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

So is Martin Campbell done with Bond movies? Why did they go to Forster?

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.

Me too. Significantly better.

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.

Gemma Arterton... I mentioned her a bit earlier, and I agree 1000 percent.

Gemma Arterton was born with 6 fingers on each hand.

And she's still hot.

Just saw it. I loved it, I thought it was a perfect continuation/resolution of the events of Casino Royale and the continued evolution of the new Bond (as a character).

What I didn't love was the way the action sequences were edited...

I also thought it was a little short. The end, especially, seemed rushed (the part in the desert, not the part in russia; that part rung perfect for me....) and there were some leaps in logic that I thought should have been fleshed out.

But, all in all, in no way was that a bad movie. It's going in the collection as soon as it's out on DVD.

Craig owns that role now. He's the definitive James Bond. I never thought anybody could take that from Connery (or Lazenby, as some think). I was wrong.

Can't wait to see where they go from here.

Yea, i read its one of the shortest Bond flicks ever. Only 1:45 min. Most Bond flicks are over 2 hours.

But its very efficient. Actually, the more i think about it, the better i like it.

I agree about Craig. He Kills in this role.

I agree whole-heartedly about Daniel Craig... and the editing of the action sequences.

Everything else... not so much.

**Reaper16** · 11-18-2008, 10:06 PM

I enjoyed watching ~~The Bourne Quantumatum~~ Quantum of Solace, but I can't shake the "empty calories" feeling. Craig was great. The non-action moments were highly-enjoyable.

The quick-cut action sequences and editing I am far less fond of.
