Anyone else excited about Quantam of Solace?

Any one read the books, the 2 new films follow them more closely then any other Bond film.

 

Got to see this yesterday, very well done. One thing I noticed is that every five minutes there's a chase scene - car chase, boat chase, foot chase, plane chase, etc.

This guy seems a lot more brutal than the other Bonds, not as suave. Plus there's not many of the trademark Bond gadgets anywhere. Still had a great time though.

 

honestly, no one gives a shit about the books accuracy in bond movies.
bond movies had they very own and unique atmosphere produced by unforgetable settings (ken adams), unforgetable musics (john barry), unforgetable gadgets, action, car chasing, villains, henchmen, jokes, uniquness..

now today almost the only one thing is left seems to be the action.

 

Well I just got back from seeing it and anybody that doesn't think this is bond I say:

WTF is wrong with you?

Sean Connery> Daneil Craig> Roger Moore> George Lazenby> Pierce Brosnon>l TImothy Dalton

 

We're not you. So it's not so much what's wrong with us, but what's wrong with you? :nod:

Personally, I don't care if it's a good movie or not, it just does not seem like a Bond film. I thought Casino Royale was a good movie, but a poor Bond movie.

 

I thought that the Bond series was in dire need of some change... so I love the two latest movies. Compared to Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace is much less story and more action... but it's still a great movie.

 

Or maybe you're not a true fan

 

but i am one, and how i am!! as i already mentioned above. and i have to agree with mairsis.
my statements and thoughts about you can read above as well.

i think noone criticises the new bonds as bad movies, but as bad, or better said, quite incomplete bonds.

good action and bond actor /= good bond movie :idea:

 

hmm I thought I said something random in here.

Anyways from what I understand. Daniel Craig Bond is the Bond Ian Flemming had in mind. The Bonds we know are just the flavors the actors and writers added to the character.

 

so again, who really gives anyting about what Ian Flemming had in mind? a man who not even could be a witness of his own 3rd book adaption and all the following ones.

bond in mind of all the people is what bond did in the past 46 years of bond movie history. and again, so far noone criticises graig as a bad bond actor, if something is really worth to criticise, it's anything around graig.

 

I just saw the movie today. And I thought it was really entertaining. However, Bond really didn't act like Bond at all. He was really emotional and shit, and that just ain't Bond.

But the action scenes were SICK.

 

Hes not bond as you know him. Royal and Quantum are films to explain how he becomes James Bond 007. They explain why he ends up basically gives his life up for "Queen and Country". Before he is just an agent,a normal person who loses his wife hense hes a bit emotional and dark. M is almost a mother figure in parts of the film to him.Once Quantum is ended he more or less is the Bond we know.
People go in the Picture House expecting a normal Bond are going to whine about it, but if you look into the story line the film as amazing.

 

That doesn't make sense though. The Bond we know would have banged that one chick, told her not to call, and left.

 

Well Bond does develop emotional attachments.

-Tomrrow never dies (way better than I remember it being too)
-Oh her Majesty's secret Service (one of the BEST ones too)

 

But he isnt the Bond you know till after Quantum..

 

ooh..finally there's a point to agree in opinion :icon_bigg

 

I saw it yesterday. Awesome. Better than Casino Royale in some ways, which retro-nostalgia for the old skool stuff aside, I considered to be one of the best Bond movies yet. Fantastic.

This is how a Bond movie should be. I do sometimes find myself wishing for some of the tongue in cheek ridiculousness that was the Roger Moore era, but this is much more relevant contemporary and entertaining. I believe all the stunts are real too, none of the CG. I have to applaud that, and it makes watching it all the more exciting.

I don't know how anyone can call that steaming dogs turd 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' one of the best movies. The moment you say that, your opinion becomes so tainted that I can no longer to bear even seeing your text on my laptop screen. Anything to be controversial, I guess.

Whenever I watch the new Bond, it makes me wonder what could have been for Timothy Dalton. He was great, but too much of a juxtaposition after Moore, I suppose. That is why we needed Brosnan. He bridged the gap between what once was and what now is.

 

Not so much Dalton but Lazenby..he could've been the best

 

imho, it's a bit like casino royale...starts off at a great pace then slows to a crawl.

p.s. Goldeneye is still the daddy.

 

Goldeneye?!

WAHAHAHAHA!

The game ruled, the movie sucked harder than a blackhole.
