Look i thought it was great. It is meant to have parts of the old bonds, like the goldfinger scene, so u can relate it to them. The only thing i have an issue with is that they introduced this QUANTUM organisation and i rekn they could have introduced SPECTRE.

I really don't understand what the fuss is about there. If it was the same Bond there'd be a problem because he'd be, like, all "Golly, that's exactly the way I found Jill Masterson back in '64!" But it's a rebooted universe. Different Bond. That's alright by me. I do appreciate the subtle winks, like the Spy Who Loved Me reference, much better though. QUANTUM is an enormous fail. I was the Chief Quantum Cheerleader around these parts, being all hopey-changey, going on about how cool it was to just toss out a hint about the master organization in CR without naming it, letting the suspense sink in. I still think that was a cool idea. It was just a massive blown opportunity. I suppose from here on out they could confront one world-wide threat after another hatched by this evil insidious QUANTUM organization. But then it's just a carbon-copy of SPECTRE without Blofeld. Not good. Not good at all. QUANTUM has people everywhere...so that they can...steal water from poor people. Oh, I'm just shakin' in my boots here. Do you find this valuable? |

Let me be more clear.Quantum, the organization, is an enormous fail. Quantum, the movie, for reasons stated previously, is a mix. Parts of it were alright, parts were more than alright. On the whole, I'll have to confess to being disappointed. Do you find this valuable? |

quantum of solace was a huge let down. why did they get rid of martin campbell? he is the perfect bond director? the beginning chase in the movie with craig going after the "turn coat" MI agent was an editors nightmare. quick cuts here and there. there had to have been a shot every second. this was SO disorienting. campbell is a real film maker who is familiar with the franchise and knows what shots to put where. paul haggis?! come on...this is like, his worst script....why? because there hardly was one. action sequences...one to the next. the reason why folks loved casino royale was because the story was amazing. the script was spot on...reminiscent, actually, to film noir...when scripts needed to be tight...vesper and bond on the train? brilliant. what scene was memorable from solace aside from the opera sequence?look, no doubt, craig is the best bond yet....but this sequel left a lot to be desired...i think that there is a reason why bond films were never sequential...they could always stand on their own and made for great experiences. solace was a shy attempt. bring martin campbell back...don't use steady cams for action sequences...write more of a script and less of a "car chase" followed by "boat chase" followed by "airplane chase." broccoli productions proved that less is SO much more with casino royale. how could you not bring back the director who has reinvented bond twice with great success. shame on the studio. 3 out of 3 found this valuable.

Something I've noticed from people on here is that they don't think its realistic that Mathis was cleared and got the villa when QOS only took place a couple minutes or hours after Casino Royale. That means that the BEGINNING of QOS took place only a couple hours after CR. Mathis didnt appear until later in the film which was probably after a couple of days. I mean, the whole movie didnt take place right after CR, just begginning connected with it.

Also I agree with you on how it was good that the films were never sequential and were always stand alone. That gave them the chance to "wipe the slate" if they weren't good, like Moonraker, my opinion. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I do not like this direct continuation thing. If they are planning to continue on with the series for the long term it makes it hard for new younger fans to enter the series. I came in at Tomorrow Never Dies, and didnt need to know about what had happened in the previous movie, as it was a stand alone film. However now that I have watched them all, I see nods to previous movies, that is all that should be there, or maybe a character continuation eg Jaws. Its been a while since I watched Casino Royale, and it didnt make much of an impression on me anyway, so I found myself confused at certain bits, struggling to remember the bits from casino royale.

I agree with you commpletly I haven't seen Goldfinger but I saw the scene with the gold lady on the bed and that scene in quamtam of Solace was very similar. And I was terrified cause I thought they'd never do the gunbarrel. If u ask me the classic James Bond is gone and he probably aint comin back. And I like action in 007 movies but Quantam of Solace had action every 5 minutes I mean I was started to get bored with the action and if u know me I love action. But I really have to say this movie was disappointing

the action sequences were great, but i do agree that the it was a little overboard. I found myself struggling just to keep pace with the storyline. I would have wanted to understand the story a little more. In the end, the story brought Bond to Vesper's algerian BF. So OK, i understand that BF betrayed Vesper, but then when Bond said to M, "You were right about her"... what was M right about Vesper about? Because then Bond left and then he dropped Vesper's necklace. I'm still confused about that, i must say...

So tell me, is the "Agent Strawberry Fields" thing a joke perpetuated on the internet? I saw QOS this afternoon and don't recall the name ever being used.

i didn't think it was very good at first (the camera work was a bit dodgy in the scene where bond and the other 'MI6 Agent' fell through the window) but after looking up the plot on the internet i have found that it was an ok film

The "talk" (discussion) page on Wikipedia has an interesting discussion about this. I'm afraid it's somewhat degenerated into a shouting match about Wiki's policies with respect to movie spoilers, but some valuable information does remain.

I thought the storyline was easy but the action was so fast pace I had to see it again and that was when everything came together for me. My take on M being right about Vesper was her love for Bond and that she was not a cold hearted bitch. Remember the scene in Casino with Bond on the boat talking to M on the phone? I believe the line was "jobs done, the bitch is dead" (or something close). M's response was that Vesper knew she was going to her death and that she had exchanged her life for Bond. He drops the necklace as a sign he has closure and can let go of his need for revenge.For what it's worth that's my take. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

"So tell me, is the "Agent Strawberry Fields" thing a joke perpetuated on the internet?

So, even that her fruity first name is not mentioned, I think it is quite safe to say, that it is her name. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Now we just have to find out if there was ever a line in the script making light of it that thankfully made its way to the cutting- room floor... Do you find this valuable? |
