Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Aodhanrooney A promising direct sequel to the classic 2006 Casino Royale, is what fans hoped for, but sadly not. Quantum of Solace lacks what made Casino Royale a noteworthy reboot to the Bond series. Solace basically covers all the areas of flaws from fast and lazily edited action scenes to fast and lazy pacing - followed by poor production material. It was no doubt, a rushed project. Though, the whole intriguing background of the Quantum organisation (the main worldwide terrorist organisation in the movie) is interesting and offers many expectations, there doesn't seem to be enough here to arouse satisfaction, as the movie also suffers from lack of character development. Also, the new villain Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu Amalric, is a top member of Quantum and an oil businessman, but no were near one of the finest Bond villains. Given its shortened run-time of 104 minutes (making it the shortest Bond movie to date), there's not even enough development for familiar faces returning from Casino Royale: Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, Jesper Christensen and Giancarlo Giannini. Overall, Quantum of Solace was rushed due to the Writer's Strike of 2007-08. Following the success of the next Bond movies, Skyfall and SPECTRE, there will always be another Bond adventure!

zkonedog For 40+ years, from Dr. No to Die Another Day and Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan, the James Bond formula remained basically the same: The gun-barrel opening, a lot of action, Bond says a few catchphrases ("Bond, James Bond" and "Shaken, Not Stirred"), Bond gets the girl, and the film ends with the James Bond theme pounding in the background.A few years ago, however, a new Bond (Daniel Craig) brought a new formula (prequel) to the Bond franchise with Casino Royale, a gripping film that satisfies action fans as well as provides all the traditional Bond landmarks (albeit some in their inaugural forms) as described above. As Casino Royale ended, audiences were left feeling as if the "Craig Bond" was well on his way to becoming the Bond we know and love.The trouble is, the ending of Quantum of Solace does the EXACT same thing...with little to no character development to back it up. For a basic plot summary, Bond spends the entire film trying to gain a measure of revenge for the death of Vesper, his girlfriend, in Casino Royale. A lot of fast cars, unbelievable chase scenes, and M-defying later, and supposedly Bond has reconciled his past and now able to move forward.Unfortunately, nothing particularly engaging happened during that time to make me believe as if Bond really is a changed man. I think the problem is that Craig is never really allowed to wildly emote in a vengeful fashion...he harbors the same stoic expression the entire film. I would have loved to have seen a Matthew Fox-esque emotive rant that LOST fans have come to appreciate, but it just never happened. The strange thing is that it wasn't just overshadowed by the crazy action scenes...those were pretty much balanced for a Bond film. Just no emotion whatsoever.Thus, while I appreciate this film's goal of trying to allow Bond to move on from his greatest tragedy, it just doesn't work. I would actually rather see a Bond film such as "Tomorrow Never Dies" or "The World Is Not Enough", installments that were heavy on the schtick and light on the plot, than this heavy film that didn't really get me excited until the Bond theme blared before the end credits.Die-hard Bond fans will watch this film regardless of what I say, but this is a movie that you can skip and really not miss any of the early-Bond character development that was so compelling in Craig's first Bond effort.

musapuff I don't know what to think of James Bond anymore. I longer I watch, the more I feel the movie lacks substance. It's just all action action action. For example, every possible chasing scene was explored in this one. There was a chase by car, by foot, by boat, and then by plane. Yes I admit the action sequences are visually great to look at, but if you take away the action, there's not that much left of the film. If only there's a plot twist or more suspense in the actual story.And compared with other spy movies (such as Mission Impossible series), James Bond doesn't even have much cool tech. Yes, James Bond is cool in the sense he's ruthless. But almost everyone he meets dies. Either he kills them or others kill them. He steals, he squanders money on luxurious lifestyle, and he leads women on. He's very costly, in both money and human resources, to maintain! Yet strangely enough, he's still awfully popular. I say it's got to be those suits and being British.
