He's just getting warmed up in this engaging ride that trounces some of the original Bond outings by leaps and bounds."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari "Blurred, not stirred."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B- "While Casino Royale was the perfect mix of the old and new, Quantum of Solace, while oftentimes thrilling, is more of a downtrodden experience that only shows a sporadic sense of humor."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 2.5/5 "so jam-packed with stuntwork, shootouts, and standoffs that the conspiracy-oriented plot can barely get a word in edgewise."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron 2/4 "The novelty of the franchise reboot hasn't so much worn off as been squandered on a scenario lacking in genuine thrills and long on ill-advised navel-gazing."   Slant Magazine   Bill Weber "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?"   Kinetofilm   Brian Holcomb D "Solace turns 007 into a bore. Even worse, he's a bore with once killer moves that are impossible to appreciate viewed through Forster's distorted touch."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf "...the plot is just so much noise in the end, somehow both over- and underdone."   PopMatters   Chris Barsanti B- "Although not as good as Craig's initial outing as Bond in "Casino Royale," "Quantum of Solace" signals better things to come for the baddest spy in cinema."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "This year's Bond Villain means to make a mint off water."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "'Quantum of Solace' has all the bone-breaking stunt work of its predecessor but lacks some of the brain and the heart that made 'Casino Royale' work so well."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger A- "This movie is great - just not in any of the ways you'd expect."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 1.5/4 "...a misguided, downright interminable piece of work that surely marks the nadir of the James Bond series..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B- "The 22nd film in the James Bond series is a passable Bond thriller."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "The plot's development is obvious and then ridiculous, and the numerous fights and chases all begin to look alike after a while."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman A- "Despite its faults, I can still say with relative assurance this is the best Bond film since "Thunderball.""   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens 2/5 "(...) 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."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B- "This is a lesser Bond outing, squandering some of the potential suggested by its predecessor but still worth seeing for its energetic fight scenes and chase sequences."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "It will be curious to see how Casino Royale enthusiasts react to Quantum of Solace. Their action palette will certainly be quenched but they may be thirsty again immediately after."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress "If only [Bond] had a villain as self-reflective as Heath Ledger's Joker to ask 'Why so serious?'"   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. "Dismal and unexciting"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce B- "Has a rather anonymous feel...but it's certainly a well-oiled action machine, delivering the high-adrenaline goods even though the cheeky style that made the series distinctive is gone."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "Tries to copy the breathlessness of the Bourne franchise."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 50/100 "Fresh on the T-Meter, but just barely. It's evident that Forster is out of his element at the helm."   Film and Felt   Gabe Leibowitz B+ "Owes more of a karmic debt, in stylistic terms, to Paul Greengrass' Bourne Supremacy than to the amused elegance of Sean Connery."   Modern Fabulousity   Gabriel Shanks 2.5/4 "This is the least satisfying production since The Living Daylights."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "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"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "In Casino Royale, Daniel Craig brought Bond back to the big screen; in Quantum of Solace, everyone around Craig brings bland back to Bond."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 8/10 "Click here to read review"   Kinoblog.com   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 2/4 "Craig is the sole reason Quantum of Solace passes muster."   Cinema Writer   Jay Antani 3/4 "Daniel Craig brings a fierce edge to his iconic super secret agent around which an entire franchise can be built."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "The wall-to-wall action, while quite entertaining, overshadows the refreshed Bond character just enough to make the movie look a little too much like it would rather be about Bourne."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 3/4 "The latest Bond entry is Bourne again - it delivers the action goods, but is it a Bond movie?"   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 3.5/5 "mia astamatiti seira apo ekstatikes skines draseis ekatontadon planon ton trion (me to zori) deyterolepton, merika ap' ta opoia einai pragmatika harma eidesthai kai apo apopsi planothesias, alla kai genikoteris arhitektonikis tis horografias"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "If you're a fan of excessive force (and what red-blooded American moviegoer is not?) you can ride the camera lens right into the baddie's face."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.0/4.0 "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."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4/5 "It's a ton of fun with plenty of action and excitement... While not as perfect as Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace is a worthy follow-up."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 7/10 "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."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "We can only blame Casino Royale. The 2006 reboot of James Bond was so brilliant, so satisfying, so organically of the moment that it could only prove hard to top, and even hard to equal."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "Will have viewers looking for the next Bond adventure in a couple of years."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 1.5/4 "With the possible exception of Licence to Kill, this is the worst Bond movie ever."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "More like "The Bond Ultimatum," this is the Bournization of Bond. This Bond is almost feral. He is seldom sure but he never, ever stops."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow C "A brisk, grim story that might as well have been called Monotony of Tone."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 3/5 "Muitas locações para pouca história."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "A fairly non-descript action extravaganza that may excite those who only want to see 100 minutes of anonymous chases and explosions but which will leave those in the mood for an authentic Bond film feeling anything but shaken and stirred."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "An intriguingly internalised central plot and outrageously exhilarating action"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 1/5 "Incomprehensible, blandly motivated, and flat-out dull."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 1.5/4 "This time around, Bond's biggest adversaries are those behind the camera."   Suite101.com   Rob Humanick B "If it doesn't match the very high bar set by Royale, neither does it let the franchise fall unduly far from that mark."   Mania.com   Rob Vaux  (1 - 50) of 60 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   12   > Next
