Critics Consensus

Brutal and breathless, Quantum Of Solace delivers tender emotions along with frenetic action, but coming on the heels of Casino Royale, it's still a bit of a disappointment.

Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com Quantum of Solace is one of the most listless Bond films I have seen. Rated: C- Apr 6, 2020 Full Review Namrata Joshi Outlook The angsty, truant Bond and his sulky ways get too irritating, the pout notwithstanding. Rated: 2/4 Jan 31, 2019 Full Review Dre Rivas Film.com Go see Quantum of Solace. Not that you weren't going to anyway. Rated: B+ Nov 2, 2015 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine As always, Bond shines like a British señorito among luxury salons, good drinks, and pretty women, although in this new installment, the character allows himself to get dirty, his hair to get tousled, and he even perspires. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …a boring slog through various clichés of toxic male machismo… Rated: 2/5 Sep 17, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Ian Fleming’s James Bond franchise has a notorious hit-or-miss reputation on film, and Quantum of Solace rests somewhere in the middle.

Birithivy Y Quantum Of Solace - 6/10. Finally, after years, I finally finished watching all of the Craig Bond films. I love Casino Royale and Skyfall. No Time To Die was good for what it was, and Spectre was meh. Quantum as well is meh, but, it attempted to be more than meh. Marc Foster is an interesting choice to be the director here. I’m a fan of his work, and he seems like a director who understands emotions well and is able to extract good drama out of emotional pain. But, he seems like an out of place choice to make a Bond film. Sam Mendes at least had a Jarhead before making Skyfall, whereas Foster was a predominantly drama based director who focused on human dramas. Here in Quantum, I did appreciate that this was a direct continuation of Casino Royale. Bond films have this tendency to always forget what happened last time and just go on a new adventure. Whereas here, we see the direct results of Bond’s pain and wallowing over the loss of the woman he loved. When the movie focuses on this loss, I think it works well. But in terms of the movie as a Bond film, its shaky. The action has spurts of fun, but for the most part, it feels a bit jarring. I did appreciate the overarching socio political element to this. The movie’s shot nicely too, giving it an edge that was necessary after Royale. But my oh my is the editing crazy and frenetic. At some points, you can blink your eyes and there were probably 3 switches within the one second. I feel like this was the weakest of the series, whereas Spectre was the biggest disappointment. To be honest, there’s nothing of significance that happens here. The overall story is just kinda happening with no flair or pizzaz. Also, interesting way of ending the film too! Watching this last in the series is kinda funny for me, but I’m glad I can say I watched all the Craig films now. Okay at best. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Obi-wan K That took a backfire Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Rxadw V Craig's worst movie as agent 007 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Its a decent sequel to casino royale 7,2/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Todd B Pretty good movie with the 2nd outing of Bond. A little closure on the desth of Vesper Lynd. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Audience M Picking up directly from Casino Royale but largely failing to maintain the same levels of finesse and excitement, Quantum of Solace is an uninspired, if watchable, installment in the Bond franchise. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Read all reviews
