Quantum of boring

Posted : 6 months ago at May 10 13:57
Boring as hell, worst bond ever.... just another shoot them up movie....
where has the british humor gone?

Rating : 1/10

Only good for a rent

Posted : 11 months ago at Dec 12 22:47
While still better than the sleazy DOM-ness of any of Pierce Brosnan's James Bond, this one was boring, chaotic and generally pointless. James was jumping from place to place on a whim, his motives not quite explained or logical.

Still watchable but not great.

The Bond Ultimatum

Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Nov 20 1:46
"I think you're so blinded by inconsolable rage that you don't care who you hurt. When you can't tell your friends from your enemies, it's time to go." Quantum of Solace was intended to be the sweet dessert to compliment the main course preceding it (i.e. 2006's Casino Royale). By this I mean Casino Royale developed the characters and established the plot (all the vegetables, so to speak) with very minimal amounts of action (the sweet portions of the meal, in a manner of speaking). Quantum of Solace therefore establishes a reason for itself to offer nothing more than pure action. And therein lies the unforgivable, lethal flaw of this film: it's all action and style without an ounce of soul or substance. Even with the "sweet dessert" philosophy applied, Quantum of Solace is only marginal...Read more

very good, everything comes full circle

Posted : 11 months, 3 weeks ago at Nov 17 22:33
Despite what the crittics say about the latest installment in the James bond series Quantum of solace. this is actually what should have been expteced. With Casino Royale leaving on a high note(Daniel craig finally saying "the names Bond James Bond" and followed by the monty norman Theme song for bond). Quantum opens with a bang in which bond is in a car chase follwed by Mr. White's(Jesper Christiansen) Henchmen/bodyguards. the very opening scenes make you think that it might be a silent scene but this is not the case. the engines of both bonds Aston Martin Dbs roar to life with flare as well as the henchmen's. this is one of the various scenes thoughout the movie that does this. However, with brilliant Direction by Marc Forster(Finding Neverland) the scenes help add to bonds mood and curr...Read more

Excellent Follow-up to Casino Royale

Posted : 12 months ago at Nov 8 20:33
Quantum of Solace picks up where Casino Royale with James Bond seeking vengeance for Vespa's death. It's a quest that takes him from Italy to Haiti as well as Austria and Bolivia. This Bond is less charming and more of a relentless machine, willing to do whatever it takes to get his answers. The action is all out - sometimes over-the-top but there's a grittiness that prevents it from becoming cheesy. Marc Forster also puts in some slower and more human moments that form the heart of the film. My only fault with the acting is Gemma Arterton - her character, Fields, doesn't really do much and seems out of place. Olga Kurylenko is pretty good - she does a much better job than in Max Payne. I have no complaints with how Daniel Craig plays Bond and Judi Dench as M is always excellent. Ma...Read more

I haven't seen it and I'm not sure if I should...

There is always one film prospect a year that winds me up for no apparent reason and on this particular occasion it is Quantum of Solace: I can't quite put my finger on it but reinventing the Bond series just feels wrong. I haven't seen the film yet which, I know, makes this assumption inexcusably flawed but a fairly tepid response from the press and public alike only adds to my perturbation. Fair enough, Die Another Day and The World is Not Enough were poor at best, and sure the performance from Denise Richards was so unconvincing that even QVC Presenters exude more authenticity, and of course Halle Berry's spell as a bond girl was as interesting as a card board box but on the other hand they had great action sequences (for the most part) and some Stellar lines, I am sure that the future ...Read more

Nobody Does It Better

Posted : 1 year ago at Nov 5 14:59
I have always felt that Casino Royale was the best book in Ian Fleming's 007 series, it featured a Bond who was noticeably different to that in the films that followed, a more human Bond. Daniel Craig captures the essence of Fleming's Bond better than any, including Connery for my money. In Quantum of Solace agent 007 goes renegade in a raw story of revenge to find out who is behind the funding of the terrorist activities which caused his lover Vesper to take her own life. I'm ecstatic that the producers decided to make Quantum Of Solace the first direct sequel of a Bond film by picking up the action only a matter of hours after Casino Royale ended. And hope the series continues on this route. I found the action engaging but over-edited in some sections of the film. QoS runs at a br...Read more

Quantum Of Slop

Posted : 1 year ago at Nov 2 14:51
''Have you ever lost someone you loved?'' Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country's water supply. Daniel Craig: James Bond Casino Royale was a reboot of the Bond Franchise. Reinventing Bond and making 007 a more believable, grittier, cold Agent of MI6, breathing life into Bond again like GoldenEye did. So why do the film's creators give us this offering of disappointment? Quantum Of Solace barely has the authenticity to actually be a Bond movie, with all the equations of previous older installments stripped away, to make this a realistic venture. So we have no gadgets, no memorable villains, no Q and no Money Penny again like Casino. The result is a violent and sour affair, and...Read more

I'm sure it would have been better if...

Posted : 1 year ago at Oct 30 20:12
One note, Don't watch Quantum of Solance if you don't remember Casino Royale. At least I'm sure that would have made it a lot better. I didn't remember much about Casino Royale and Vesper, and since this really felt like a 2nd part of a trilogy, it didn't make much sense to me. I think this is the first James Bond movie that doesn't work on its own. They talked about Vesper a lot, and I sat there trying to remember how she died, or anything about how the last one ended, and I know I won't remember how this one ended either. The last "big" fight was a disappointment and all of the sudden the movie was over. I kinda miss the cool tech from the old bonds, the coolest thing they had was a few flashy graphic user interfaces. Lots of cool action, as usual. Fewer naked girls than ever. ...Read more
