Quantum of Solace

Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M interrogate Mr. White, who reveals that the organization that blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
What critics thought
A mixed reception greeted Casino Royale's immediate sequel, with critics broadly agreeing that Craig himself remains a compelling Bond but dividing sharply over nearly everything else: the frenetic editing, a plot many found incoherent, and a tone that swapped the wit and elegance of its predecessor for a grim, relentless seriousness. The shadow of Casino Royale looms over almost every review, and even sympathetic critics frame their praise as damage limitation.
“following Casino Royale was never going to be easy, but the director Marc Forster has brought the brand's successful relaunch crashing back to earth—with a yawn”
The Sunday Times
“made the part his own, every inch the coolly ruthless agent-killer, nursing a broken heart and coldly suppressed rage”
Peter Bradshaw·The Guardian
“Notices will focus—rightly—on Craig's magnetism as the steely, sexy, murderous MI6 agent, but two other factors weigh in and freshen up proceedings: Forster's new technical team, led by cinematographer Roberto Schaefer and production designer Dennis Gassner”
Screen Daily
“rock-solid dramatic idea and the intelligence to run with it”
Tim Robey·The Daily Telegraph
“not bigger and better than Casino Royale, [which is] perhaps a smart move in that there's still a sense at the finish that Bond's mission has barely begun”
