I can't wait to see the next one. Casino Royale was about 5x better than the previous few put together.

Yeah, completely agree. I was getting tired of the over the top, gotta out do the last movie direction things were going in. I was going to skip Casino Royale but, glad I didn't because it was probably the best bond movie in some time. Haven't read the books but, it is interesting that Quantom Of Solace is the first true sequel in the Bond movies as well.

Some ten years ago, I published a review of Tomorrow Never Dies entitled Bond Is Dead.

I felt the same way for most Brosnan outings except this one, which I liked mostly for starring Michelle Yeoh as an Emma Peelesque agent, and for the scene where Bond kills Kaufmann in cold blood. When I saw the jump at the start of Goldeneye (which was so 90's "extreme sports" dated already) my heart sank with him going down, and I'm not talking of the scene where he jumps towards the plane and land it. Though these movies paid tribute to "the legacy", they were dated before they ever came out, they were parody of 60's movies done in the 90's, whereas CR is a movie of the times. If QOS is as good as CR, it's gonna be better than Dark Knight. If it's better, then it'll be the best franchise movie of the year.

Quantum of Solace best movie of 2008 no doubt.

It's actually titled "Quantum of Solace". As for spacey, the word quantum refers to a specific amount of something, and the word solace refers to comfort... so effectively it means a certain amount of comfort. I think it's intended to be about his recovering from the death of the girl in Casino Royale.

[The Big Blue]

Well, it's no Octopussy but I guess it'll do.

[WickyWoo]

I went with my brother and my dad to see it (all long time Bond fans) and we all walked out saying "THAT IS HOW BOND SHOULD BE DONE!".

Exactly the opposite for me

I didn't want to BE Bond at the end. He's supposed to be a male fantasy

Gadgets, Q, pointless double enterdres, and for god's sake the theme music when something cool happens, they all need to be back.

Courtesy of IGN:

"But why that title? Well, it comes from a short story by Bond author Ian Fleming that appeared in the 'For Your Eyes Only' collection of short stories about the English secret agent.

It revolves around a boring dinner party attended by 007 where he strikes up conversation with the elderly governor of the Bahamas. He tells Bond a story about a tragic relationship between a former civil servant and an air hostess that ends in bitter divorce. Apparently the story gets Bond thinking about his own life - and makes him realise his own adventures often do not compare to the real drama of everyday human life.

As well as the title, we also heard some more about the plot. Apparently it will pick up from when Casino Royale left off, and begin with Bond and M interrogating suspects who reveal the shadowy organization who blackmailed Vesper.

An MI6 traitor leads Bond to Haiti, where he meets Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko, who introduce him to ruthless business man, and the villain of the piece, Maurice Green (played by The Diving Bell And The Butterfly star Mathieu Amalric.)

Bond's mission takes him across Austria, Italy and into South America, where he uncovers Green's plan's to take control of one of the world's major natural resources.

But how does the titular short story go with the plot? We're not sure, but it does seem to indicate the screenwriters have continued where Casino Royal left off in introducing more character-driven and grown-up elements to the series.

But we still don't think the film will become an introspective art movie, as producer Andrew Wilson also told us: "It will have much more action compared to the last film, probably twice as much."

We also heard that Bond girl Gemma Arterton will "get to kiss bond", that Vesper "will certainly be on Bond's mind" - but Eve Green won't appear in flashbacks - and that the film will continue to explore the relationship between 007 and M, played by Dame Judi Dench, and include some typically fractious banter between the two."

I hope not !

[Bullseye]

I think thats a silly title.

[savage1984]

I can't wait. The last Bond was so well written and well acted... unlike the last few brosnan bond films, I really am looking forward to this one. I really like the fact that it picks up right after the last one left off. It makes it more episodic and awesome like this
