Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace is not as good as Casino Royale, that's first and foremost. The villain is pretty disappointing I must say, he's this skinny 105 lb white guy who isn't threatening or malicious at all, with a henchman who is even more gangly and funny looking. He's just a guy who belongs to "the organization" that Bond is after. You never really find out what Quantum of Solace means, you find out what Quantum is at the end, or at least something that resembles Quantum. I don't want to say this movie is bad, cause its not bad, but it's just not as good as it should have been. Olga Kurelynko is pretty hot though. Other than that it has the same ole M and Bond back and forth jokes, the same Bond charm, some good action scenes, and the ending leaves you inquiring more similar to Casino Royale. I thought the locations they went to were kind of boring looking too, they all seemed to kind of run together instead of having a different path. It's like run down South American village, to poor South American slums, to a nice villa in Cairo for a few seconds, then over to a desert.

Not to mention the opening song, which most have heard, is terribad.

If Brett Ratner were banned from making movies then the world wouldn't seem like such a bad place.

I hope I'm wrong. But the biggest issue is who to cast as Conan? I sure as hell hope they go with a newcomer.

I'd hate to see Ed Norton or McConaughey as Conan.

Or Vin ****ing Diesel.
Agreed. I love the original "Conan"

The remake has "disaster" written all over it.

Went to the 7:50 last night. I thought it was OK, tied up some loose ends and did a good job setting up SPECTRE's replacement organization.

The spastic camera work sucked during the action scenes. I enjoyed some of the chase seens in CR because they knew how to keep the camera still and take an occassional long shot. This movie's action shots are as watchable as The Blair Witch Project.

Judi Dench is the best M ever.

If Olga Kurylenko pulls up and tells me to "Get In", I'm really hoping she's not just talking about the car... but dammit Bond, you gotta tap that ass.

I need to rewatch CR, then go back and watch QoS again right afterwards. There were a couple of things I think I missed.

It's very reassuring to know that this is the last time the franchise will be using this director.

Marc Forster did this one. His background is in indie flicks. I also believe hes the first American director to helm a Bond flick??


Martin Campbel did CR. Hes actually been the best of the modern Bond directors. He also rebooted the Bond franchise in the mid 90's with Goldeneye.

Ironically he also made both Zorro flicks since it came up in this thread.

I agree. Director of CR did a better job with the action. I typically don't like it, but the spastic camera work doesn't necessarily bother me. 95 percent of the action in this one I couldn't tell what was going on, who grabbed what... that's to the detriment of the film.

I actually preferred Gemma Arterton (the girl who played Strawberry Fields).

Who knows?? I jst saw it. Yea, it was obvious they were going for the "Bourne" feel with the spastic camerawork during the action scenes.


I liked the movie, but overall it was kind of flat. I actually liked the quiet character scenes better than the action scenes.

it was definitely more to my liking than the old Bond movies, although I still watch them if I run across them on tv.

Casino Royale was great though, so you have to wonder why they changed the team.

Well, I never gave a crap about the old Bond. Casino Royale (the new one) is the only Bond DVD I ever actually purchased. Glib British snobs with gadgets was never, shall we say, my cup of tea. I like the new guy.
The "new" Bond that you described is the Bond the Ian Fleming created. The movie producers hijacked the original Bond and replaced him with the Roger Moore concoction that you aptly described. I like Fleming's original Bond.
