Amazon.co.uk Review
Daniel Craig hasn't lost a step since Casino Royale--this James Bond remains dangerous, a man who could earn that license to kill in brutal hand-to-hand combat… but still look sharp in a tailored suit. And Quantum of Solance itself carries on from the previous film like no other 007 movie, with Bond nursing his anger from the Casino Royale storyline and vowing blood revenge on those responsible. For the new plot, we have villain Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), intent on controlling the water rights in impoverished Third World nations and happy to overthrow a dictator or two to get his way. Olga Kurylenko is very much in the "Bond girl" tradition, but in the Ursula Andress way, not the Denise Richards way. And Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, and Giancarlo Giannini are welcome holdovers. If director Marc Forster and the longtime Bond production team seem a little too eager to embrace the continuity-shredding style of the Bourne pictures (especially in a nearly incomprehensible opening car chase), they nevertheless quiet down and get into a dark, concentrated groove soon enough. And the theme song, "Another Way to Die," penned by Jack White and performed by him and Alicia Keys, is actually good (at times Keys seems to be channeling Shirley Bassey--nice). Of course it all comes down to Craig. And he kills. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com

 Total Embarrassment, 2010-02-10
No way round it - this is a very poor film but not in an ironic way like some of the earlier Bonds. Just pretentious, bad and dull. Hopefully they will pull it back with the next.
Not up there with casino royale but still well worth watching, 2010-02-03
Any sequel to the superb casino royale will have a very hard time beating it. Well produced and tightly executed film, but rambling with no definate direction. Story had the potential to be a stomping flick, but glaring opportunities to take advantage of the cinematic effects of modern technology were missed and made it unmemorable for a technical person like me.
 Quantum leap? Not quite., 2010-03-02
This latest 'Bond Film' contains most of the ususal 007 ingredients of action ,suttle violence and a far darker Bond than last time. Each time they change the Bond actor the films seem to change content to suit the nature of the actor.
The storyline is good but the film gathered mixed reviews which mainly praised Craig's gritty performance and the film's action sequences while feeling that Quantum of Solace was not as impressive as the predecessor Casino Royale. It is also the second highest grossing James Bond film, without adjusting for inflation, making $586,090,727 worldwide, while becoming one of the highest grossing Bond films domestically. I enjoyed it but you need to see it to make your own mind up. the purchase of this film is better idea rather than rental due to eceptionally good prices to be found.
Quantum of Solace [DVD] [2008]
 Not a Bond film, 2010-02-06
Clearly the success of Casino Royale went to their heads. Royale was a well-executed and slick update of the Bond franchise - Quantum is just a derivative action movie.
What annoyed me most were the camera angles - I felt dizzy during a number of the action sequences and there was just too much going on in front of my eyes - all at the expense of an actual plot.
Everyone has their view about what the worst Bond film is - and for me it's this one.
Newest Bond movie, 2010-02-10
This is the first "follow on " film in the Bond series. I wasn't sure it would work, but it was a fantastic movie and you could easily watch it without having watched the previous one
