Not just any pom (surely it should be pome?) but a toff pom

Why would it be 'pome'??

Prisoner of Mother What?

Mother McCaffrey.

Indeed the villain is very weak.

I had those complaints at the cinema... but I later found out that the Invisible Car isn't as stupid as it sounds and that the reflective mirrors it uses in the film are based on - believe it or not - real science. The tech is similar to how a digital camera works but obviously on a much much larger scale. Not my fave gadget, natch, but like I said, not as awful as I first thought.

The Korean doesn't get plastic surgery; it's done by cell manipulation thru a specialist clinic where they re-encode your DNA or something. Strange, but I accepted it as fantasy.

The film ain't gritty Casino Royale, but it works as pure escapist nonsense, like most blockbusters are.

So DAD is okay because it's not plastic surgery, it's cell manipulation?

I don't like it because Madonna sings, the double entendres wind you (hammer to the stomach, not laughing till out of breath and it's generally shite with loads of CG nonsense.

Mark only enjoys Die Another Day because director Lee Tamahori's other job is being a transvestite hooker.

Especially when we all use Broadband anyway.

Thanks Dragon and Eva.

Woah, I wasn't expecting it to look that good from the teaser, I'm looking forward to it now!

Olga.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Jul 2008, 23:24

Agreed. This looks awesome. I cannot remember the last Bond which continued from the previous film, was it the blofelt days?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 05 Jul 2008, 20:49

I saw the trailer for Quantum of Solace in the cinema when I went to see Hancock. Looked awesome! 8)
Can't wait

Apparently this is the first true sequel to a Bond film.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Jul 2008, 12:06

It is a departure, but like you imply there have been a fair few reoccurring themes before.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 18 Jul 2008, 03:09

Just seen the trailer for the first time, and it looks pretty good, although it didnt blow me away as the trailer for the 1st movie did.

Craig is just an amazing actor though. Every scene you see him in, he just grabs it completely, oozing 'Bond'...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 09 Sep 2008, 22:39

Casino Royale was a reboot to be fair, this isn't.

Just saw the 2nd trailer. Also not as impressive as I hoped it to be.

I dont know. I liked the down to earth gritty 'realistic' action ALOT in Casino Royale, and in this trailer we already see alot of over the top action-scenes etc.

Also, I'm not really 'feeling' the villain yet.

I'm sure it will be a decent or good movie, and Craig will once again be amazing.... but I'm not sure if this movie will be able to match the quality of the first. I sure hope so.

Obviously, I'll be waiting for the taiwanese version of this movie.

dragonhero005 · Post by **dragonhero005** » 13 Sep 2008, 10:19

I agree about Craig and him again going to be awesome in this movie. I'm also more the fan of grounded down-to-earth action, but to be honest, even Casino Royale had some over the top sequences (chase scene in the beginning etc.).

I think it's Craig who makes them (more) believable. It's not just like "facial expression" - press the button - explosion, as we have seen it in previous Bond movies.

Daniel Craig just kicks ass.

But of course you're right, this whole airplane and boat and whatever sequences might be over the top.

Still, I'm now even more looking forward to this movie than after seeing the 1st trailer.
Can't wait to see the movie, and more of Olga Kurilenko...

WTF is that supposed to mean?

Casino Royale had it's fair share of over the top action. The crane scene anyone. This looks to be on the exact same level of gritty vs. over the top action.

He looks ace IMO. Europeans make for great villians.

Yi-Long wrote:Obviously, I'll be waiting for the taiwanese version of this movie.

Of course

.

I'm sure it will rock. It's pretty much the only British film we have left, don't take it away from us too 8). I agree with Dragon it's Craig that makes these Bonds so good. He will be hard to match, when he does go.
