Quantum of Solace

[LifeOfAPirate13]

I saw this movie at midnight it was good but not great. Very action packed with many stunts and scenes. I dont wanna spoil anything so I will wait till everyone has seen it this week to discuss further topics on the movie itself. I still think Casino Royale was better than this movie but this one had its own moments as well. Lemme know what you think.

I hated the theme song in quantum solace its the worst song ever

but a great flick

I heard it wasn't that great. I'm surprised it's a short film. Not even 2 hours.

I seems as though it is long when you are watching it. I would def. say go see it but I would also say dont expect another Casino Royale.

I had high hopes but it seems like everyone is saying it doesn't live up to CR... I'm not expecting an Oscar contender or anything.

Interesting 1st take from Bill Hunt @ Digital Bits. A bit of perspective, perhaps ?

Just returned from seeing QoS and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! I recommend it to everyone, especially those of you who consider yourselves (as I do) "Bond Aficionados ." If you haven't seen CR yet I would strongly recommend that you see it before going to QoS or else you will find yourselves a little lost with everything that's going on. I'm sure we will get into the critiques soon enough so I won't risk being a spoiler just yet. While I understand why some people might say "it's no Casino Royale" I believe these criticisms are inaccurate and off the mark. CR and QoS should not be judged separately against each other but rather as a two part movie. From that perspective I believe this is one of the best Bond films yet! In any event I certainly looking forward to the BD release!

Most movies are an hour and a half. {max}

2 hour movies are pretty rare in comparison.

I saw this last night and my overall impression of it is disappointment. I love Craig as Bond, but the script was absolutely terrible in Quantum. There was no character development, and I would even go as far as to say that there was no Bond girl. Both ladies in the film had very little screen time. This wasn't a long movie, so there was really no reason to cut out plot and development. I'd like to see a director's cut of this movie.

With that being said, and even though I don't like the direction of this series, I will probably go see this again at a matinee. I had such high hopes of this one after Craig's performance in CR. I'll give it another shot.

It would be nice if they added an extra 15 minutes of character/storyline development no doubt. Still enyojed it very much.Will probably go watch it again on my own since I watched it with a very family large group and it was hard to concentrate.

This is very true...worst Bond introductory song ever! The graphics were very cool.

Going to go with the family to see it tomorrow.

Saw Quantum of Solace today. The action never slows down for a second! In fact, the way the action is paced throughout the film, you'd think that you were watching the Bourne movies all over again! And I will go as far as saying that I liked it a little bit better than Casino Royale, given the fact that Quantum of Solace was based on a Bond short story. And Daniel Craig once again shows us why he is a kill first, ask questions later-type James Bond, and I can't wait to see him in the next Bond film...whenever that is. Even though Quantum of Solace was kind of short, clocking in at only 106 minutes (1 hr. 46 mins.) long, you won't be disappointed at the very least this weekend! Plus, it left me with a feeling of going back and watching Casino Royale all over again!

a bond film with out a "gun barrel" opening is no bond film.

I believe you "nay-sayers" are missing the entire point of CR and QoS. The producers have finally gone back to what Bond (the character) was always meant to be, at least how Ian Flemming portrayed him in the novels. And to you nitpickers out there I have in fact read QoS and know that the only thing the film and the short story share is the title. Although I would submit that their is a common underlying theme about cruelty and redemption between the story and the film but I digress. The entire film series should also be looked at in context with the times they were produced. The thing you are missing (or ignoring, IMHO) is that CR and QoS are Bond at the beginning of his 00 career. Can anyone truely say they are were better at the beginning of their career? I think not. Ahhh, I've said much more than I intended.

Just watched it before I went to work this morning. The 10:05, 11:00, 11:05, and the 11:45 showing were all sold out. So I had to go to the 12:30 showing. Funny thing was the 12:30 showing had barely anyone in it.

This movie rocks! I thought it felt and looked more like a bond film than CR did and I love CR. I really like Craig as bond and can't wait to see what they do next.

I missed out tho, the theater I had to go to (since the new really really good AMC theater for some reason wasn't showing it) did not show Watchmen or the Star Trek preveiws. I had heard they were going to have them in front of Bond but the Regal theater didn't show them. Atleast I got to see the Watchmen one on line last night.

Just saw QOS, it is a good action film but it didn't really feel like a Bond film. That being said, the action was fast & furious (sometimes cut too much) and the plot was compelling and I am looking forward to hopefully seeing another Bond that slightly lighter. Overall, it is a solid 7.5 / 10, it ain't Goldeneye but it is as good as Casino Royale and Craig is growing on me as Bond.

Even if they say this is about bond in the begining there is so many loose treads in there that I don't know where to start.

- dr no was made in 1962 that means before casino Royale

okey

cr was made in 2006 everyhting u see is 2006...... anyone see what I mean.

When they say bond is NOW well the bond timeline does not work at all. If they wanted cr to be based before dr no so maybe they should have taken the time back to 1962.

[Crim122]

I understand that these films are basically Bond becoming the Bond everyone is used to, and I hope they go back to the old style in the next one or Craigs 4th installment (if he is even still around). I want gadgets again, and I want villains that are trying to take over the world.
