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.

Dave C One of the worst Bond films in existence, and most definitely the worst of DC's iterations. An oddity, thankfully, but it leaves a scar on the anthology of otherwise brilliant stories. It feels very much like a writing error, with a drunk director at the helm who tries to deliver something alternative but misses the mark. I'd like to see it re-made, as I do think some elements of the story are redeemable Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Tyler N Tried this movie three times through the years. The first two times, I shut it off. Last night, I fell asleep. I’m done with it. The first 30 minutes is fire but it’s all downhill after that, but more like falling off a cliff. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Jace E Was this movie written and filmed in a week following Casino Royale? It's not a bad movie, but I had a hard time figuring out the "why". The setting is muddled, the plot is confusing and I didn't care for the "Bond girl" in this one. The rest of the cast is amazing and the oil death on the bed is legendary. They sure know how to cast Bond villains, but Mr. Greene might be the most forgettable. I love his ending though. Best Character: M Best Quote: "They say you're judged by the strength of your enemies." - James Bond Best Scene: The finale in the dessert Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/22/25 Full Review Oliver J “A bruised and breathless Bond that never quite catches its stride.” Critics Consensus: Quantum of Solace delivers the high-octane action fans expect, but its relentless pace and murky plot leave little room for the emotional nuance that made Casino Royale so memorable. Daniel Craig once again commands the screen with his gritty, steely presence, but even his intensity can’t fully ground a story that feels more fragmented than focused. Director Marc Forster brings a kinetic visual flair — with chases, explosions, and close-quarters combat that are fierce and visceral — yet the film’s emotional core feels lost amid the chaos. Olga Kurylenko’s Camille offers a refreshing, vengeance-driven twist on the Bond girl formula, but the script’s uneven pacing and thin villain make the experience more exhausting than exhilarating. Verdict: A solid but unsatisfying follow-up, Quantum of Solace is an action-packed bridge between stronger chapters in Craig’s Bond saga. It thrills in flashes but lacks the heart and elegance that made its predecessor soar. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/20/25 Full Review Jacopo D Noioso e noioso, scene d'azione che riescono ad essere noiose, incredibile vero? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Kauã M boring defines this film, without charisma, problematic script and meaningless endings, there is not much to say other than boring for this film, it fails to be remarkable in any criteria, besides looking like just another action film.
