Critic Reviews

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    It's ironic: After all these years of surviving everything that has been thrown at him, James Bond is finally being undone by his own team.

  • A.O. Scott, New York Times

    Quantum of Solace prompts the question: Is revenge the only possible motive for large-scale movie heroism these days?

  • Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

    Quantum of Solace is a model of mediocrity, even though Daniel Craig gives his all to a production that doesn't deserve him.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    The Quantum of Solace filmmakers have produced a super-serious, often visually incoherent travelogue of revenge and trumped-up angst.

  • Dana Stevens, Slate

    Forster, a director of upscale tearjerkers, has no feel for action sequences. The big chases, of which there are several, could all be replaced with a title card reading, 'Insert action here'.

    I may be one of the few but i like Daniel Craig as Bond. I think they have done a good job so far keeping the throttle all the way on high and keep the explosions coming. Its a standard Bond fare which has to be taken in a very much reboot fashion over just continuing the 007 movies… More

    Quantum of Solace is best seen a day after watching the much better Casino Royale for the sole reason to know who the characters are and the events that take place and the reasons behind all of that. In Quantum of Solace, the filmmakers expect the audience to already know details and… More

    Definitely worse than it's predecessor, Casino Royale, this movie lacks in all of its aspects except for the action. There is a scene that really bothered me because of the fact that it was completely ripped off of the excellent Bourne Ultimatum... but it is so well shot and… More

    Its james bond not an oscar masterpiece. The action was tight and the story was loose like it always is. Not that bad.

  • moon r


    All the Bond elements are here: the international unscrupulous villain who favors tuxedo parties, some arguments with the home team over unorthodox methods, and some international ladies of unquestionable virtue. The update? This Bond is not trying to suave 'em into submission.… More
