Quantum of Solace [DVD] [2008]

I rank Quantum of Solace as third best of the Daniel Craig Bond films, but all the films are great, so I wound up getting all 3 steelbooks. These are awesome, and I was able to ad all 3 to my Digital Library with the UltraViolet Codes too that were included. This is a great value and I love the artwork on these Exclusive Best Buy Steelbooks!! A great gift for any Bond fan! ~PopCulter I hope they do something similar for SPECTRE when it comes out.

Have to say this is a good movie to watch on a big screen and to find this in the steelbook edition is very rare, great movie and great deal I got on the edition purchased.

Very unique design for the steelbook that looks great. Not a huge fan of the glossy look and came with a large scratch but still worth the cost

Quantum is so different from Casino Royale that fans didn't know what to make of it. It's a faster, tougher, grittier Bond film and about 30 minutes shorter than Casino. In some ways it's an extension of Casino as it picks up right after that movie but it definitely has it's own style and sense of purpose. In many ways this is a darker more emotional Bond film in that it deals with love and loss and revenge. Bond is drunk with rage and heartache and uses that pain to go after the bad guys. It's a brave film in that it didn't want to give fans more of the same and is worth the price of admission for just the first 20 minutes where you see an edge of your seat car chase and then a foot chase where Bond hunts down a double agent on the rooftops of Siena, Italy that culminates in one of the most inventive gun fights in action movie history where, let's just say, Bond loses his sidearm and only has seconds left to live. I would say Quantum, now it's in 10th Anniversary, really deserves a second chance and no longer has to be overshadowed by either Casino Royale or Skyfall. It's aged well and has it's own style, identity, and purpose in telling a modern Bond film that's about combining the action and thrills fans demand while also taking some risks in showing Bond as a wounded and vulnerable killer who is paying the price for his decisions and actions while also coming to terms with his role as an agent for preserving justice and serving his country. In addition Quantum looks and sounds fantastic on blu ray with reference quality audio and video.

I have grown up with the entire James Bond series, being 12 when Dr. No was released. Sean Connery will always be the quintessential 007 for me. He was the first to raise through flag and therefore set the standard, very high, for all others. That said, I have enjoyed the 4 movie arc with Daniel Craig immensely. He is the perfect Bond for our time just as Connery was for the 60's. Forgetting nostalgia for Goldfinger, Skyfall is my favorite Bond movie ever. And just a great film. Period. Quantum of Solace is the least of the 4 Craig films but that still says a lot. As with most set up movies in any series, it raises more questions than it answers. Especially true here as, at its release, we did not realize that this was not your usual stand-alone Bond film but one of four chapters. Now that this series is, sadly by all appearances, complete, this film is even more satisfying than at its release. Until these films, there was no attempt to have Bond grow or develop his personality in any of the earlier movies. Here, we see his strengths and weaknesses. We see why he has such a dismissive attitude towards women. And even find some salvation. But only after losses that actually affect him. I don't know where the Brocoli's are going to take 007 next. I look forward that day. They have, however, set the bar very high with Daniel Craig and these 4 films.
