Quantum of Solace (DVD, 2009, Checkpoint; Sensormatic; Widescreen)

Can we make ANYMORE bond movies? This movie left alot to be desired. The effects were awesome, and the technology behind the movie, but the plot was actually quite predictable throughout the movie.

Most people who write these Bond reviews grew up watching either Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. The fact of the matter is that the ridiculous toys, impossible CGI effects and stunts (which plagued the latter Brosnan films), and the general premise that Bond ought to be a jovial character IS ALL INCORRECT.

Upon reading the original Casino Royale, you find that Bond is a dark and brooding character with morose emotional strife. There is no gadgetry or wizardry. It makes perfect sense, then, that the immediate sequel (our aforementioned Quantum of Solace) display a similar James Bond still trapped by his emotions.

So go ahead, all you poor, misguided Brosnan-era fanatics, tear apart Daniel Craig and his two highly successful Bond films. But the reality is that these films were done exactly how Fleming wrote them or would have wanted them. Craig has provided audiences with THE most accurate portrayal of Bond ever; yes, more so than The Great Sean Connery, even.

In terms of this movie's plot, its relevance to today's world issues adds an additional depth to the film. Impressively, this Bond film has also done more on-location shooting than any of the other 21 films in the franchise. You have the Bond Girl(s), a classic plot, a beautiful Aston Martin, and an antagonist right out of the old days. What more could you want? Well, perhaps some popcorn.

I decided to buy it because my son wanted to see the movie and I felt it would make a wonderful addition to our collection. The seller however turned out to be the worst example of a seller on Ebay "berkebil7400" they would not leave feedback after I left positive feedback for them then they called me an ASS because I simply asked them nicely if they would leave positive feedback for me, I even thanksd them in advance for it. They never did any feedback for me and said I was being an ass about it. I do not call that very good service from a seller. So if your looking for a movie, It is just a suggestion but you should think about if you want feedabck or not before going to that seller because they love to get it but will not do the same for you and will get down right mean about it.

I thought this movie was one of the best James Bond movies made to date. The company that produces the James Bond movies have a great actor that should keep the James Bond movies, moving to great heights in the storytelling and action sequences. Daniel Craig adds a new element to a character that has changed with different actors that have held the role before him.

I am a James Bond fan! Action and intrigue flows through the movie. Daniel Craig wears the physical damage he receives unlike early James Bond flicks. Simply Awesome! What's to dislike? If you like action, even if your not a James Bond fan, don't hesitate to purchase a copy for your movie collection.

It picks up right where Casino Royale left off...it's most fun to watch these two back to back. Daniel Craig as James Bond in our grittier global times. KJC

I was very disappointed. I have been a James Bond fan ever since the beginning and had missed this at the theatre, so I was anxious to get the DVD.

I think the acting was very good and the special effects were very good.
Story line was okay but I had some problems keeping up. It was as if I had missed a previous episode somewhere. Second time of watching was better, but you shouldn't have to watch a movie several times to be able to follow the story line.

It just wasn't up to the usual standards for these movies. Rent it first before you buy.

PROS: It's James Bond! The action in Quantum of Solace starts at the beginning and goes all the way to the end! If you like action movies, you will like this one for sure.

CONS: Hmmm....can there be a con with James Bond? If so, I can't find it. I guess I would have to say that I liked Casino Royale better than Quantum of Solace.

This is the second installment of the new James Bond movie. This is the first time that a Bond movie has become a direct sequel to the previous movie.

The movie is full of great action! The action is fast and furious as Bond investigates a secret organization around the world. You see Europe, Haiti, South America. It is great fun. :)

Awesome to watch. Grab the popcorn.

This was a very exciting and emotional 007 movie filled with both intense chase and fight scenes, along with intense emotions. Daniel Craig again plays an excellent James Bond, and Judi Dench is a terrific M. Very thrilling, right from the beginning. I could hardly wait to see what would happen next. The cast was good, as well as the script. The scenes were well put together and looked amazing. The different settings seemed to fit well with the story. The twists in the plot should keep you guessing and may surprise you, it is not horribly predictable like some movies out there. Great Bond movie, I would certainly recommend it.

another great movie to the sequal to casino royale. james bond takes on another assignment and this movie has all the twists and turns as you would expect in a bond film. worth the time to rent or to pickup and enjoy the action and adventure.

The best car in the movie get's crashed right at the start of the movie. Big let down. The Aston Martin should have been shown more. Not some Ford. The last James Bond was better in my opinion.

The new James Bond did helluva job in this action flick. There were times in the Flick that stumped me and the special effects were super. The new guy on the block has filled the shoes pretty good, Ya gotta see this one..

I loved this movie because from the very first scene it is action packed until the very end. The action scenes in this movie make it better than the first one. I recommend this movie to all Bond fans. Craig Daniels plays Bond the way he is supposed to be.

I love everything about this item and I'm a collector of James Bond CDs. That's why I decided to buy this item.

I am a james bond fan, and enjoy all his movies. I cannot get it in South Africa as yet. I also normaly enjoy buying from eBay.

Of all the 007 Bond Agents, this is one of my favorites. Less fluff and more substance. Smart story telling. Keeps your attention. Great action scenes.

Daniel Craig is very believable. More of a no-nonsense Bond, still smooth and slick. I also love that M now has a bigger role in the film. She's pretty cool.

Great directing. Would definitely recommend.

I loved the movie once I saw it in theaters. Movie arrived fast and in perfect condition, thanks!.....................................

This Quantum of Solace DVD was sold as Good, but it is barely Acceptable. The disc wasn't that badly scratched, but the case was in terrible condition. One-third of the front of the sleeve was torn off.

Lots of action,mystery,sex left to the imagination,intrigue.
The exotic places were pleasing, the women were hot,the villian was nutso and quirky

Great Bond movie

Good Sales experience. A Good deal with fast service. Received notice same day. Happy with purchase. ...................

Bond has become Bourne, and that is a good thing. Better more realistic action, a more logical story line. Looking forward to the next one. The old Bonds were flippant and witty, but short on realism.

I highly recommend this DVD for 007 Fans! You wont be disappointed with this movie! I loved everything about it & enjoyed it very much!
