I believe you are, Daniel Craig was so much better then Pierce Brosman.

[Ingram-J/WristbandClock]

Well I myself was disappointed with Casino Royale...it just seemed to drag on and not have the same Bond feeling that Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery first had. But Quantum of Solace was a major reprisal for me, and Daniel Craig definitely seemed to be a much more action Bond that past bonds. Anyone who thinks it sucks and Casino Royale doesn't just because QoS isn't flooded with shitty gadgets needs to go jump onto a live rail way.

I would complain that the whole shooting screen/blood intro that was so signature was used as the outro instead, but as it's actually there, I won't bitch.

[Slurpee]

casino royale had like 1 gadget and it was a fucking defibrillator

[Ingram-J/WristbandClock]

Aye, but people's opinions towards QoS seems to biased towards the gadgets, which is the most I'm a edgy teen thing ever. Then again, those biased reviews probably all came from 13 and under year old teenagers/kids.

[Slurpee]

where are you seeing this gadget schism?

[Ingram-J/WristbandClock]

After watching QoS at the cinema, I read some reviews on the movie. I personally preferred it to CR, but the reviews all seemed to dislike QoS, and there was a lot of mention of gadgets in most of them...most anyway.

[Slurpee]

have you any links

Not all complain about the lack of gadgets, but most do, which is sheer stupidity and lack of overall appreciation of the Ian Fleming series.

I think why watch james bond now, its just another actionmovie, the old bond movies had something special
why do theiy call it james bond

[PossumClock]

I liked it. Lotsa splosions, and i just like watching Craig fighting. :3

But I wouldn't say it was better than Casino Royale in terms of like, James Bond tradition... however neither really went according to tradition, because James can kick ass. :s

Who said anything about gadgets? QoS sucks because the story was stupid. Craig did a good job acting but the story seemed to have no real premise and shit was just happening.

[Ingram-J/WristbandClock]

Well, I didn't say EVERYone hated it for those gadget related topics, but a lot of people were for that reason, which is moronic. If you dislike it for any other reasons that's cool.

I got free tickets to a prescreening yesterday. It was alright, it was the first 007 movie I'd ever seen.

You didn't watch a real bind movie that night. James Bond would never have blond spiky hair.

Sean Connery kicked all sorts of ass.

Watch as he tries to beat a man to death with his own couch:

and the big Quiet Man-style "beat the living shit out of eachother for a long time" scene from From Russia With Love:

[buttplug]

I'd let Sean Connery fuck me.

Just sayin'

[Il Duce]

I liked the movie, personally. The choice to keep Bond a lot less subtle with less gadgets is well justified, in my opinion. Quantam of Solace takes place right after Casino Royale, which is when Bond becomes a 00 agent. So naturally he's not going to be fully developed yet according to the timeline.

[Topcatyo]

I enjoyed the action of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, and I like the realistic nature of the movies.  I just could've done with a lot more plot in QoS.
Still enjoyable.

[miracle fruit]

Yeah

I like how it's continuing the tradition of having occasional titles that make no sense without any context.

quantum of solace is the name of a short story by ian fleming

quantum is also the name of the bad guy company
