I thought Quantum Of Solace just as good/bad as Casino Royale (with less cheese).

I can't see why people slapped QOS so hard when it was just following the same style and tone as the previous film.

 

Erm... as soon as Bond and bad guy #1 started fighting whilst suspended downside up, tied by their ankles to chandeliers and punching each other while trying to get a fallen gun (end spoilers), I knew we had left the world of Casino Royale and had starting hitchhiking back to Roger Moore land.

I have reserved judgment on QoS.  If DC Bond #3 is excellent, then it can be the bridge in a nice little trilogy.  I think there is something of a character arc for Bond continued from CR... but I need to see a third Quantum pic to know for sure if it works.

And GoldenEye is the best Bond movie ever and forever.  /Thread.

(By the bye, has anyone else noticed how many threads here de/evolve into passionate Bond analysis.  Hint: it's a lot.)
