As an action scene, maybe. But it featured at least one wonderful character moment: Bond holding a shocked Camille, preparing to put her out of her misery in an interesting echo of the shower scene from CASINO ROYALE.


Bond grew and changed as a character in reacting to Vesper's death. At the end of QUANTUM OF SOLACE, he's been able to convert his grief over Vesper's death into a positive good. I think that's the best-handled thing about QUANTUM OF SOLACE.


I don't think we needed to know to get a sense of what the moment meant to Bond's character. The important thing wasn't his conversation with Yusef (whatever it entailed). The important thing was what preceded it, when Bond saved the Canadian gal from the same fate as Vesper.

Ditto. I caught the Shower Scene thing too... defintely an acceptable follow-up for Casino Royale. QoS is more of a transitional film, and a lot of people aren't getting that. He loved Vesper, and she's dead-- for him and because of him. QoS lets him realize this and move on, while at the same time making sure such choices as to avoid his tragedy for others (like Corrine, the Canadian). I was glad he didn't kill Yusef, and that they didn't show us what was said: it makes it less of a revenge than a call of duty, and proves Bond's inner honor. If CR was 4.5/5, QoS was a decent 3.5/5. Go see it. (y)

Danny Boyle should be a lock for directing one of these - if, of course, he'd be interested.

And he could be a lock...

Their sources tell them that Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is pursuing Boyle?s services. In fact they say he?s been offered the job.

Hmmm...

Just bought this on DVD Saturday and rewatched it. And it while its not quite as good as the first time I saw it (in the time since, I have bought and seen Casino Royale), its still a well executed film. The only major scene I didn't quite care for as much was the dogfight. In fact, I actually like the first fifteen minutes now which I originally had a problem with. Go figure... :rolleyes:

And as for my Bond 23 director? Maybe not for this one, but Christopher Nolan should defintly be at least consider (as long as this dosn't interfere w/ Batman 3, I'm good!)

I'd love to see an eventual re-edit with Quantum attached directly to the end of Royale...

Fan edit anyone...? :D
