One of the SLOWEST Bond movies ever!! Sure, the action sequences are mind-blowing and Olga's charm (would) never fail me.
I prefer Pierce-Brosnan-era-Bond (not too cheesy and not too "serious/dull").Just an average action movie,...

I've never been a James Bond fan, but there is something about the Daniel Craig Bond, probably the fact it is so "un-Bond" that I like. I always found the uber-suave, never seem to truly get into any "real" danger made him inaccessible for me to really root for 007, but with the more raw kind of coldness to Bond that Daniel Craig gives, it somehow makes for a more interesting character.

"Quantum of Solace" kind of seems a bit by the book. Set-piece action sequences are interconnected via short snappy expositions culminating in a big conclusion, victory for Bond and death to the villain. I wouldn’t expect anything less, and I'd never really expect much more. For what is was, I liked it a lot.

Own It - "A slick movie that continues a great direction for 007 to head."

Daniel Craig is the man, the reboot of James Bond to a more grounded character with flaws to which we will get to see him grow into the bond we all know. I love the action and rawness of the new James Bond!!!!!

  Quantum, thanks to a deft blend of exotic escapism and bare-bones modernism, is more than strong enough to be judged on its own. In fact, it's the perfect Bond film.

  As with "The Dark Knight," the only real caveat is that while it's exciting and imaginative, it's not exactly anyone's idea of fun. To keep in the game, perhaps the next movie could let the hero enjoy himself a bit more.

  The new picture allows hardly any flourishes of style and character in the 007 tradition, but moviegoers seeking an adrenaline rush will be well pleased.

  It's a grim, dark, and relentlessly violent film throughout; James Bond as Terminator rather than Templar - but it delivers the goods in bloody high style: explosively, sexily, and with 007 shaken (not stirred) to his icy core.

  The point is, wherever he is, this James Bond is pissed. And that ceaseless anger begins to curdle every sequence that might otherwise bring a little happiness. I mean happiness for us, the viewers.

  The movie is a relentlessly enjoyable star vehicle and a hard-charging action-o-rama full of the usual Bondian elements, for the most part well done. It's one of the year's better action films.

  The least erotic, exotic, luxurious and sarcastic Bond film ever made. Its hero is haunted, obsessed, merciless, cold. There are no gadgets or flippant one-liners and there's almost no sex.

  After the heights of "Casino Royale," the series falls back into routine with this above-average thriller, filled with over-the-top action, familiar Bond atmosphere and a story that's impossible to follow - and why bother anyway? Daniel Craig is still the coolest man in the universe. That definitely helps.

  Revenge is a dish best served with bullets, high explosives and giant rolling flameballs. In Quantum of Solace, James Bond orders the revenge buffet, deluxe.

  The purpose of the Bond girl, and of the Bond film, is still to stroke the male ego. Bond changes just enough to stay exactly the same.

  Craig never overreaches, and yet he accomplishes the unthinkable. He's not the Bond we ever asked for or hoped for, yet he's reimagined the character in ways we never could have foreseen. He's Bond with soul.

  Quantum of Solace is too savage for family entertainment, but, as a study in headlong desperation, it's easier to believe in than many more ponderous films.

  Kurylenko, a lovely Russian-Ukrainian hybrid who is oddly duskied up to look vaguely Latina, is a whiz at raising Quantum's temperature and gradually luring Bond out of his stolid shell.
