I like Craig, Casino Royale was a great film, and I thought Quantum of Solace was pretty good too. |
Yay, I was waiting for an excuse to do this.
Casino Royale:
- Some two people were killed in the entire movie.
- The plotline revolved around Poker.
- No Q
- Daniel Craig (yes, I know, whatever)
- Boring villain
- If Bond loses, he's funding terrorism! Oh, heavens, no! What if he broke a nail? This guy is rich enough to host a huge poker party in a five star hotel and bid $15 million, inviting some of the most powerful people in the world. He doesn't really need much more money.
But, it was written by Ian Fleming, so can't complain, I suppose.
Quantum of Solace:
Oh dear.
- NOT written by Ian Fleming (but then quite a few of the films aren't)
- Ridiculously over-the-top action
- Bond kills everything that moves, for no adequately explored reason.
- The evil supervillain this time is trying to dominate Bolivia's water supply. Oh, dear god! What could happen if he did that? It would be catastrophic! The price of water in Bolivia could go up, and some people might be a little thirsty! DISASTER! Besides, there is already a company with a monopoly of Bolivia's water supply.
- Villain was about as charismatic as a brick wall.
- NO GADGETS. Except something which resembles Windows 7 Touch, oh, and a camera phone which can identify people. Futuristic stuff. Who needs lame gadgets, like a laser watch, or jam trousers?
EDIT: Interesting thing to note: from personal experience, Americans love these two, and everyone else hates them.

get over yourself, I enjoyed both films and found them entertaining.
and btw, im English...

Yes, I know you're English.
How anyone can have enjoyed either of those films, particularly the second, is beyond me. But, an opinion is an opinion.
