Anyone who says QOS is edited more then Bourne is High

[Liquid-Prince]

There is absolutely no way Quantum of Solace was anywhere as over edited as any of the Bourne movies. The Bourne movies have no single still frame, with the constant bobbing of the camera. No I love the Bourne movies so this isn't a Bourne bashing thread, but after seeing Quantum in theaters again and then watching Bourne, it's laughable to claim that Quantum's cuts are too fast.

By the way, I remember someone challenging me and asking what were the three moves that Bond does in the elevator after the headbutt. They were:

A punch to the chest
A kick to the chest
And a knee to the gut after disarming one of the guards

Bourne One was not too overcut to me but QoS would rival the other two. I am glad you caught that action in the elevator, for me it was another of the endless series of mind numing blurs. Even worse, it is not only the cutting in QoS that makes the action virtually unwatchable, it is the endless extreme close-ups for the action.

They are. And there are many chronological misses, overlaps and gaps. Poor job.

the action in QoS was a bit hard to see what's happening, but that's not what bugged me. what bugged me was the pace didn't slow down, i felt like i needed to suffer from ADHD in order to fully enjoy it. IMO adding 10 or 15 minutes of strategy/planning/intelligence/briefing scenes would have been very beneficial.
