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.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
