Amazon.com:
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




Rating: - Meh
While the acting might have been good, I found myself vastly underwhelmed with the plot itself. Other Bond films have had far more nefarious schemes with fascinating villains, but this one was rather lackluster. The plot to steal some water in one country, it simply did not impress me. If you're a die-hard Bond fan, you may want to watch this, but for a casual viewer like myself, I found this rather boring. The title didn't even make any sense to me.

Came in brand new condition, as advertised. Came sooner than the expected delivery date. I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

Rating: - Got my DVD, Quantum of Solace, as ordered
Confusing, at first, recieved 2 different DVD order/shipment confirmations. Some how 2 DVDs got ordered on consecutive days, but was cleared up and I got the DVD in less than a week.

Rating: - Try again
Being a James Bond fan since Dr No,I see the Bond films declining with every new film.If you haven't seen Casino Royall,you will never figure this Bond out .All the plot lines seemed to have vanished,replaced by disconnected action.I buy as I have all the others,but I do not know why.

Rating: - Horrible trash
This movie is unwatchable. I'm sorry I paid money for it. Daniel Craig is a nightmare Bond. No class, no charm, no humanity. He happens to be Jason in a Bond role. What has happened to this once great series? Craig is just the worst Bond I have ever seen. Do they actually pay this guy? It seems more like Craig paid the producers for the role. His face looks like it spent months in a meat grinder. There is absolutely no angle where his face can't damage the lens. Must go through a dozen broken cameras a day. And the plot is god awful. Psychopathic agent on murderous rampage to avenge the death of girlfriend. Thats it. Nothing more to say. Nothing to see. Will there ever be a time again when Bond does any spying? Do you have to go back to Connery to see any espionage? The Bond series has steadily gone down hill since Connery and got a little better with Goldeneye but then continued back on its downhill course shortly after. It really fell off a cliff with this movie. Why don't the Brocoli family sell the franchise to some people with talent? Whoever is running the show has no business making a hot dog let alone a movie. This garbage has Cubbie rolling in his grave. I will never watch another Bond movie until the producer and the actor is changed.
