It may lack the grandeur and substance of Casino Royale, but Quantum of Solace is nevertheless a unique and thrilling Bond film and one hell of a good time. Thanks to Craig's confident and commanding performance, Forster's visual sensibilities, and an array of breathtaking action sequences, Quantum of Solace succeeds in continuing to reboot the Bond franchise for a new era.

The failing was all in the script. I dug Forster's style, pretty much like I always do the guy knows how to make incredible shots. Daniel Craig was excellent as Bond once agaib, I was really digging the pissed off fuck the world and everyone who gets in my way approach. Some of the better Bond girls we've seen in a while but they way mishandled Agent Fields. The villain was interesting as well but under developped That being said the story was crap and the action while well shot were generic and not very bondish, oh and I really want that Parachute WTF lol, those who have seen it will know what I'm talking about.

I'd give it a 7/10 better than all tham all the 90s Bonds not named Goldeneye

I disagree. The action wasn't well shot in my opinion. The script was terrible too, but I thought the action sequences were one of the biggest problems too. It was a barrage of nice looking film school shots and artsy faire, cut rapidly. It wasn't competent action directing.

You'll find competent action directing in T2 or Raiders of the Lost Ark. It should cut often, but only when neccesary and allow the people watching to know whats going on in each shot/the scene as a whole. It shouldn't induce seizures. It's part of the new school fad of frantic action and I don't think it works very well, at least not for this picture.
The director of Finding Neverland and Monsters Ball directing a bond movie is a competent director, but not a competent action director and ultimately a poor choice.

Also, it shouldn't be so heavy on action sequences to begin with. It's Bond, not Eraser.

It felt like it was attempting to be Bourne. But I still liked it. With the exception of Goldeneye, it was better than any brosnan bond film.

I liked this a lot. My only issue was the camera work, but I liked the movie a lot in general. Definitely not as good as Casino Royale, but better than any Brosnan film hands down (with exception of Goldeneye of course)

That may be true, but that seems like a weak reason for it to be good. those are awful, and this may be better, but that still doesn't make it good in my mind.

Hardly a defense in my mind. They're in the minority critically as well, if we're going to go down that aisle.


I respect that some of you like it, I'm merely arguing my case for it sucking.

Yeah. They may as well hire Greengrass and the writers of the Bourne movies.

It tried very hard, Craig was great again but when you have to compete against a piece of entertainment like The Bourne Ultimatum this just doesn't cut it.

Agree 100%

Casino Royale breathed new life into the franchise, and set a very high standard that was always going to be hard to match, but like others have said, the script let this movie down.

Pretty average. Horribly boring villain. They should have had Fields as the main Bond girl, liked her much more than Camille, who was just bland. The action was too much (the plane scene in particular, felt endless).

I wish they'd get back to super badass villains with killer henchmen. As much as I liked Casino Royale, it was still Bond vs. an accountant. And this is Bond vs..... I don't even know what. Generic Business Man.

Basically the actors saved the flick. Craig, Dench, Jeffrey Wright, Giancarlo Gianni. Really the only reasons to see this.

At least she was halfway passable as an actress. Gemma Arterton is shockingly awful.

I was thinking since the gun barrel sequence was at the end it probably signifies that this movie was just part of the development of Bond and his revenge and he will be back to work as usual in the next one. With the normal gun barrel shit at the beginning, Q, gadgets and so forth.
