moves that are impossible to appreciate viewed through Forster's distorted touch. full review
November 13, 2008
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Not every director is well-suited to Bondland. "There's something horribly efficient about you," Kurylenko says to Craig at one point. The same goes for the film. full review
November 13, 2008
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
It delivers the goods in bloody high style: explosively, sexily, and with 007 shaken (not stirred) to his icy core. full review

January 19, 2009Worst ever Bond film. Action scenes were stilted, too fast, couldn't see what was going on flicking from scene to scene. Rubbish villian stealing water! Good aeroplane sequence but the rest was tosh. Casino Royale was superb, i almost walked out of this one. Dud.

December 29, 2008Daniel Craig did a killer job as the new Bond!! I perfered this one over the first one. You never know what's going to happen to Bond. But, no matter what kind of situation Bond get's into, he's alwasys able to get himself out of!! It might seem as Bond is at the end but, he always turns the tables on the "bad guy". So, to conclud my output on Bond,
HE KICKS SERIOUS BOOTY!! -

November 24, 2008I'll say the same thing I just said in my review>>
This is the worst James Bond movies EVER!!!
It would be a bad movie if it wasn't a Bond movie.
It had alot of action and I still actually fell asleep a couple times.
I woke up the last time finding out the plot of this wretched movie.
A secret society that MI6 knows nothing about buys in a Dictator in south America and aquires land to take control of the water supply so they can then charge double as south America's only utilitys provider!!!
I would have Given this Movie a half star but the action was good but the Plot was so bad I couldn't rate it any higher then 1 star.
Don't get me wrong, I like Bond movies but this is pathetic. -

November 12, 2008Rubbish for the most part. Pigott-Smith had the only good lines, at least.
