Quantum of Solace

Pros: One tough female sidekick for Bond. Judi Dench as M.
Cons: The plot is riddled with as many holes as there are bullets in this one.

When I sit down to take in a James Bond film, I expect that certain things will happen. There'll be some great stunt sequences, pretty women who can sometimes fight with the best of them, and a certain measure of violence that doesn't go too over the ...

Pros: lots of action, Daniel Craig is great, hot new "Bond girls", fast-moving, interesting theme song
Cons: some might not find it fluid-enough, lots of violence, plot a little bigger than story

Quantum of Solace marks the second film that actor Daniel Craig has taken on the title role of James Bond.  At the end of the previous film, Casino Royale, Bond lost the women who he had fallen in love with, even though she had been ...

Pros: Entertaining movie.   Daniel Craig and Judi Dench.  
Cons: Shaky camera work at times.  Villain could have been stronger.

The James Bond movies have been around for many years and gone through changes during that time.  I have seen at least some of most of the movies and enjoyed them.  A decision was made to restart the series, sort of like what was done for the ...

Pros: It's the shortest of the Bond series thus far.
Cons: Bad lead, lame plot, wimpy villains, crap song, incomprehensible editing, and no good bond girls.

Sigh, why did I do this to myself? When I saw Quantum of Solace in the theaters six months ago, I hated it (The specifics I'll get to in a moment), but I thought I'd give it another chance on DVD. Perhaps, I thought, that I would appreciate it ...

Pros: Well acted, tight plot, great action, interesting villain
Cons: None

Arch-villain Dominic Green purports to bring peace to the world by restoring natural balance . . . or does he?  In a company only Al Gore could love Green advocates restoring the natural beauty and exuberance of nature while secretly sabotaging ...

Pros: Daniel Craig and Judi Dench.
Cons: Plot. Settings. Drab villain. Lacks polish and pizzazz of Bond film.

Maybe I was expecting too much.  Maybe I take it all too seriously. But this long awaited (well, two years) sequel to the most commercially successful James Bond film ever – Casino Royale – was a big let down for me.  While ...

Pros: Nothing Really... maybe Daniel Craig
Cons: Fake Bond movie!! No Bond Girls, no gadgets, no flashy cars!!

Introduction Like any true Bond fan, I wanted to check out Quantum of Solace on the big screen, but somehow missed it due to some commitments. The Diwali vacations here gave me a perfect excuse to play catch up and check the movie out. ...

Pros: Excellent production values, acting, effects, and writing.
Cons: Movie is short and perhaps a tad overloaded.  Also, you must first see CASINO ROYALE.

QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008) is the second James Bond movie with Daniel Craig, essentially the second in the "new series" that presents a serious, hard working and gritty Bond.  Again, no Miss Moneypenny and no Q, and virtually none of those ...

Pros: Standard Bond fare with a touch more depth to the character.
Cons: Disjointed, feels like part two which in fact it is.

The James Bond series has seen its ups and downs. While it has always been a money maker, it seemed like it was about to lose steam during the last of the Pierce Brosnan set. And then they decided on a new Bond, one that most fans weren't sure about. ...

Pros: Decent acting, Moments of theme
Cons: Predictable plot, Not-so special effects, Light on character

I had no plans to go see "Quantum Of Solace." I know, there are a ton of "Star Trek" fans who will be flocking to the theaters in short order just to see the trailer for "Star Trek" attached to the prints of this film (FYI, It's not worth it - hold out ...

Pros: Some beautiful setpieces, faces and locales.
Cons: Cynical and dreadful. Seeks to reduce the simple joys of being human.

“Quantum of Solace” is the feature-length movie version of a perfume ad in Vanity Fair, a bunch of faces (pouty, fetching, ruggedly handsome, ageless or whatever indigent look Jeffrey Wright is after) assuming the position for the camera ...

Pros: Quicker, Better at what it is than “Casino Royale”
Cons: What it is isn’t my kind of Bond film

I didn’t much like Daniel Craig’s last 007 adventure, “Casino Royale”, nor did I feel Craig’s casting and interpretation of Bond was anything I could find interest in. But here I am reviewing this 2008 Marc Forster ...

Pros: Colorful performances, a nuanced plotline, enormous production design
Cons: Female lead is absurdly miscast; theme song is unlistenable

I never expected to review a James Bond movie, but as Quantum of Solace was coolly received stateside and happens to be the best entry in the once venerable series since In Her Majesty's Secret Service, it deserves at least some defense.Those who ...

Pros: great action, drama, and dialogue with lively effects: picks up where "Casino Royale" left off
Cons: does not top the Sean Connery or Roger Moore eras

Daniel Craig is back as Agent 007 James Bond! This film really picks up on where "Casino Royale" left off. It starts off with some really great action with a high speed chase with real lively graphics and sound effects along with some good-hearted Bond ...

Pros: There will be no sequel!
Cons: Too many to name.

Here's my review in 3 short words.Do. Not. Watch.007-Quantum of Solace came out on DVD & Blu-Ray on 3/24/09. So by the time you read this, you may have considered renting/buying/torrenting this movie. Heed my advice, STAY AWAY FROM ...
