Craig, stripped naked (literally) and revealed as little more than a “maladjusted young man” in Casino Royale, is still a rookie making clumsy mistakes here, but what seemed human in the relaunching already feels stale the second go-round. Bond does little more than sulk through the picture — Forster doesn’t allow him so much as a grin — while even Jeffrey Wright, back as CIA ally and comic relief Felix Leiter, seethes his way though his handful of scenes. (He’s more menacing toward Bond than Amalric, a nonentity.) If nothing else, there’s no need to worry about where Quantum of Solace fits in the Bond pantheon — it’s easily one of the worst.

QUANTUM OF SOLACE | Directed by MARC FORSTER | Written by PAUL HAGGIS, NEAL PURVIS and ROBERT WADE | Produced by MICHAEL G. WILSON and BARBARA BROCCOLI | Released by MGM and Columbia Pictures | Citywide
