I've talked to quite a few people who saw Marc Forster's "Quantum of Solace," and views sure differ on this one. I personally enjoyed the new James Bond flick a lot, and you can read my review here. But what other online critics have to say about Daniel Craig's latest 007 adventure? Let's find out:
• Joblo's Chris Bumbray: "Some of the action scenes are stunning (such as another parkour inspired chase/fight near the start of the film) - but they’re also VERY hard to follow, and a little too BOURNE-like for my taste."
• Scott Weinberg at Cinematical: "Craig continues to excel as a gruff hero worth watching -- and his knack in the action scenes simply can't be knocked -- and there's more than enough here to recommend 'Quantum of Solace' as an above-average action film."
• Cinema Blend's Josh Tyler: "It doesn’t matter why Bond does what he does, his supposed inner suffering is the movie’s excuse for everything, including numerous instances of inexplicable behavior."
• LatinoReview's Ron Henriques: "Bond might as well be called 'The Terminator,' an emotionless killing machine, because that's basically all he does from scene to scene."
• Neil Miller at FilmSchoolRejects: "On a personal level I found it to be one of my favorite Bond movies — but again, I don’t count myself among the most die-hard of Bond’s fans."
• Collider's Brian Orndorf: "Forster doesn't know what film he's supposed to make with 'Solace' so he bungles the entire shebang in a quest to smudge his fingerprints everywhere."

Quantum of Solace was entertaining, but they could have done with six or seven less chase scenes
