Consensus: Brutal and breathless, Quantum Of Solace delivers tender emotions along with frenetic action. Not as good as franchise reboot Casino Royale, but still an impressive entry to the Bond canon.

Fast, furious, but not much fun. Lighten up, James.

For today's cultural climate, it cleverly features the ultimate corporate villain, Mr. Greene, who masquerades as eco-friendly green.

Wait. Be patient.The action happens in 'Quantum of Solace.' It just takes some time to get going. About three seconds.

Here's an idea: get Adam Shankman to do the next one, from a script by Akiva Goldsman--let's see Bond wriggle out of that one.

This time around, Bond's biggest adversaries are those behind the camera.

Now that 007 has got Vesper out of his system, maybe we'll get a Bond flick that doesn't just smolder but is genuinely combustible.

It's ironic: After all these years of surviving everything that has been thrown at him, James Bond is finally being undone by his own team.

Daniel Craig's James Bond is already expected to shoulder the karmic burden of more than four full decades of PG-13 callousness.

Owes more of a karmic debt, in stylistic terms, to Paul Greengrass' Bourne Supremacy than to the amused elegance of Sean Connery.

The movie rarely lets up with elaborately orchestrated big budget excitement.

A rather solid action flick, but it's barely Bond.

Will be remembered for the missing ingredients of the cocktail we know as Bond, and for the quantum of special entertainment it only partially provides us.

This is a decent spy thriller on an adult level. The tone is downbeat, but it is still one of the best in the series.

Tries to copy the breathlessness of the Bourne franchise.

"Quantum of Solace" will satisfy most Bond fans. But (it) is more of a set-up for what is to come and more than anything it whets your appetite for future missions.

The evolution of James Bond... continues, and the studio is taking no chances with their secret agent reboot by building on their already-successful foundation.

[Craig] seems rigidified, with no more inner life than a mechanical action figure.
