Quantum Of Solace

[Kabukiman]

So, let's get this straight, it was

Spoiler

Vesper who told Quantum that Bond knew Le Chiffre's "tell" and not Mathis?

That's what I got from it. The very end of the movie seems to solidify this.

 

[Morbach]

I want to see this movie!

 

[The Tuggernaut]

Saw this earlier today... fantastic movie! 8/10
Can't wait for the next Bond film!

Now come on Sideshow... where's my Daniel Craig PF?

 

[pmtz2005]

I really just want to see the bond girl, damn she is so hot

I finally saw this last night.... and I didn't like it much.

I wanted to. Just didn't find it very engaging. Now that the whole Craig-as-Bond reboot has cooled for me, I felt the movie wasn't very innovative as compared to CR. Nothing jumped out at me, nothing blew me away. The best action shots were given away in the trailer. The rest was mild.

This Bond really needs a great villain to go up against. The "Roman Polanski" guy wasn't much of a challenge. I'm growing tired of the "Clear and Present Danger" plots and characters. I don't want a Moore-Bond cartoon, but a little more larger than life villain and plot, done realistically, would be more fun.

This Bond really needs a great villain to go up against.

That's exactly what I think, too. He realy needs a villain that's an equal and not just an annoyance. That's the number one thing they should focus on when they start thinking of ideas for a third.

I didn't get very interested in this movie until about halfway through it. The beginning was overstuffed with action and I found it rather hard to follow the plot. The second half rocked. And Craig is as perfect a Bond as ever.

I think this movie actually works a lot better if you watch Casino Royale immediately prior to seeing it. It's almost as if the Casino Royal is the beginning and the build up, and that this one is the climax and the falling action.

Which one? Personally I like Gemma Arterton over Olga...

You're missing the bigger picture. He is fighting an organization that even MI-6 has no idea about. He fighting an organization that is even pulling over the wool of the eyes of the US Government. When considering a syndicate, it wouldn't be as impressive if everyone in it were an A+ villian. Even Mr. White seems to be working for someone. Which means that there is someone at the top still to come.

BTW: This beat BOLT, Disney's big Holiday film....it ended up at number 2 for its sophomore week a full 400,000 over its third place mentioned above.

 

[scubasteve]

I'll take both Bond girls! Gemma slightly sexier, though

 

[pmtz2005]

im definately taking olga...the first time I saw her in Hitman it was over

 

[scubasteve]

She's got the looks. Acting could use some work, but I'd rate her higher than say...Megan Fox.

A faceless organization is boring.

SPECTRE had great faces.

 

[CelticPredator]

They must re do Blofeld.

 

[Seretur]

A faceless organization feels too real for comfort... Especially when the CIA is all to eager to jump in bed with it.

I really like QoS, catatonic editing be damned.

Yep, I loved it. Seen it 3 times in the theater, so far

 

[CelticPredator]

I need to see it again. I liked it, but I was already in a depressed mood, and Bond being depressed didnt help....damnit Bond!

The action was god awful. But I liked the story and everything else.

 

[scubasteve]

The action was great, especially that knife fight! Loved it!

 

[CelticPredator]

Too quick. I like to see the action.

I agree. The faceless organization is much more real, and threatening. SPECTRE was always laughable to me, with their inept guards and traps. The only film that somewhat made them seem real was OHMSS, and even that one had a few issues.

I really love the direction this series is heading towards, it's like having SPECTRE back... but done right. I will agree that a more interesting villain is needed. But I still hated Greene with a passion, he really was a *******.

 

[CelticPredator]

I love his uh....end.

Hilarious.

"20 miles before you consider drinking that..."

I love that he didn't kill him.. You want him to, badly.. but you hope he doesn't. He chose to do his job instead.

The entire film felt like Bond was too pissed to function properly at his work, and it was subtlety done.. I didn't realize that's what angle they were working until mid film.
