Anyone else excited about Quantam of Solace?

[GodofHardcore]

I'm a huge Bond Fan Favorite bond being ofcourse Sean Connery.

Casino Royale quickly became my favortie Bond flim because it was back to Sean Connery Basics with out the Goofy antics of Blofeld (the insperation for Dr Evil) making things Campy

That Said this new one looks pretty good too. Daniel Craig is by and far the Best Bond since Sean Connery and I love Judi Dench as M.

Anyone else looking forward to seeing it this weekend?

[graciano1337]

Yes. I'm so excited. I just can't hide it.

[Borman]

Just saw it. It was only okay. It was fun and all, but it wasnt some great movie or anything.

[oldengineer]

The game of the film is by far the best 007 game ever made, thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the bit where you have to get back to the Aston at Casino Royale.

[chaoticdaos]

Is it as funny as casino royale? I loved the beginning of CR because it was action packed and the black guy ninja'd his way around obstacles and bond just busted through them.

Think "strength boss battle from house of the dead.

[oldengineer]

Yep, its quality.

[Tatsujin]

i'm a huge bond fan as well and i give not a little bit shit on the new stuff (anything newer than licence to kill).

casino royal was indeed better than almost all the prev. stuff which brosnan acted in.

i didn't see the new flick yet, but wat i heard off, there are almost no bond elements left, which probably makes it the worst movie ever in terms of bond flicks.

i'm a huge fan of connery and moore, both of them had a great and unique appearance and a very own and different character role. i also liked lazenby since he played in one of the greatest bond movie of ever.
dalton was a little bit a case for its own, but still i liked his two movies since all seemed to be presented and well set. nice barry BGM, the old broccoli & saltzman brigade all the stuff and gadget etc. a bond needs to create the needed atmosphere. he was a little bit sentimenal thought.

anyway today almost all of the old spirit is gone and what's left are solid action movies a la bourne & co.

IMO they should give this francise a head shot and bury bond for ever.

Saw it on saturday. Sucked. I like the intro music though.

Better then Goldeneye?

(It's old now but you know what I mean)

[JamesMichael]

Goldeneye the film and the game are my favs. Not a fan of Daniel Craig to be honest

[PhreQuencYViii]

I liked Brosnan but I'm not huge into 007...

[GodofHardcore]

Brosnon was a good bond but in Bad movies.

Gagets and Crazy super villians just aren't realistic in today's atmosphere so Bond has to evolve with the times as Roger Moore did with his tonge in cheek bond, as Brosnon did with his 90s cheese bond and as Daniel Craig is doing with his Post modern humanized Bond.

I tend to like Bond Films that rely less on Gadgets and silly villians so From Russia with Love, For your eyes Only, Casino Royal Those tend to be my favorites.

But there's no disputing that Goldfinger is 12 kinds of awesome.

Worst bond though?

Die another day.........it was utter shitfuck.

[Calpis]

This one was OK, but hardly felt like a Bond film, they're really pushing the envelope (in both good and bad ways).

[Tomcat]

Quantum of Solace is one of my fave Bonds. Its main problem is it follows Casino Royal so has to live up to the stupidly high expectations it brings. Royal was so big its hard for Quantum to be as big again. In its own right its an amazing film.

People have slated these new Bonds as "not being very Bond like". Follow the storyline and there is a reason for it - in it he is not 007. These two films set James Bond to become the Bond he is in the later films. For that reason Daniel Craig plays it perfectly.

[GodofHardcore]

Yeah I think alot of people forget this. They're so critical of it for not being Bond like they forgot he like JUST got his 00 status.

But also this is an updated modernized Bond as well. For him to be relateable he has the be gritty as is he now.

Did you know Ian Flemming partally based Bond on Himself?

[mairsil]

Yeah I think alot of people forget this. They're so critical of it for not being Bond like they forgot he like JUST got his 00 status.

No, it's because it is effectively a prequel and a reimagining of the Bond character/mystique and people are getting sick and tired of good franchises being screwed around with. Bond didn't need to be "updated." I haven't seen it yet, but QoS looks less like a Bond flick and more like a revenge flick a la Crank or Payback.

Better then Goldeneye?

Of course.

le exact!

[GodofHardcore]

after the last 3 Brosnon films BOND NEEDED to be reimagined.

In all honesty really before 9/11 what exactly was there for bond to do?

[Treamcaster]

Humm...no.
