(51 - 61) of 61 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Prev < Page   12   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 C+ "Not as good as "Casino Royale" was, but it is as good as many Bond films."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten "As an action movie, Quantum of Solace is solid, albeit nothing memorable. But this is James Bond."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3.5/5 "A rather solid action flick, but it's barely Bond."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg "The truly amazing achievement is that - after all these years and all the bad puns, self-parody, and formulaic regurgitation - the new Bond films manage to make the audience take 007 seriously again, instead of smirking at the same-old-same-old."   Cinefantastique   Steve Biodrowski 3/4 "Three years ago, before Casino Royale, Quantum would have been a pretty good Bond flick. Two pair isn't a bad hand. It's just anticlimactic after a royal flush."   Christianity Today   Steven D. Greydanus 8/10 "While action-packed and eye-popping, without the mischievous 007 wit and iconic catchphrases, Craig's tight-lipped superspy emerges as a humorless, vengeful killing machine."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 5/10 "I don't need the producers of the James Bond series to turn their superspy into a Jason Bourne clone... and if that weren't frustrating enough, they haven't even done it very well."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 0.5/4 "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."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3/4 "While it's a severe step back from Casino Royale, Quantum is a solid effort that looks more at the vengeful, dark side of bond."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 3/4 "'Quantum of Solace' still has enough substance to keep you engaged and happy to see Bond again."   BlackFilm.com   Wilson Morales  (51 - 61) of 61 OFCS Rating: 57% Rotten Prev < Page   12
