Quantum of Solace (Bond 22)

[ArizonaSportsFan]

The recent Bond girls are highly average. During the last Bond, my mother in law blurted out "she is ugly" and "she is bald." Hilarious.

Eva Green is "average"?

 

[Mulli]

Eva Green is "average"?

for a bond girl. Yes!

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

for a bond girl. Yes!

If you mean that she is not an "athletic type", I completely agree.

Otherwise, she is smokin'....

But who is the last "great Bond girl" then? Not Halle Berry - using an athletic criteria - not really Denise Richards, though she is very cute as well. Certainly not Teri Hatcher.

Any of them bald or balding?

No - I couldn't figure out that comment. But I have it DVR'd to watch again before seeing QoS. Perhaps I will catch it this time.

I think it was the scene she was crying in the shower. That is what made it so crazy.

Went to a midnight showing last night. It was solid entertainment and worthy of the ticket price IMO. But it certainly wasnt as good as the last one.

Also a little to much of the new trend jumpy camera syndrome during the action scenes.

Like Michael Mann style (Collateral, Heat, Miami Vice)?

I just bought 6 Bond movies on Bluray (2 sets of 3) and each set is supposed to receive 2 tickets to this movie.

So it looks like I'm going to have 4 tickets to see this soon.

[Chaplin]

Surprisingly, it's receiving bad reviews as being just a standard action movie like Bourne.

I just sent you a PM before reading your reply. Awesome.

Fine by me.

 

[Chaplin]

Fine by me.

Not me. A Bond movie is great precisely because it's Bond, not because there are huge action set pieces.

 

[Mulli]

Exactly.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Not me. A Bond movie is great precisely because it's Bond , not because there are huge action set pieces.

That doesn't make sense. Any Bond movie is great because it is a Bond movie? Any Bond movie is great? If so, they how can it be just another huge action piece?

 

[Mulli]

If they add 45 minutes to the movie for fight/chase scenes that add nothing what little plot there is, you move closer to Bored Ultimatum and further from Bond.

There was plot in the BU eventhough you didn't like it. It wasn't as good as the 1st one, but most movies aren't.

I didn't say there was no plot. I said it was little.

My buddy saw it this morning and said it sucked compared to Casino Royale. The plot was "flat". It was an action movie not a Bond Movie.

Well that just fires me up. I loved Bourne Ultimatum.

:dcr:

 

[Jersey Girl]

Somewhere, I hear Jersey Girl rejoicing.

Me thinks JG needs to go see '300'. If she hasn't done so already...

How in the hell did I miss this, lol? And, yes, I saw 300 (hubba, hubba).

BTW, I am extremely disappointed in the final casting of this movie.

 

[Shane]

This defintiely had the bond feel to it rather than a Bourne feel. But Casino Royale was definitely a better movie.
