Turns out to be almost as bad as its title.

REVIEWS FOR QUANTUM OF SOLACE
Quantum of Solace feels more like a competent second act than a stand-alone film.
Aug 30, 2009
Dismal and unexciting
Aug 26, 2009
I'm so turned off by this, I don't even have the energy to trash it. Why should I think of something clever to write? The authors clearly didn't see that as a mandate.
Aug 13, 2009
... Better than the average action movie and I'm still looking forward to future installments. But it falls well short of Casino Royale's greatness.
May 15, 2009
As an action movie, Quantum of Solace is solid, albeit nothing memorable. But this is James Bond.
Apr 1, 2009
If only [Bond] had a villain as self-reflective as Heath Ledger's Joker to ask 'Why so serious?'
Mar 31, 2009
No one wants to watch Bond chase after Osama Bin Laden and switch off his dialysis machine with a bad one liner. On second thought, maybe that would be great?
Mar 29, 2009
Listen to my radio review and montage of Bond clips.
Mar 24, 2009
the tougher, rougher version of Bond as incarnated by Daniel Craig is harder than ever; already a steely and unflappable man of action, he's now driven by anger and vengeance, which turns Craig's flinty blue eyes into razor-sharp ice chips and every actio
Mar 24, 2009
If it wasn't following such an excellent 21st Bond movie, it would be considered a big step forward. Instead, it'll settle for the more modest label of "another good one."
Mar 4, 2009
Quantum of Solace is the most obtuse title of the year. Maybe it means kick-a** action. If so, it's a very apt title. Don't be late arriving at the theater. The pre-opening credit sequence to Quantum of Solace goes just 15 seconds before the
Feb 1, 2009
(...) Dominic Greene es un antagonista anodino, cuya falta de escrúpulos está puesta en palabras pero jamás se siente como una verdadera amenaza, ni para Bond ni para nadie.
Jan 12, 2009
Will have viewers looking for the next Bond adventure in a couple of years.
Dec 27, 2008
Craig is the sole reason Quantum of Solace passes muster.
Dec 24, 2008
Because the much more serious tone was so different than previous installments of Ian Fleming's legendary series, Daniel Craig's debut felt refreshingly updated despite the film's flaws.
Dec 18, 2008
Incomprehensible, blandly motivated, and flat-out dull.
Dec 3, 2008
Quantum makes us understand the importance of a good director, which is sadly absent here.
Dec 2, 2008
A solid sequel for the reinvented franchise.
Dec 1, 2008
There is a plot in Quantum, but so little time is spent on it it's obvious that nobody involved cared very much about it.
