I loved the intense action. I loved the fight between 007 and Mr. Slate. I loved the gun fights.

I watched the movie a second time, and liked it a little better than the first time I watched it. Still, the biggest thing for me was I wasn't satisfied with how they explained, as they barely touched on, the development of Bond's feelings with Vesper, and Vesper's own.
Also, while I didn't have much of a problem with the opening scene itself, I thought the song that followed was the least, or among the least Bond movie-like songs for the opening scene. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan, but have caught up with all the others, and I enjoy them all, and Tomorrow Never Dies and For Your Eyes Only were good opening songs, and for the reboot I was okay with Casino Royale, but the rap song Another Way To Die hardly fit this movie, let alone a bond movie-- except the message you can't trust your co-worker in this movie. But, while the action scenes were done well, in the sense they put a lot of work in to them, but I really didn't care about the action scenes except I liked Bond's flipping rope move to shoot his gun at the agent from Mr. White's Interrogation, but otherwise the only action scene I appreciated was the boat scene, and the firefights at the end, BUT---the movie was 95% action about, leaving very little to appreciate the plot, as mostly the movie is running, fighting, driving... and the entire plot summed up and literally put together by occasional semi-vague one liners in between every other action sequence. They just made it hard to get sucked in to the plot and appreciate it. I was not satisfied with how they failed to elaborate on finer story details. Also, I hardly think of these girls as Bond girls, but good for Vesper, if they made that story stronger in QoS. Poor story explanation, poor villain creation, no tech, poor opening song, poor bond girls... and I really thought they should have said something more about both Vesper and Mathis, from their previous film appearance. |

Now I love the gun fights. Favorite gun fight list: The Beginning where he captured Mr White. 2: where he shot those body guards. 3: The gun fight at the hotel. Quantum of Solace had a lot of action in it.

It's not that it breaks all the rules, the problem is that it breaks rules that are good rules, rules that should not be broken. Even worse than that though, is you don't get any creative benefits as a result of the rule-breaking. Gunbarrel sequence at the end instead of the beginning, for example. Adds nothing.
We were watching it again last night and, okay, now I understand how he managed to find Yusef. Dominic Greene told him all about it in the car ride out to the middle of the desert. The Yusef scene still has a tacked-on-to-the-end feel to it. And the money. Second half of Casino Royale was all about the money...where is it, who gets it, how's Bond going to get it back. QoS doesn't even mention the money. The action scenes are a fail. I fear they might be filed away as something else, since it's clear they were photographed that way to make trailers. Good for trailers. Bad for movie. The villains are a fail. They're just not menacing. The evil plot is a fail. Water monopoly -- pfeh. Worst of all, though, this isn't really a Bond movie. I have the other 21, plus Never Say Never. I waited a full two years before adding this to the collection. It just doesn't fit in.

The Biggest question I have is HOW THE **** IS THIS A TERRIBLE BOND MOVIE!?! I love Bond all Bond movies, even the stinkers (Diamonds are forever, Moonraker, The world is not enough, Die another day), and I thought this was a pretty good one. Casino Royale did a good job at re-introducing Bond, but I thought QOS did a good job by bringing Bond back as 007. In Casino Royale we saw Bond get poisoned, lose at poker, get a gruesome torture, and quit MI6; The classic 60's Bond would never have that happen. I mean, I swear I'm on the verge of calling CR OVERRATED, and I'm already calling QOS underraated. I bet you if this came after DAD yall appreciate it. So go ahead and give me as many thumbs down as you possibly want, end the end its just an opinion.

Your boy Bond needs to keep his political opinions to himself. He just turned me off of seeing his film by opening his big British mouth. Somebody please tell him that his witty quips about American politics is neither welcomed nor appreciated. You bloody sod!!

The movies historically have had little or nothing to do with the original Flemming Novels other than Titles and character names. The movie Bonds previously played by Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, and Bronson have never even come close to resembling the Character created by Ian Flemming in his novels. The Ian Flemming Bond was a plain man described as somewhat stout, with a scar on his face. He was an alcohoic, smoked three packs of cigarettes a day, a sexist, and a very cold blooded killer. In the novels Bond was severly hurt or nearly killed in almost every story, and their was no Q gagets. Bond carried a 9mm and drove a lincoln Mark 5 with a 44 in the glove compartment. Quite different from the movies where Bond was a ladies man who seldom ever even got his hair messed up, drove exotic cars and had an endless supply of gagets. Then along comes the last two installments featuring Daniel Craig. Casino Royal attempts to start over and is adapted from the Original Flemming novel. It actually follows the book closer than any other film except for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." Daniel Craigs Character (although not quite there) is closer the the Flemming character than any other previous Bond. A very dark and dangerous killer. There has always been a discourse between Flemming novel fans and Fans of the Movies. One is usually either or, but not both. Fans of the Flemming novels usually do not like the movies. I think you may be seeing a reverse here as the franchise attempts to match the character closer to the original. Fans of the past movies may find a very different Bond. If you were a fan of the original novels you may find the last two installments to be the best; and Craig's character to be your favorite. If your a long time fan of the Movies and not the books you may not like the new Bond films at all.

Dont get me wrong. its a good movie, as any bond movie is but i just found it one long action sequence. AND I LOVE ACTION! its just so strangely different. its more action then dialoge. sometimes, and this will sound sad, i will watch a bond scene and later i will go between the lines and go all emotions about it. all i got from this movie was, as M said, blind inconsoulable rage. i quite like near the end where bond spares domanics life to save camille. it gave me the feel that it wasnt all about his personal revenge streak. it is the only humanity you see in bond for about 96% of the movie. its a good bond movie, just a different one. i still recomend those who havnt seen it but here is two points:
1) watch casino royale first or it will mean nil to you 2) be ready for violance |

Does anyone have any information on Moneypenny and Q? I mean I understand why Q wasnt in Casino Royale or Quantum because he wasnt able to use Q branch. Especially since he wasnt really on a mission and by the looks of quantum he isnt really on mission either. He hasn't "become Bond yet" but hopefully they have plans to put moneypenny and Q in soon!!!

I just finished the Short Story of this.
Now I thought it was a crap because they had little detail to work from from the book. However, I've now realised that they just used the title of the short story. The story is just Bond and the Governer in a room and The Governer telling a story of someone who fell in love and was betrayed, nothing like the film. So why did they choose to use that short story's name when they could have made up a film name, and stick in a brand new film title? A strange one I think.

The best quote from this film in my opinion was:
DOMINIC: (to bond) my friends call me dominic BOND: i'm sure they do Overall this film was sadly dissapointing (and the shortest so far).

Until number 23 is finished, Quantum will have to do. I have see it twenty times now and it does grow on you. I would have love to see all the old movies remaked with a real world flare. I love it.
