Quantum of Solace

Yeah, that guy with the tweed jacket and the rather posh accent, who talked about them dumping marked bills into LeChiffre's operation. Seemed very Q-ish to me. I was half expecting them to call him Major Boothroyd as he seemed like he was really intended to be that character.
 
it isn't an intelligent film at all - bourne spremacy managed to get plot and character across during relentless action scenes, this didnt manage at all
 
As I have mentioned before I thought it was unnecessary. It was like a GCSE graphics student who has just discovered how to use typefaces for the time and insists in using them whenever wording is required!

Well I suppose they get an extra point for not using Comic Sans! lol
 
One thing I will say about that is that the box sets do always sell which at this stage I think is very wrong. I'm collecting the DVD's at the moment but I refuse to do so in a box set. Because the franchise is not yet done and dusted and I don't see it going for a long long time.

I was offered the chance to buy 21 Bond films including Casino Royale for
 
if someone had told me 5 years ago that we would have a blonde James Bond with zero charm and charisma,and the gadgets would be gone,along with Q,Moneypenny i would have said they were insane.

What was the point of the bad guys henchman,the one with the terrible haircut-he wont be remembered like Oddjob,thats for sure
They've taken all the humour and the fun out of James Bond-
 
Craig = No Bond glamour, no aspiration. Nothing.

James Bond should be someone you aspire to be like, (perhaps not the killer element of his character lol) but the rest. Craig is totally non-glamourous. In this respect he's miserably miscast to the point of it being painful and a sick joke, but go ahead, watch QOS and keep him in the role. God bless the power of foolish people and their eternal ignorance. :rolleyes:
 
I actually liked Dalton as well. The guy is saying 'i think' not 'it's a fact', so I don't see the problem.

See me, personally I don't rate Sean Connery that much, and that'll probably kick up a fuss.
 
No!!!

John Cleese did nothing for me when he was R/Q.

Every time I saw him on screen I remembered his Sainsbury's adverts. And those things are another subject matter entirely!
 
Forster relied on subtext to get the message across.

Maybe that was never going to fly with the multiplex crowd but Bond aficionados will thank him.

I've seen it twice already & can't wait to see it again.
 
I've got Bond on the brain. The character is just so iconic. Many people might be enjoying the new toughness of the Daniel Craig Bond but for me watching Roger Moore's "A View To A Kill" brought back what Bond should be all about. When you're missing the likes of Q, Moneypenny and the megalomaniac villains you're killing the films, particularly the way we've become used to.

Things change though, and over the decades the Bond films have always changed to suit the times. Maybe this a change we're just going to have to get used to. I've love to see them back as they were but at the same time I don't see Daniel Craig's Bond going "Ahhh, Moneypenny".
 
I was wondering why the gunbarrel was at the end also.

Is it possibly because now that the Vesper/revenge story is over he is now the Bond we have known from the previous films?

Of course tchnically this is tripe as he has now changed into Jason Bourne.

I am still in a state of shock after Friday's viewing at how unbond film(not book) this film was. No real original stunts.....bourne outtake chase scenes.....Craig was good but not totally Bond in this one. To superhuman.
 
To be fair though that proves so little. Cinema prices are rising so much that it's very unlikely that these days each new film won't go on to beat the previous one. It would be interesting to see admission data; that would be the real tester...
