Amazon.co.uk Review
Daniel Craig hasn't lost a step since Casino Royale--this James Bond remains dangerous, a man who could earn that license to kill in brutal hand-to-hand combatâ¦ but still look sharp in a tailored suit. And Quantum of Solance itself carries on from the previous film like no other 007 movie, with Bond nursing his anger from the Casino Royale storyline and vowing blood revenge on those responsible. For the new plot, we have villain Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), intent on controlling the water rights in impoverished Third World nations and happy to overthrow a dictator or two to get his way. Olga Kurylenko is very much in the "Bond girl" tradition, but in the Ursula Andress way, not the Denise Richards way. And Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, and Giancarlo Giannini are welcome holdovers. If director Marc Forster and the longtime Bond production team seem a little too eager to embrace the continuity-shredding style of the Bourne pictures (especially in a nearly incomprehensible opening car chase), they nevertheless quiet down and get into a dark, concentrated groove soon enough. And the theme song, "Another Way to Die," penned by Jack White and performed by him and Alicia Keys, is actually good (at times Keys seems to be channeling Shirley Bassey--nice). Of course it all comes down to Craig. And he kills. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com

It's James Bond! March 11, 2010
B. R. Crane (UK)
I bought this because I liked the previous film so much and because I have now a Blu-ray home cinema system, I was not dissapointed, however I am not sure it's as goof as Daniel Craig's first outing as 007. Good enough though to enjoy.

Good movie, but it's not as good as Casino Royale... March 11, 2010

As a fan of all the James Bond films since I was a kid (I have my dad to thank for that) I was expecting great things from this movie, a follow on from the excellent Casino Royale.
Although "Quantum of Solace" is a very good action thriller, for me it never quite reaches the heights of "Casino Royale," some very enjoyable moments are present but the overall lasting impression is that something is missing.
Perhaps it's the shorter run time making the movie feel just a little rushed; I especially disliked the airplane chase scene followed by the fall which borders on the ridiculous to be honest.
That said however, the pre credits sequence is probably one of the best of any bond movie and other action scenes develop into strong thrills and spills.
Expect the usual array of trailers, cast interviews and behind the scenes footage on the Blu-ray, overall "Quantum of Solace" is a decent film for Daniel Craig in his second outing as James Bond.
One final thing, I don't know whether it's just me but the subtitles are set to "on" by default when you first insert the disc, quite why that is I don't know, I was somewhat puzzled when I pressed play for the first time and I had all that text at the bottom of the screen!

Quantum leap? Not quite. March 2, 2010

This latest 'Bond Film' contains most of the ususal 007 ingredients of action ,suttle violence and a far darker Bond than last time. Each time they change the Bond actor the films seem to change content to suit the nature of the actor.
The storyline is good but the film gathered mixed reviews which mainly praised Craig's gritty performance and the film's action sequences while feeling that Quantum of Solace was not as impressive as the predecessor Casino Royale. It is also the second highest grossing James Bond film, without adjusting for inflation, making $586,090,727 worldwide, while becoming one of the highest grossing Bond films domestically. I enjoyed it but you need to see it to make your own mind up. the purchase of this film is better idea rather than rental due to eceptionally good prices to be found.

Total Embarrassment February 10, 2010

No way round it - this is a very poor film but not in an ironic way like some of the earlier Bonds. Just pretentious, bad and dull. Hopefully they will pull it back with the next.

This is the first "follow on " film in the Bond series. I wasn't sure it would work, but it was a fantastic movie and you could easily watch it without having watched the previous one
