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 combat… 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

- Craig continues to impress

Make no mistake this is Bond on a bad day. He's on a mission and nothing will stop him, and it's a roller-coaster ride. Bond is ruthless and vicious and is delicious to see.

To the reviewers that claim this is not Bond, perhaps you should do some research and read some of the original novels that Fleming wrote. James Bond has a license to kill, so he is an assassin first and foremost. He will kill anyone who stands in the way of him completing his mission and it is good to see Bond finally growing up from a family film to a film for fans of the true Bond character. Believe it or not the Bond character of the original novels is actually more brutal than potrayed, or this would be an 18 certificate.

Essentially though, if you liked Casino Royale, but felt at times the pace slowed (especially the love scenes near the end) then you'll apreciate this film for it's intrigues and action.

The only big criticism is that the film isn't quite long enough, as I was thoroughly enjoying it and then it suddenly ended only 90 minutes or so in

Still 5 stars though. Keep up the good work Mr. Craig!

- Ian Flemings Bond!

This biggest question with this film is `Is this a Bond movie?' In my opinion, it is how Bond was always supposed to be if you read the Ian Fleming novels. After many discussions with friends I think there will always be a difference of opinion. Many people expect the Bond movies to be like the Roger Moore incarnation, not early Connery and Dalton, while Craig is probably even grittier than even those two. I am actually a fan of this style. Ironically this movie is truer to the Fleming spirit than most other movies and it was not even based on one of his books. I agree however that this makes it stand out less from a Bourne movie or similar because of that. This movie carries on from Casino Royale, so re-watch that movie before seeing this if you can. I think the plot is complex, however no overly so, superbly acted and the action is excellent and quite believable. An excellent movie from start to finish, however don't expect gadgets, quips and humour.

- better than bourne

quantum of solace and casino royale before it have been accused of ripping of the bourne trilogy,but bond got their first and while not being as good as casino.. qos is still terrific stuff,with daniel craig once again proving he's a top bond,up their with timothy dalton as my favourite.in fact qos is very close in tone to the dark,violent and gritty licence to kill - my favourite bond film ever,so i was always going to like this.the action scenes are great,brutal and realistic and it looks stunning on blu ray.a must buy.
