Not as fun as Casino Royale. No one has asthma or gets hit in the balls with a rope...

I am currently sitting on the hood of my car on the 10 freeway in Los Angeles where traffic has been stopped for two hours because of an accident. I watched all of Quantum of Solace on my phone, the way Marc Forster intended. We have not moved yet. Genuinely curious as to whether I will be able to finish Spectre before we move.

The theme song for this movie is very representative of the whole thing! The pieces are there and it sounds exciting enough but damn it really doesn’t… hit the marks right? I dunno. With the song, I think it’s poorly produced (like I know better than Jack White) but with the movie I know it’s largely…

what the actual fuck is a quantum of solace

007's manic-depressive suicidal fuck murder party, a fever dream ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE sequel you never got. Destined to be misunderstood.

imagine paying hundreds of dollars for opera tickets and then sitting next to a bunch of guys who keep talking over the show about pipelines

Bond as an unstoppable, chaotic train of rage covered in dirt, blood, and oil. This has a lean momentum to it that none of the others do and Forster shoots it in a frantic and fractured style that replicates the psychological intensity of his revenge, all while his wake starts to fill up with the mutilated corpses of friends and foes alike... Doesn't matter if it's the Andean Grand Hotel or a Motel 6, we're all in his dumpster anyway.

Okay so I'm going to assume the individual who was in charge of editing was high!

when you're watching a big movie series for the first time to catch up to the new one that just came out and you are obligated to watch that one that you just know you will hate... yeah

Bond and MI-6 STOP the CIA from doing a coup in Bolivia.

While technically the most "politically correct" Bond film, as it's about a "Green" NGO privatizing Bolivia's water, it's all the more sus because I shouldn't be asked to believe that Bond or Her Majesty's Government would be against something like that. It has much deeper problems than its attempt to make Bond seem like he kills people for good reasons, such as the fact that Marc Forster cannot direct an action scene to save his life. Too many cuts! Slow down!! Totally incomprehensible.

Much like the Star Trek films have an "every other movie is good", with the even numbers being good, the Craig Bonds' follow a similar…

Mediocre Bond movie with ugly camera work, a bland ing cast, and a silly, downright confusing plot all about stealing water; some truly riveting stuff.

have always enjoyed how this climaxes with james bond beating up a small frenchman

It's actually funny how the rebooted series that began on such an astonishingly high note comes crashing down all the way in this second chapter as Quantum of Solace fails to accomplish everything one expects from a sequel and is a massive downgrade in comparison to its impressive predecessor, with only compensation coming from Daniel Craig's brilliant performance as James Bond.

Serving as a direct sequel to Casino Royale and picking up the story right where it was left off in the previous chapter, Quantum of Solace continues Bond's quest for revenge against those responsible for Vesper's death and who this time is assisted by another agent looking for retribution against those who killed her family but their trail eventually…
