John Glen...? Dop-Alec Mills...? Roger Donaldson....? Micheal Apted...? Vic Armstrong..??
Madonna...???? :-q
You can go on and on....x.
That scene is great.
That was an awesome scene, classic!
That was an awesome scene, classic!
It seems to not be so controversial after all...
Yes, I watched the first half of QoS last night, and the opera house scene is really classy! Bond just shows up, steals a Quantum earpiece from a unsuspecting member, spoils their planning conversation, takes out his pursuers, and leaves. Pure 007!
but it is Qantum of Solace- the pimple on the ass of Bond Movies
I love when John McClane does that in the Die Hard movies too! :D
It's also my favorite part of Quantum of Solace.
:)>-
I'm sorry, but the "pimple on the ass of Bond Movies" will always be DAD.
I'm not a big fan of Quantum but that's a little extreme.
The movie is kinda sh&te, so at least he got the general area correct. :D
And when you consider extreme read some threads on Brosnan or DAD, than this is rather friendly as opposed to extreme. IMHO
Yes maybe not one of the Best Bond movie ever made but I can think of 7 Bond movies that are worst.
That is were you and I disagree, QoS is a movie made upon an unfinished thought camouflaged with editing and arty farty. Yes it has it moments like the operahouse but overall the movie should have been postphoned and made decently. The last movie suffering from such an ordeal was actually LTK and there they did a better job even if the overall result was less exciting than an episode of Miami Vice. All IMHO of course.
DAD is a movie made upon solid but wasted ideas camouflaged with CGI by a Hollywood hack. Yes it has its moments like the underground tunnel but the movie should have been postponed and made decently ;)
God, I don't mean to defend QoS but to say, as a whole, its better than DAD is pushing it.
Seems to be controversial at the moment........
So it's a better script than FRWL, OHMSS, TLD, GE and CR??
CR is at the bottom, so yes. As for the other 4 they are slightly behind.... and I'd add TMWTGG too.
Yes it has one bad CGI moment that annoys the hell out of every 007 fan, it has that invisible car that annoys some fans. And it director was not a Hollywood hack but an Kiwi, and some of his earlier work is actually very good. He is an example of how Hollywood corrupts, or in this case EON f*cks up they should have paid for decent CGI or lose the scene or rewrite it.
Exactly why do people defend QOS- it is not Bond its nothing more than a carbon based copy of Jason Bourne with a confusing mess of a script, a villain in which is the worst villain in the bond series of all time (yes even Gustav Graves is more threatening than an evil french enviromentalist who wants a couple of extra dollars on people's waterbills)
add that with a bond girl which is so dull and boring that they should have killed off her instead of the hot ginger mi6 agent fields.
and not to mention the seziure enducing editing and directing
calling QOS a pimple on the ass of bond films is a quite generous statement as i think it is truly a horrrible thing that should be destroyed, erased from history and that the producers and director should be fired...out of a cannon into the sun!
Die Another day had a good first half and the second half was shit
It actually has a lot of bad CGI moments. However the windsurfing scene is the worst of the bunch. Others include the lazer following Bond across the ice in the rocket record breaker thing, Bond and Jinx (urg!) fighting in a cartoon aeroplane and the helicopter falling out of the sky.
I'm not counting some shoody model work when the rocket thing goes over the cliff and Zao's car crashes into the icy water. Yes GE had some shoody model work too but at least that was done by someone who was a veteran in the craft and had worked on not only some of the 1960s Bond films but also one of the most popular British children's programmes of that decade. I think for that film it was meant to be shoody.
I will say that DAD does have some good - dare I say great - scenes but it also has some truly terrible ones.
I completly agree with 002 on QOS.
About Camille or the "seizure enducing editing and directing"?
I, however, am gonna give it the "seizure enducing editing". I saw somebody have a seizure in the theater when I went to see it.
So if a Bond girl was supposed to be bald, fat, one eye missing and a huge scar on her cheek, you'd accept that as well ??
I don't care if Camille was meant to look like that... I want sexy women, I want women in bikinis in Bond films !! Camille is not a Bond girl, she's too boring, dull and ugly to be one. I don't want 3-dimensional Bond girls, I just want glamour and sexy women !! preferably wearing almost nothing !!
I can't believe EON completly insulted the Bond girls legacy when they decided to make this utter shyte main female character... that's not a Bond girl, she doesn't belong in a Bond film !!
I remember the unfinished comic 'A Silent Armageddon' and the Bond girl in that story was a paraplegic in a wheelchair. At least in issue 1, Bond and her never slept together. They never finished the damn book though- maybe there was another girl in the story (though I can't completely remember-- the wheelchair girl may have been like 15 or something. I'll have to dig that book up and see for sure)
