QBranch, is that why he didn't write a red hot sweaty no nonsense love scene with the boy Olga?
It's a bit of a worry that he should be so susceptible to criticism...
Actually, the credited writers of Quantum of Solace (Haggis and Purvis) completed and turned in a script the day of the writer's strike, and it supposedly was not intended to be a direct sequel to Casino Royale. Why this was scrapped is unknown, but it was almost definitely a rushed effort that would not have been much better than what we got.
It's BAD editing and I'm sure most professionals would tell you that. It's just a weaker, rushed attempt to copy the current trends in films.
I'm glad Craig has come out and said he thinks the film is flawed. It is! It has some good scenes and Craig does what he can but its FAR from a great Bond film.
Thank you! Someone understands how lame Goldfinger is! =D> Finally!
I think there is a huge amount a pressure on DC at the moment. There is a lot riding on him and Skyfall. He made such a huge splash with CR and then QOS came with a lukewarm critical and fan reception. Skyfall is therefore the redeeming Bond film (or at least a lot is riding on it to be)--not to say that he lost Bond credibility with QOS, which he didn't, it's just that QOS seemed to underwhelm for a lot of folks, and DC is fully aware of this. Add to the fact, that we've been delayed an extra 2 years in production, so the anticipation is really building and I'm sure there's a lot of anxiey on Dan.
Basically, I think in order to really hype up SF, DC is painting QOS as rather weak, saying we got off track, but now we're back!
Reverse psychology? Could be. Oldest trick in the book and effective when used correctly.
Quantum of solace, better than goldfinger??????????? *starts to feel ill, falls to the floor, clutched heart in pain and passes out*
Which leads me to believe that people were just out to lambast QOS.
I mean to say it's a worst film than view to a kill,octopussy and for your eyes only..puhleeez.To think it almost equaled the box office of CR it was that crap
It's because the shakey cam stuff was overdone in QoS. With Bourne it worked because there was a tense, jittery build up prior to the action scenes themselves. The action complemented the fast moving story which was better established in Bourne. Here, it doesn't and seems more like a distraction than an asset. The opening scene is an example. There's no exposition prior to the action, its just...BANG.
OP and AVTAK are far more entertaining, less pretentious flicks IMO. Quantum does have its moments and has some quite cool shots and music but feels somewhat...underwelming.
Uh, AVTAK has Chris Walken, Grace Jones, one of Rog's finest performances, Patrick Macnee, a tight screenplay and a cracking title song from Duran Duran.
More than enough reason to love it, for all its flaws.
Look at this:
Now look at this:
Which shows Bond in more peril?
Actually, alot of people thought the shakey cam was overdone in the bourne series. And this isn't bourne, this is bond.
I'm not saying it sucked completely. Some of it was ok but as a whole it was mediocre IMO.
