Quantum Of Solace

[Estel]

It's scary how many similarities there are between the release of this one and License to Kill.

-Second outing of a serious Bond actor. (Dalton/Craig)
-Revenge is one of the main plot points.
-Writer's strike. (1989 / 2007-???)
-License to Kill was released in the same year as Batman and The Last Crusade. Dark Knight and Indy 4 this year.

Wow, that kinda is freaky. But Jack Nicholson didn't die, so there goes one similarity. I bet they keep Craig on to at least finish the "trilogy."

The title sucks, but there have been plenty of Bond movies with great titles that were dreadful.

After Casino Royale, nothing could keep me away from this flick. As long as it's good, they can call it whatever they want.

As for Craig, I hope they make 5 or 6 with him.

Yea, the title kind of sucks, but the movie sounds like it should be good. When I think of "Quantum of Solace", I think of Solar Power; I don't know why, but I do. After that, I think of the solace from the man with the golden gun, so I hope it's different.

I can't wait for the new Bond.
The title?... Blah... But Craig was right up there with Connery (of the 60's) and it was an easy transition from Brosnan (previously my second favourite Bond) to Craig. I hope that it builds on the success of Casino and that it also builds on an audience that seem to used to bang rather than some cerebral moments of, dare we wish for it, dialogue among the actors.

That is a cool teaser poster, but the lack of a title makes me think they are having second thoughts after we said how crappy it was.

Looks really good.

Read somewhere that the new movie starts up about 5 minutes after Casino ended, which would make it the first direct sequal...pretty neat, there is a decent "info" spot over at moviefone about the movie:

A few interesting tidbits and a picture of two of Eva Green, the more I look at her the more I think she may be one of the best looking Bond ever.

That reminds me of the Phantom Menace teaser poster.

I love that they are actually going to be making this a sequel. It's supposed to start up only 20 mins after Casiino Royale ended!!! The teaser poster is pretty dope. He has the same stance and gun from when the first one ended.

Yeah, that is the most awesome thing about it. I loved that last movie and that ending was classic. So it's very cool to see this be a continuation of that feeling. Sort of like Bond getting his emotions out of his system through violence.

I'm really looking forward to it.

I like the poster.
As far as the title, meh-- but I'll reserve judgement until I see the movie to put it into a context.

I liked the poster when I first saw it, but looking at it the last few times I've visited the htread the pose seems a little strange--unnatural or something. The whole shadow with a gun on the pavement thing is a pretty cool idea. And I think its cool that it ties in with the end scene of Casino Royale.

I still think the lack of a title on the poster is odd. They KNOW the title, why not put it on? That makes me think they might retitle it. Quantom of Solace has to be THE worst Bond title ever. Us Americans had to look up all three of the words to know what the title means. At least the other Bond titles are a character name, object, place, or just straight forward. Quantum of Solace is just odd. It doesn't even flow right.

When I told people the title they asked, "you hurt your what?"

That has to be the best explanation of how confusing the title is! Nice bro.

For Bond the title is meaningless-- even in the media they'll refer to it as the latest BOND movie. Bond is the icon and Bond is what needs to be shown. Just look at The Dark Knight. No one was calling it by that name. It was the next BATMAN movie OR (up until the untimely passing of Heath Ledger) the Batman movie with the JOKER in it. These properties sell according to the iconic character. The title means little to the general public. Only the fanboys clamour for a title.

 

[Agent0028]

I don't know much about teaser posters, but it seems to me like teaser posters for really big movie series like this don't really need a movie title.
