Crushed by disappointment. The villain is some small Frenchguy who wants to steal all the water of some who gives a shit country. Hey asshole, if you want to be a good Bond villain steal something like zinc. Zinc to fuel your lava palace. Who cares.

I tried to like it, but unfortunately, it's one of the most disappointing films of the 2000s. While Casino Royale kickstarted back up the franchise, Quantum of Solace replaces all of the classy Bond lines, formulas and feelings with generic action and a raw, gritty Bond. However, Craig is perfect as usual for the role and it has some decent parts once in a while. All in all quite a letdown.

I really thought that Casino Royale was the best Bond film, and I was extremely pleased with Craig as the new Bond, and he was still charming here, but Quantum of Solace was a huge disappointment. I mean Casino Royale took its time, and built up anticipation, it was an adrenaline rush, whereas this one is just a straight up shoot em up action packed film that was extremely rushed, and didn't make all that much sense. Great action, worth a watch, but dont expect another Casino Royale.

I'm probably one of the few to think this but it is superior to Casino Royale by nearly every measurable metric. There's still no humor which is needed in these films to really make them special but the action is decent and they resolve all of the crappy plot hangups from the previous film to finally be able to move on. Craig's interpretation of Bond is still bizarre and it's a shame he didn't even nail the Bond girl in this, come on bro get your fuck on.

This isn't James Bond. Ebert says it best in his review: "Bond isn't an action star." This is true. James Bond is a spy. Being a spy involves using methods other than violence to achieve your goals. Granted violence is necessary, especially in a James Bond film, but it shouldn't be endless like it is in Quantum of Solace. This movie, to me, is the sweet follow shot of Bond and a henchman falling through glass. Aside from that the villain is terrible and the movie just isn't very good.

I really don't understand people's criticism of this, it's just as solid as 'Casino Royale' as far as I'm concerned---and I rewatched the latter just before seeing 'Quantum...'. The plot is fairly straightforward, and stylistically it perhaps took a few too many cues from 'Bourne', but otherwise it's a solid sequel and a solid action film, more than worth a watch. It's not a masterpiece, but nor was 'Casino...' and nor, probably, was either intended to be.

Equals Casino Royale and a more character driven piece than Casino Royale. No gadgets and over-blown scenes but more of an Art-House piece. Full of realism that really produces one of the best portryals of Bond in a single film for a long while. Stunning cinematography, another great performance by Daniel Craig and one excellent supporting role by Mathieu Almaric. So Underated by many people it's annoying. Having seen every Bond film up until now this is one of my favourites.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh just because this was so dissapointing next to CR. It's a good action flick I guess, but it's barely a Bond movie. The plot is uninteresting, and while I like cold, hard, asshole Bond, he had just the right amount of charm in CR, which he doesnt here. Kurylenko is crazy hot but underutilized, and has little bearing on the plot. Amalric could be good, but doesn't get a chance and isn't menacing at all. Starts strong with great action sequences but fizzles - a lot.

This suffers from having to follow Casino Royale's act. It furthers this problem itself from actually being a direct sequel. People are going to go in and expect Casino Royale 2, but it's not. However, disregard Casino Royale completely and it's actually pretty sweet on it's own. References many older Bond films (Goldfinger reference stands out), which is nice. It feels like more of a return to Bond after Casino Royale's departure from the formula. I really liked it, despite it's flaws.

The directing is clumsy all around. The digital hash of the editing is a familiar shortfall of modern action movies, but Foster's technique has more significant problems. During the action sequences, his camera is usually in too close, occasionally too far away and is rarely in the right place. Plane battles, boat chases, exotic locales, seductive women--it all gets dragged on to the screen, feeling obligatory and lifeless. The movie churns and grinds, to little effect.

The action keeps things moving but that's often because they're so frantically edited it's hard to see exactly what's going on (especially whatever the hell happened w/ the ropes). There are at least 2 chases where Bond makes 1 move & vehicles are inexplicably destroyed. And although all Bond films have plot holes he also does at least 2 totally inexplicable things: he fails to question the beauty who's his best lead & his treatment of Matthis' body just makes him seem like a jerk.

As a stand alone Bond film, it might not be the best, but as a direct follow up to Casino Royale, it's pretty damn good. It's almost like watching a "filler" episode; it helps tie up loose ends and you understand the Bond character a little more. The action felt more brutal, than the kinetic action in Casino Royale, and it made Bond feel human.

Quantum of Solace may not have the same breakthrough impact that Casino Royale had, but after a second viewing I'd have to say I liked it nearly as much. The action is real and the story is just as interesting. Craig is easily as good, if not better than any Bond before him and this second serving with him proves that. This is one of the best action movies of the year and its massive negative criticism, in my opinion, is unwarranted.

After the modernisation and inevitable failure of Casino Royale, this latest incarnation of the famous franchise sinks deeper into the pit of Hollywood over indulgence. Bond has lost his suave, his soundtrack and more importantly his humour and feels more like an overblown Tom Cruise at his worst in MI:2 than anything else. This leaves behind a shell of a production which could be comparible to any highly strung Hollywood action film of the past two decades. Some decent car chases, nothing else.

This was enjoyable, but I ended up disappointed because everyone said it was “too gritty”. I expected some kinda near R rated kill fest, instead I got 00Bourne. That being said I could actually understand most of what was happening here, and Forster steadied the cam during non action scenes. Had this been directed by Paul Greengrass I would’ve likely lowered the score of this. It’ll disappoint hardcore Bond fans, but it’s a decent popcorn flick.

I'm going to go to Hollywood and smack every director who thinks it's a good idea to use this new Bourne Identity/Peter Berg shaky-cam phase as a means to intensify action. It always makes scenes partly or totally incomprehensible. That said, Forster's direction is all over the place, but in spite of the many flaws as compared to the polished Casino Royale, it’s still not a bad Bond flick.

This movie features a footchase, a car chase, a boat chase, and an airplane chase! Needless to say I was exausted after viewing. Craig plays a great Bond maybe my favorite of all time, but where Royale mixed up the Bond universe to make it a little more gritty Solace goes too far beyond it to the point you sometimes forget your watching Bond.

The main criticism I've seen has been that this isn't Casino Royale. Well, boo friggin hoo. Personally, while it does lack some of the things that made CR great, it stands up well on it's own. While the villain is a bit pathetic, the mystery element isn't the main part of it. Bond's quest for comfort in revenge, seeing himself mirrored in his companion, that part is what grabbed me. It's by no means perfect, but still a cut above a lot of the action dross in theatres at the moment.

Frankly this was terrible. I'm not a big Bond fan but was pleasantly surprised to mostly enjoy Casino Royale and expected this to effectively continue in the same vein. In reality, it mixed the weaker aspects of the old films (e.g. largely pointless bond girls) with the weaker aspects of the new (still no gadgets) and the result was utterly boring for this viewer. Even my wife hated it, and she's normally easily pleased by any half way decent spy/action film.

Starts rough, as the movie is a little too desperate to open with a bang. Forster's action has little clarity of vision, and like Nolan in Begins, he uses shaky-cam to mask the fact that he's out of his element. It doesn't work. The film is still very exciting, but it's the quiet moments where it shines: Craig is terrific as Renegade Bond, and Amalric matches him step for step. It doesn't hold up as a stand-alone film, but it's a fine character study, and a solid entry in this franchise reboot.

Don't let its main character fool you: this is more like Jason Bourne's second cousin than James Bond. Not so much a plot than an excuse to homage other Bond films (was that Goldfinger with the oil? From Russia... with the boat chase? etc.) and create one brutal action sequence after another. This script completely fails to take off and its action cannot remain engaging. At least Dame Judi Dench steals her scenes and makes some of the movie interesting.

Whilst an action-packed, beautifully executed follow-up to "Casino Royale" in this new, grittier, more realistic Bond series, one can't help but leave the cinema feeling somewhat dissatisfied. While all the action that may have been missing from the last Bond flick was here, this film was lacking any appreciable plot and character depth - a major flaw in a film that should have been perfect to display Bond's humanity. Entertaining nontheless, but unfortunately I don't see it becoming a classic.

Thrills and excitement throughout. Bond never fails to deliver. Daniel Craig has a great screen presence and Olga Kurylenko is absolutely gorgeous. The story is almost non stop action, intrigue and mayhem. Engaging from beginning to end.

It's clear from very early on that QoS's director, Marc Forster, should not have been the man in charge of this. He has shown a propensity in the past for smaller movies, but with QoS he is lost. As a result, it's a disjointed mess where the action scenes are incomprehensible, the plot is labyrinthine in an uninvolving way, and the characters are uninteresting. It makes sense the interesting character in the movie appears for about 10 minutes before being unceremoniously dumped - twice.

Does build on from Casino Royale as I would have liked or expected. It seems almost sterile, bloodless despitge the well excuted action. I won't criticise it for "not being traditional bond" as some of those were wank (lasers in space? Invisible cars?!) I enjoyed it but it veered very close to being a Bourne knock off and not a film in it's own right. Plus the baddie is a bit wet. Still, if you aren't expecting the equilavent of Dark Knight for Bond, you should get your money's worth.

There are two ways to view this movie. The first is immediately after watching Casino Royale, and the second is on its own. While the acting is top notch, and the movie memorable for having a woman Bond doesn't sleep with, the disjointed action scenes and non-self contained plot make this movie tricky to watch on its own. It still remains a competent action movie without Casino Royale, but suffers unless you watch them together.

For everything the new bond movies give, they take away. Some people applaud the realism. A realistic Bond villain? If there was ever an oxy moron that's it. Green was kinda boring, and small. They keep on hinting that there's a bigger organization behind Quantum. It ultimately makes the movie seem pointless. I'm allright with the new pussy Bond, but they better wrap that up in the next film. But after all, in essence it's still a Bond movie, so see it! (CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!)

"Hey guys! I know how to captivate the viewer! All we have to do is make sure that during the action scenes they have absolutely NO idea what's going on!" Cool story, though.

A boring action movie and a dull Bond film. Casino Royale was far superior and I hope Skyfall will be better.

I was so disapointed in Daniel Craig's latest shot at being Bond. Don't get me wrong ... he still pwned at being 007 ... It was the movie itself I was not thrilled with. After the awesomeness of Casino Royal .. this installment had alot to live up to... Boy did it fall short! I really hope this was plot-building for more films that are on par with the overall quality of Casino Royal.

"Quantum of Solace" is action porn. Sure, it's high-budget porn, but porn nevertheless. There's a rudimentary plot, often hard to follow, that's just a pretext for a sequence of action scenes. Are they good? Are they bad? Does it matter? There are no real stakes, so why get excited? Yes, they're technically well-made but they're also badly directed, as they consist merely of mindless quick-cutting. Bond 22 offers all the pleasures you get from porn: short-lived enjoyment, no satisfaction.

Quantum of Solace isn't as good as Casino Royale, but it certainly isn't bad. None of the elements involved are as good as they were in the previous Bond installment, but they add up to something that is still, for the most part, entertaining. While the action scenes lack tension, the characters have enough emotional depth to make you care for them. It's a mixed bag, for sure, but is still an action film that is enjoyable.

If you're looking to justify the purchase of a Blu-Ray player, look no further than QUANTUM OF SOLACE - it's amazing on the eyes. If you're looking for actual entertainment, look elsewhere.

It worked for me... Yes, these Daniel Craig versions are taking on a serious, and far more realistic tip. But along with that, we're getting better actors at all levels of roles... I also am appreciating the psychological complexity they're injecting, along with relationship dynamics we haven't seen before. Particularly, between Bond and M.(Judi Dench). (Hell, you've hired her! Use her!)

"Directed by Marc Foster". Wait, Marc Foster directed Stranger Than Fiction, why is now directing a Bond's movie? I was skeptic about the final result and I was right about it. Probably the worst car chasing I've ever saw: noisy, full of unnecessary cuts and dubious camera shots. The action scenes aren't any better so much so that in some points it seems that a drunk monkey have started jumping on the editor's keyboard. Topping on the cake: the non-action segments are utterly boring

I don't think that I like James Bond being bothered about some girl from another movie. The whole point behind James Bond is that he is an assassin that has a conscience, but that conscience only comes into play when he gets revenge over the woman that he fucked and then died because he fucked her. All of this story should wrap up in one movie. I guess I am just a James Bond purist. I thought Daniel Craig is a good Bond but he doesn't have much likability. The villain wasn't very good either

There are no gadgets, there is no Q and no Miss Moneypenny, and the adventure and the exotic locations have been stripped away and traded for fast cuts and furious action sequences. But as this is supposed to be the middle part of a trilogy, don't be surprised if Q pops up in the next Bond and the real Bond, James Bond, returns.

It's an anti-Bond movie A Bond movie without the cheesy lines ... without the naked women ... and also sans the usual Bond martini. It's also the only movie where Bond doesn't offer up the "Bond, James Bond" line. In short it was a typical, over-produced Hollywood action film ... with absolutely nothing to offer over any of the other action flicks being churned out

I don't get the hate. I liked how it followed the classic Bond recipe/structure with modern twists to it. The element of going sorta rogue reminds a bit of License to Kill and other Bonds. In a modern take, a bad guy doesn't have to take over the world, he can be causing humanitarian crisis for money, and that message felt fresh. Greene being a slimy coward made him unique. Good action, interesting Bond girl. The black and white and orange-gold esthetic was neat. Intro song sucked.

(2nd viewing) Not the worst Bond ever made but it just feels like they're going through the motions. Right from the start, this is an action heavy entry à la ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ but without a clear vision or interesting story to latch onto. As if the writers were just out of ideas, I mean, we had to endure a full minute of M running her bath and putting on facial cream -- yeah thanks for that!
