Damn hippies.
I was 10 when GE came out but the Brosnan era is still relatively recent and I wouldn't regard them as old per sa, especially seeing as DAD only came out 10 years ago.
That sinkhole scene ruined QoS for me.
As far as I'm concerned, Brosnan's
Bond is alive & well in my DVD player.
Really? I thought that was the least of the film's problems.
Brosan's Bond did a HALO jump in Tomorrow Never Dies, though.
I didn't like it either, not so much because of the parachute bit but because Bond just happens to land in the one that reveals the villians evil plan. I think that relies too much on luck and coincidence.
But I could've got past that. It was the weak villian, muddled story and terrible editing in the action scenes that ruined QOS for me.
I've noticed lots of fans on here say that they used to like Brosnan during his era but they don't like him anymore. And lots of those people are Craig fans. Not sure if it's just because he's newer or if their tastes just changed. I'm a Brosnan fan for life though \m/
Like Fleming's novel themselves, Quantum Of Solace actually highlighted a problem/global concern about (I suspect) 10 years before it will reach the general public's consciousness.
By the way, Baond and Camille didn't just drop on top of the water reserve; it was something they discovered as they were working their way out of the catacombs.
True. I guess it was a FOLOCEL jump (Fall Out, Low Opening, Conveniently Easy Landing).... ;-)
I will still forgive the movie everything else for that first 4 minutes of Aston porn. In fact, I'd forgive it everything for the 4 seconds of the Aston having it's nuts ragged in a tunnel with no other sound. Pure, unadultered perfection. If Top Gear made a Bond film, it would be that 4 seconds stretched out over 2 hours....
I did love that first bit with the Aston, the shot over the lake, the engine roaring, epic. I also didn't mind the car chase, but I think it could've been much, much better with good editing.
But it was a mess story wise imo. It didn't know if it's main focus was the Vesper arc or the water story. And half the time you can't tell what's going on.
Greene might have had a different real world plan but I think he was still a terrible villian (with an even worse henchman).
They discovered it as they were working their way out of the catacombs, which they wouldn't be in if the plane hadn't been destroyed. Like I said, I think that relies to much on luck.
I could. Very straightforward story.Perhaps your mind kept wandering off?
Dreaming of Brosnan...
:-))
:-))
I think Dench did that ;)
I couldn't keep track when I first saw it because I thought it was just too overly complex for it's own good. Here's the story summed up.
Bond captures White, White escapes thanks to Mitchell, Bond kills Mitchell then thanks to evidence MI6 found has to go and pretend to be Slate, then he meets Camille who he's meant to kill because her boyfriend the bland boring villian Greene told Slate too. Camille lives and it turns out Greene is making a deal with an ex Bolivian general (who killed Camilles family) to take over the goverment in exchange for some desert. Meanwhile the Americans want some oil and Bond is upset about Vesper dying. Then Bond and Mathis go to Bolivia, they meet an MI6 agent who is later killed in a stupid GF reference, Mathis is killed (didn't Bond use him as a human shield for some reason?), and M bangs on about trust. Bond meets Leiter who tells him the evil plan is going down in the desert, Bond goes there with Camille and they stop the baddys but don't have sex, meanwhile Bond is still upset about Vesper. Then Bond brings the underdeveloped Vesper subplot to a close by finding her boyfriend and getting him arrested.
I thought it was way too muddled and complex. SF had a much better story which was much more well told.
Bond gets a lead on 'The Organisation'.
Goes after it.
Comes across Greene and in the process of getting to the head of the Quantum snake, destroys Greene's eco-terrorism-extortion-plot thingy.
Finally gets the information he wants from Greene.
Exorcises his Vesper demons.
"I never left".
You see...Simple!!!
I admire your effort, but you're not even close.
You missed half of it there and didn't even bother explaining Greene's plan. So I think my argument still stands here.
