Bond, quantum of Solace

11-14-2008, 01:33 PM

Who's going to see it tonight? I don't know if I'm going to see it this weekend or wait til my brother comes home..

replicant_argent · 11-14-2008, 01:50 PM

I was going to take the wife. I'm sick as a dog, and I don't want to try to enjoy it with a skull full of meds and poor hearing, not to mention coughing a lung out won't let others enjoy it. I had planned for weeks to go on the premiere, which is something I rarely do, but Bond films are the ones I make exceptions for.

I will likely catch it on Sunday morning.

Ditto... I will probably go for an early afternoon showing on Sunday to save some cash...

The stupid movie theaters here have the ticket prices jacked up to just shy of $10 each for a damn fri/sat night showing... lame!

I'm there tonight. I almost never go to the movies but a friend of mine set up the whole evening with a bunch of people, dinner before etc. How do you say no to that?

I've saw it last week and liked it very much. Bond as he is supposed to be!

hotreds · 11-14-2008, 06:01 PM

Saw it today- non stop action!

ucla695 · 11-15-2008, 11:42 AM

I'll catch it tomorrow or next weekend after the crowds dwindle a little.

VirtualSmitty · 11-15-2008, 11:52 AM

As soon as i'm home from my business trip

groogs · 11-15-2008, 12:57 PM

Work is going to be crazy for the next few eeks, so I am going to try and catch it on Monday night. I have really been looking forward to seeing this movie.

Caught a midnight showing last Thursday. I like Daniel Craig as Bond. The story I think was rushed a bit, but enjoyable. Didn't care too much for the villain or how the CIA is portrayed.

My thoughts exactly. Movie was fine but all action without much plot or a decent "bad guy".

As long as it's not Timothy Dalton, it can't be too bad.
My favorite Bond was the Lazenby version, but Craig does a great job as well.

zmancbr · 11-17-2008, 12:00 PM

It was pretty decent. Very similar to Casino in style, but the plot was lacking a bit for me... I hope they develop it better in the next one!

Still worth seeing though if you are a bond fan...

Don Fernando · 11-24-2008, 08:21 AM

It was much more violent, more action and faster then the other bonds, but I liked it. It was definately a break with the past.

spectrrr · 11-28-2008, 12:45 AM

I like craig as bond, really I do. but if they don't do a better job writing the future ones, bond will be deaad in a few movies.

this one had lots of action, sure... but plot was thin at best, and obviously stretched to fit over the holes.

the mark of a good movie is one that you hopefully would want to see again. I enjoyed my time at the theater... but have no desire to see it again!

I saw it today and I thought it was ok. Lots of action, we thought it was more in line with the Bourne movies. I was disapointed when Bond drank scotch, some gin thing and didn't get the girl. I was also bummed with no gadgets. What's Bond with no Q?

Waiting for the next one.

At that point it's really just another generic action movie.

Sounds like they're writing Bond out of his own movies, change the name and you'd never know the difference.

ucla695 · 11-29-2008, 11:45 AM

I liked it....great action....believeable that Bond can actually kick some a$$. I thought it was a lot better than the ones with Brosnan. Now Bond is back!
