Bond 22 : Quantum of Solace


Recommended Posts

I actually think the best Bond movie was, "You Only Live Twice" with the space station, man that was a classic :p

I thought that was Moonraker with the station. Only Live Twice was the one with the fake volcano in Japan, where they were stealing american and russian spaceships, don't remember if they ever had a space station in that one..space ship yes.

I think I also read a romour that the story could be similar to, or based on the same story as For Your Eyes Only.

Edit: Correction: It might be based on a short story included in For Your Eyes Only.

For Your Eyes Only was the last good Bond movie Roger Moore did. He should of left and that high note, instead of the rubbish Octopussy and A View To A Kill. :x

A View To A Kill had awesome music (Duran Duran), and Timoty Dalton needed a little bit of time so he could play The Living Daylights.

And I think I'm the only one that enjoyed On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I loved the music in it.

View to Kill was a good film and as you said the music is amazing.

I Agree, i thought casino royale was boring not a patch on the Bourne Ultimatum.

i disagree... i think Casino Royale (9/10) was FAR BETTER than Bourne Ultimatum (7/10).... and still even better than the best Bourne film, which is Bourne Identity.

i assume your basing it on action? ... cause action wise sure Bourne has MORE (but that jerky camera really sucks in it :( ) but the character itself, i think daniel craig's bond is far more interesting than matt damon's Bourne 'character' in general.

and like i said before (in my opinion) i think the only stand out Bourne film of the three is the first one (Bourne Identity) which i gave a 8/10.

i like the cold feel of craig's bond character quite a bit... thats what ultimately made the movie so great for me besides the general plot and the way it was shot etc which helped it quite a bit to... with the darker feel to it vs previous bonds (which i still like :) ).

i guess the people who dont like it... must not see that or they just dont care for that sorta bond.... o well nothing i say will change your mind since you just dont see this like the majority must see.

i like ALL the bond films myself... when i was younger i never liked Timothy Dalton's 007 character but when i got a little older i like him now.... you might as well say out of all the bonds (Connery/Lazenby/Moore/Dalton/Brosnan/Craig) that Craigs bond is the closest to Dalton's bond character... where there more into the brute force/cold blooded stuff, than the smooth stuff like Brosnan/Moore etc was.... i think connery had a good balance between the cold side and the smooth side ;)

p.s. @ sundayx .... nice logo you made ;)

Personally i see Matt Damon as jason bourne whereas Craig Daniel just isn't bond in my eyes.

As long as the movie has some kind of laser in it (laser pointer, laser gun, lightsaber, laser mouse, laser surgery, whatever), I'll be happy.

Also a suitably scarred one eyed madman and some nice ###### :p

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of the name. It just doesn't have that Bond ring to it! Also, the new direction in which the Casino Royale took was definitely a move in the right direction - the one think I loved about Casino Royale was that it was serious.

Anyway, regarding the girls; excellent choices. Especially Ms. Arterton!

Looking forward to it. Casino Royale wasn't my favorite but it was fairly good. Once you get over the fact it wasn't a typical bond it was quite enjoyable. To be honest the last James Bond before Casono Royale I really liked, and coincidently my favorite, was GoldenEye. I thought Pierce was great in that film but after that his movies really went down hill (not really his fault but I can't say I overly enjoyed them). And to that end I think Golden Eye was probably the closest Pierce Bronsan ever got to the character Daniel Craig played. Sure it wasn't as serious, but I think the movie in general was more serious than his later outing's and also was alot less invested in over the top gadgets which to me made it more plausable in a sense and fun to watch.

I think the more serious approach works. The problem with trying to be overly fun is that quite a few bond films get it wrong and go too far. The one before Casino was a perfect example what with the stupid igloo temple and a giant mirror the size or 20 football fields that they put secretly into space. I think the more serious bond lends itself to a more interesting character and potentially one you care more about than some of the more goofy bonds of past.

I'm glad that Casino wasn't all cars and gadgets but. We've had 21 films of that and I personally find 95% of car chases really dull. I just dont think a big pile of metal moving about is anywhere near as exciting as a chase outside of a car where alot more is possible mobility wise. I'd rate the chase at the start of Casino Royale above any car sequence I ever saw in any other bond movie. I duno, it's likely just me but the car chases never did it for me.

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time.

    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
