Quantum, thanks to a deft blend of exotic escapism and bare-bones modernism, is more than strong enough to be judged on its own. In fact, it's the perfect Bond film.
Revenge is a dish best served with bullets, high explosives and giant rolling flameballs. In Quantum of Solace, James Bond orders the revenge buffet, deluxe.

Saw this again today 2020, loved it. The films actions scenes are insane from minute one till end, Daniel did such a great job in all action scenes. I love hi. As Bond!! No holes in the plot. The politics of the plot kept you interested. Daniel .C does not disappoint. Super entertaining and wonderful shots of Italy. Must watch.

I watched this movie with skepticism but was truly surprised and happy with the end result. The action sequences are sublime and the story is more than entertaining. Bond is well represented and well played. I may be a minority for loving this film but I feel it has everything that makes the Bond character amazing. Love the movie from start to finish!

Craig never overreaches, and yet he accomplishes the unthinkable. He's not the Bond we ever asked for or hoped for, yet he's reimagined the character in ways we never could have foreseen. He's Bond with soul.
This is 007 in mid-story crisis; a festival of blaring action set-pieces propping up a scrappy script and undercooked characters.
Updating this anachronistic cash cow with the scrappy and sexy Craig still looks like a wise move, but it requires a greater quantum of style than Solace provides.
A sequel that immediately picks up the plot of its predecessor, and then proceeds to drive the redeemed franchise right off the deep, dark end.
A spastic, indecipherable, unholy, and altogether unwatchable mess.
I'll tell you straight! The film Quantum of Solace is not for everyone. Those who watched movies as a child because of the steep Bond shootouts, chases, fights will be very upset because of their absence. And those who watched them because the story will be completely satisfied. You can also recommend this film to those who did not sign with the Bond. They will appear in this film a masterpiece. I belong to the latter. So I put it the highest rating.

Out of 25 Bonds I saw, I place this one at 17/25.
Quantum of Solace, apart from having a title that makes everyone ask "what the hell?" has pretty much nothing of note.
It follows up on Casino Royale's storyline of Craig's Bond being a lonely child that needs love. He still seeks revenge for his girlfriend's loss. He still gets M to be his surrogate mommy.
I never personally liked that side of Craig's movies too much, and it really lingers over Quantum, since it drives the plot.
But plot aside, the bigger issue is that Quantum's "villain" is not even worth remembering. Mathieu Amalric doesn't exactly **** entirely, but **** villain is supposed to be impressive, or frightening, in his case, the only feeling is "uneasy" at best, or rather "creepy". Also, he's almost not the villain here, since the real villain of Quantum is an incompetent american administration. So a weak villain that only feels creepy at best is supported by a CIA agent being a complete tool.
Rebellious teenager Craig/Bond in need of love faces that terrible opposition, and with a villain and girl that overall do not really strike as characters (or as actors), the movie just sort of wallows from action scene to murder scene, because it's also one of the most violent and murderous Bond movies.
At some point, there is a genuinely well-acted and well-written scene that I almost felt something for does come, and a tragic death full of pathos does happen. And I genuinely wanted to feel for it, because it had everything to be good. Sadly, since it was in this movie, it just fell flat, or rather, the plot, actions, events, and everything surrounding that scene, made it fall flat.
Quantum is a flat movie which, even when it shines, fails to bring attachment. See it only if you care about continuity between Casino Royale and Skyfall.
