hey anybody notice the vag shot of the rape victim near the end of the movie?
...did I just see that??
I thought that at the time !
Saw this tonight .. thought it was excellent - Craig is the most realistic of the Bond's and a fine brooding actor. The movie was high octane, and fast paced. More a study of how Bond gets his revenge, than tracking down a baddy in an underground lair with a penchant for white pussy cats.
If anything I prefer it to Casino (which I re-watched the night before in preperation).
The next instalment should be interesting - they've fully established Craig's Bond : so now they need to give him a big challenge and adversary.

agreed i like this bond better than the pierce brosnan films to be honest, more realistic and way much better actor....to my opinion of course.....
Caught it last night. It's good but not great, it's obviously a continuation of Casino Royale and the impact of seeing a new Bond is somewhat lost with Quantum. But as an in-between movie, it does a good job of developing Bond's character further.
Didn't like the chase scenes, I think they were badly shot. Bourne had that shaky camera thing going, now Bond has this blurred action thing going. The action in Casino Royale was much better shot.
Did notice they're setting up Quantum to be an MI6 arch-nemesis, I think Bond films have always lacked something like that?
What Quantum sorely lacked was a good villain/megalomaniac and a good ol' plot to take over the world. This dude had no charisma, no presence, and being part of an uber secret organisation whose infiltrated MI6, he's best plan is to become a country's utilities supplier? Come on. As much as I appreciate the whole 'realism' angle, that's just fucking lame. It doesn't do justice to the Bond heritage and certainly not a good antithesis to Craig's Bond. Reminds me of Superman Return's Lex Luthor, up against the Man of Steel, he hatches a plot to create new/more real estate ... WTF.
I do like what they've done with the technology or lack of gadgets. It's obvious they exercised restraint and only outfitted MI6 with the cool stuff (which looks very much like Surface). But I do miss seeing more Aston Martin porn.
I think at some point, hopefully with the next Bond, we'll see a bit more panache in the character, a hint of the old Bonds. Even though they've 'rebooted' the character and is giving him more depth now, the class and exoticness of the old Bond is lacking and I hope that will be the next evolution of Craig's Bond.
The Bond chick didn't look so hot, prefered the redhead. And that scene with her coated in oil and splayed across the bed was cool.

Oh. My. God. James absolutely obliterated the island tonight. The last time there was so much destruction, Obi Wan Kenobi had to take a seat on the Falcon after the Death Star said "hi and bye" to Leia's homeworld.
I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
Ah I don't remember Goldfinger anymore, that's cool.
I like the direction of the current Bond, but I still think at some point Bond has to bring back some of the class and panache, otherwise Bond would just be Bourne. Not all of it, not the over the top product placement and completely unbelieveable action, it's nice to see a human Bond now, but just some of the suaveness and coolness. Right now Craig's Bond still feels like a diamond in the rough.

Craig's Bond is a work in progress - remember, this followed on from Casino and he'd only just made his 2nd hit for "00" status.
Now his character has been established they can go for more subtlety in the 3rd one, as we already know what he's capable of.

in the event that no one knows this, casino royale was actually the first bond novel to be written about an agent by the name of jimmy bond. the bond story has pretty much been reborn, thus the lack of gadgetry, give it time it will come.
Better than the last bond but still shit compared to any with Sean Connery or Golden Eye...and a couple more...but I can see fagot boy coming into the role nicely. Compared to Casino Royal this was much better.

Quantum of Solace was ok, but not as good as Casino Royale. Quantum felt rushed with the action scenes and didn't have quite the story overall that Casino had. Daniel Craig was solid again as Bond. I am however hoping for a different director next time.
