Forums - General Discussion - The Official Quantum Of Solace sucks thread

I really liked the movie, though it's complicated for no reason (like Casino Royale). As long as the action scenes are fun to watch, it's a win in my book!

I hate to see James Bond getting hurt though. Why did they start that with The World is Not Enough? o_O

Oh, and I want to see my funny Bond back. Craig's is like a hunter, but Brosnan's had more ''style,'' if you can put it that way.

Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Brosnan's Bond was more like a comic book. Craig does need a couple of one liners but I prefer him to Brosnan. When Craig punches someone it looks like it would hurt. When Brosnan did you were afraid that he would break a nail.

My way of putting it is:

For a movie, it was good. For a Bond movie, it sucked!!

- As you said, the villain was a wimp compared to previous ones like Oddjob and Jaws

- NO GADGETS!!!!

- No sarcasm/humour like in the bond movies B.C. (before Craig)

- Other than the short car chase at the start, not much driving.

- Craig is a terrible bond. He's such an angry guy, and he doesn't have the same classiness as Sean Connery or even Pierce Brosnan.

 

That no gadget I can agree with,but everything else is disagreeable. I thought it was a pretty good movie had car chase,plane chase, and boat chase what more can you ask for? Hell even had a chick covered in black gold .



I haven't seen it yet, but since when did Bond villains have to be tough? He fights lots of people who you might call wimps, who have tough henchmen. Christopher Walken isn't necessarily a great fighter, but he's got Grace Jones as his awesome henchwoman. Goldfinger had Oddjob. Several major villains are more brainy than tough because they're criminal masterminds. You leave the criminal masterminding to people like Blofeld and even Jonathon Pryce in Tomorror Never Dies. Henchmen do the fighting.

(I watched the first 4 Bond movies this week to pump myself up. And the old 1967 comedy version of Casino Royale is up on Hulu.com for free. I should watch that soon too.)

Have you seen the Casino Royale with David Niven?  It's pretty funny.

Bond's not blonde.



Bond gets hurt in every movie. In fact, any action movie where the protagonist is never hurt is a load of crap. Letting the protagonist get hurt is how you build tension, and then it's much more rewarding when they make an awesome comeback.

I hate Superman, but... imagine a Superman movie where the villain wasn't either...

A) a robot version of Superman with his same powers
B) another Superperson from the planet Krypton with his same powers
C) a nuclear Superman clone with his same powers
D) somebody with some kryptonite

The best part of every Superman movie is either when somebody goes "Hahaha, I'm just as strong as you!" and starts to really fuck him up, or when somebody shanks him with some kryptonite and he almost dies. Such a horrible way to tell a story... luckily Bond stories are also filled with babes, gadgets, one-liners, believable villains, and an interesting past.

(You know Bond could take Superman. He'd have some sort of lazer-watch that shoots out a kryptonite lazer.)
