When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Firstly, opening sequence picking right from where Casino Royale ended. Incredible car chase. Stunningly filmed. Puts a massive smile on your face. And a set grimace on Bond's, which is carried through the movie. Put into perspective, Casino Royale started the franchise over. Fresh start with a fresh faced Bond, new to the 00 business. This one puts him right where he should be; rose coloured lenses smashed, and trying to sort his head out in this world of agents, double agents, being used, and using people. Takes a hard soul to survive, and Daniel Craig is excellent, taking us on a journey where we see Bond trying to get comfortable in his skin. If us as an audience are left uncomfortable, good. This is how we are supposed to feel, empathising with a character who inhabits a nightmarish world, but must come out as the hero. Which he does, closing the circle of guilt left through Vesper's death, and leaving the path clear for Skyfall. This movie is like Empire in Star Wars, a dark mid chapter which is needed in order to develop characters and lead to a resolution only to be delivered by the next movie. Seen on its own, it can feel out of place; but as part of the 007 cannon, a great foundation from which all further stories will grow and develop. Enjoy it.

A promising direct sequel to the classic 2006 Casino Royale, is what fans hoped for, but sadly not. Quantum of Solace lacks what made Casino Royale a noteworthy reboot to the Bond series. Solace basically covers all the areas of flaws from fast and lazily edited action scenes to fast and lazy pacing - followed by poor production material. It was no doubt, a rushed project. Though, the whole intriguing background of the Quantum organisation (the main worldwide terrorist organisation in the movie) is interesting and offers many expectations, there doesn't seem to be enough here to arouse satisfaction, as the movie also suffers from lack of character development. Also, the new villain Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu Amalric, is a top member of Quantum and an oil businessman, but no were near one of the finest Bond villains. Given its shortened run-time of 104 minutes (making it the shortest Bond movie to date), there's not even enough development for familiar faces returning from Casino Royale: Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, Jesper Christensen and Giancarlo Giannini. Overall, Quantum of Solace was rushed due to the Writer's Strike of 2007-08. Following the success of the next Bond movies, Skyfall and SPECTRE, there will always be another Bond adventure!

This movie is,well disappointing compared to Casino Royale,not as bad as many people say.First,the good,the score and cinematography are still great.The locations are good,and look beautiful.The Bond girl is awesome,it is cool that she doesn't actually fall in love with Bond(given the events of the last film)and her backstory was interesting,I liked how it connected her to the villain.The pacing was decent as well.The biggest pro,the action,while the editing does get bad at times,I personally think that the fast paced editing makes the action more exciting.Now,the cons,while I did like the action in the film,the CGI for the film was awful.The fact that this is a direct sequel,I liked in other films(such as the original Halloween II),here it seems pointless,as no characters have changed since the last movie.Sadly,James Bond himself is one of the problems,he just feels emotionless,all of his charm is lost,he just stands there and kills everyone in his way.The villain,he is barely in it,and while his plan is unique,he is in no way memorable or intimidating.The biggest con,the tone,it feels like a generic action movie,and a Bourne ripoff,so every time humor is attempted,it feels forced,and the movie just seems emotionless.Quantum of Solace is not as bad as you would think based on the reviews as it has a great Bond girl and action scenes,but it has a bad villain,soulless feel,and a bad portrayal of the James Bond character.

Directed by Marc Forster and produced by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, it has script by Robert Wade, Neal Purvis and Paul Haggis. This is the twenty-second movie of the franchise and is the second film in the new era of James Bond, embodied by the participation of Daniel Craig as 007. It inherits the central cast from the previous film, to which joins Olga Kurylenko, in the role of bond-girl Camille, Gemma Arterton, in the role of Strawberry Fields, Mathieu Amalric in the role of villain, Dominic Greene, and Joaquín Cosio in the role of General Medrano.In this film, James Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper, killed by Quantum, a mysterious criminal organization that seeks to manipulate governments and control natural resources. In the process, however, he will have to act on his own, even going against MI6's orders to destroy this criminal syndicate.This is one of the Bond movies I understand worse due to its complexity. It's so complicated and intricate that it becomes incomprehensible. But it's also true that, after the success of "Casino Royale" (which this film follows up), it would be difficult to obtain similar results. Despite the incomprehensibility, i enjoy the way that it approaches the value of water and ecological issues and concerns. Daniel Craig continues to play his role brilliantly, giving realism and credibility to the British agent. The interpretations of Mathieu Amalric and Joaquín Cosio also deserve congratulations, especially the latter one, which could become truly repellent with his sexist behavior and total disregard for women. However, Olga Kurylenko didn't satisfy me: her interpretation is very positive but her character is too ambiguous: she was a great help to Bond, she touched the audience with her story, but she isn't attractive enough to be a bond-girl. The opening sequence didn't surprised, despite Alicia Keys collaboration on the song "Another Way to Die"
