PeeMarc Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeah, this is just my personal opinion, but im disappointed and pissed off and gotta get it off my chest. WTF have they done with with Bond?! Ive seen every 007 movie made and yes, some others did suck too, but... there are things which make most James Bond films unique and i think its impossible, if youre a fan, not to have expectations when seeing a new one. BOND 007 = Awesome gadgets (where was 'Q' in this one?), used in ingenious ways...hot babes... great cars, jets, etc... a really evil guy who audaciously wants world domination using insane and over the top means...sex, innuendos, double entendre, unbelievable stunts, escapes and rescues....great suits,... "the names Bond, James Bond"... amazing locations and massive scale... ****..the list goes on with ALL the great things that make 007 unique and enduring for decades. With MOST of the above taken out in this new flacide flick, it all seems vague and pointless and nothing more that something of the genre of 'Bourne Identity' or the like. Yeah, well shot and a few good action sequences. Yawn. The opening credits (another Bond ingrdient) done..hmm.. ok. I even kind of liked the more persnal angst and inner grind in this new Bond character. B U T.... where are all the things which make Bond movies what they are, and always have been, instead of just another ordinary, desperate spy/action flick?? Ripped off.

LakeGeneve Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I went with very low expectations and was not surprised by what I saw. Where is Jaws when you need him?

Beware the evil villages!!!! haha ...i f*cking KNEW you would do that, and was madly trying to edit b4 u got there. far too slow!!! I do have to disagree with some of your points; I thought the angst angle was great, especially considering the events of the previous film. The whole gadget things (Bond this may look like a condom but is in fact a Ferrari testarossa) was a bit too 1970's. It was good to have all the kitschi stuff when the actors lacked any depth (Moore, Brosnan, Dalton) but Craig is the best Bond since the bold Sir Sean, and writing more on the character suits him. My only real criticism was that it could have done with maybe an extra 40 minutes or so. Anyway, off out now. Have interview to be henchman to an evil village out in the sticks somewhere...

Personally I thought the silly gadgets were great in the day, but it had to move forward... of course, many Bond gadgets never made any film...

English_Bob Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I LIKE the new Bond movies... They're Bond movies for grown ups. Q wasn't in the Casino Royale which ROCKED. There were no gadgets - but the character of Bond was fantastic. With the old Bonds, you got the feeling of watching a kids' play... you KNEW everyone was going to get up after he 'Judo-chopped' them unconscious. Daniel Craig's Bond is a MAN'S Bond. Flawed and dark. Complete with a fighting physique and style that you can BELIEVE in. I KNOW this Bond can kick my ass. The last one to convince me of that was Sean... It's like the difference between Adam West and Christian Bales' Batman... This Bond is revolutionary - no Martinis, no 'Bond, James Bond', no one-liners and (thank God) no Evil Villages. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombiedriven Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 well coming from the fact they are starting at the begging and this movie takes place shortly after Casino Royal. go figure no "Q". Given yea the movie did lack what all the others did but it was worth the watch at any rate. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetieBabie Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 ripped.... definitely.... Daniel Craig's abs that is hehehe The new villain is a big wimp. I was really impressed with Bond's impeccable tailored made tuxedo in Casino Royale designed by designer Tom Ford. Thats how every man should look like in my world. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iam_sweethoney Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I dont think the new Bond is not bad... It's just different than the old ones... I do miss Q and all the fancy gadgets... I do miss the line 'My name is Bond, James Bond'... I do miss the hot babes and the naughty sexy scene... however, this Bond movie has the very interesting and complicated plot and DC as a Bond makes the character more realistic... In last two Bond movies, you can see his blood, his wrinkle shirts and so on.. while the previous ones, no matter how bad the fighting was Mr. Bond's hair was still nice and the face's still so charming... and I love SEAN CONNERY xoxo B.

CiaranM Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 in case ppl haven't noticed it's 2008 not 1960/1970 ... yeah Bond is different, but so is the world we live in. the real life gadgets we use nowadays r probably way in advance of the futuristic stuff connery and moore were using in their day !! i don't think anything Q would "design" these days would impress movie goers. i reckon daniel craig kicks ass and is the best bond since connery !!

bigKus Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Seen the movie since last Sunday, have been thinking what i missed in this Quantum of Solace.. Now i know what i missed.. I didnt hear classic "The name is Bond, James Bond" and "Shaken dry martini, not stirred" Kind of seeing just another action movie.., not spy style Bond...

DJTX Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Now some importatnt news: Places where James Bond made love In the movies, Bond is told 35 times that he will die. He doesn't, of course. What he does, however, is make love 81 times: in a hotel room (20 times), London flat (2), at her place (15), someone else's place (2), on a train (3), in a barn (2), in a forest (2), in a gypsy tent (2), hospital (3), in a plane (2), in a submarine (1), in a car (1), on a motorised iceberg (1), in, around, under, or by water (25 times). Of the 62 Bond girls, 31 were brunettes, 25 blondes, and 4 redheads. Women moaned "Oh, James!" 16 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
