The opening chase scene (imo) was the chase we never really got in CR. (Loved it!)

Altogether a unique bond film. Really enjoyed it even more slo-mo-ing some of the action scenes down on dvd.
When you do that you can really see the detail, they really did a great job trying to make it as realistic as possible.

But hey, about 790, like he said, he never left. So it should be business like usual? just kidding, haha.

But I did like that song too.

I’m more than ready for a smooth, suave Bond again. And some action scenes I can actually follow.

I have to admit to being distracted while watching so I never tried to follow every detail. Like Sabrina says in the article, you could probably go off and come back, and just get sucked into the action.

Like 790, I got the gist of it. Basically it was closing CR, with unveiling the baddie organisation, and closing the Vesper angle.

For me I really liked his need for revenge, and then at the end letting the necklace go. The whole thing with Bond was he used women and rarely let his heart go to anyone. This was because in the books the first had him falling utterly in love with Vesper, then losing her.
Now he has sought revenge and then let go, he will be that cold hearted charmer we used to know.

Really didn’t like how he beat up three men in a lift (elevator) with his hands cuffed, and the chase across the roofs came too soon after the car chase opening. SHould have just shot him and then moved on to Bond and M talking.

But overall I liked it.

WTF, dude. Seriously… 790 hasn’t been here in ages and as soon as he says something that you disagree with you drop on him like a ton of bricks?

I didn’t like Quantum either – the action scenes were IMHO almost impossible to follow (at least the opening car chase and the opera house) and I didn’t like that they turned Bond into nothing more than a revenge-driven murderer. But I don’t have to slam on anyone else’s opinion because they like it.

You can say WHAT you disagree without personally attacking someone else.

I like having you here but I’m really getting tired of your confrontational attitude.

Cool it.

The only purpose that Quantum Of Solace brought is that it has cemented Daniel Craig as THE James Bond. I am a Connery fan as well but Craig’s Bond has taken Connery’s and made it much more bad-mon! Something to lines of Denzel in Man On Fire. That kind of bad-mon type.

Everything else in QOS is just stank! The car chase stank, the fight in the hotel was somewhat decent but stank, Kurylenko’s role was stank. And the Goldfinger homage was stank as well!
This proves what I have been saying about the Branagh/Thor situation that just because you attach a prolific director in Foster (Finding Neverland, Monster’s Ball, Kite Runner) doesn’t mean it will turn out good. QOS is a good example of this. This film is like it’s theme song, it starts out great, the horns, drums, guitar, etc. Then…

Wow if people couldn’t get that basic fact thats pretty sad as both the main charcters had plot motives for revenge.
I loved the fast paced editing of the film. Its even better on dvd where you can slow it down and really notice the details. “Very nice!”

Just like Darth Vader in Empire Strikes Back…

I figured this film would be right up your fan-Base kenny,,,???

I never left,,,790

As for the movie, it was very disappointing for me. It even had a bad Bond intro

Thanks,

Vic
