Hi, Just recieved my copy of the New Bond film on DVD. What are EON thinking?. This is not a Bond movie, It`s nothing but a fast gun battle from start to finish. The story is badly written, and they shouldn`t have continued on from Casino Royale. The film is very short on the Bond we know as a fun Character; as well as being short in length by about 40 minutes compaired to the last 17 or so films. Daniel Craig is by far the wrong person to play Bond.....! Bring Back Brosnan

Oh dear.

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

Oh dear.

Agreed. I think that Craig is one of THE best Bond's the series has EVER seen. Just watch his performance in Casino Royale!

Besides, we've already gone through this controversy in 05. Remember the rumors? He's too short, too blonde. The producers are trying to take the series in a more serious direction, which was lacking throughout the Brosnan years. And, quite frankly, I like the way that the Craig films are going.

Dude, Craig bashing is sooooooo 2006. Welcome to CBn... now you may retreat back to CNB.

How can you, how can anyone say that Quantum Of Solace is a bad movie? A bad bond movie? I don't get it. I think it is probably the greatest Bond film ever, along with From Russia With Love, Dr. No, Casino Royale etc. And Daniel Craig IS the best James Bond of them all.

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

Mind you, I'm not a fan of Quantum of Solace (I know that this isn't a Quantum bashing thread, but I'll make my point), but I will defend Craig until I am blue in the face. His casting was the best decision the EON has EVER made. PERIOD.

It's BOURNE 4, essentially. Still, I love the Bourne films so I guess that's not entirely a bad thing.

The story is badly written, and they shouldn`t have continued on from Casino Royale.

I know, dude, I know. What happened to the good old days when every Bond film had its own story to tell? What is this, LORD OF THE RINGS?

The film is very short on the Bond we know as a fun Character; as well as being short in length by about 40 minutes compaired to the last 17 or so films.

Brother, don't get me started. And what the heck were they thinking by putting the gunbarrel at the end?

Daniel Craig is by far the wrong person to play Bond.....!

If only Clive Owen had accepted the offer. Oh, well.

Bring Back Brosnan

They just might, you know. QUANTUM OF SOLACE was a box office catastrophe, and Brosnan was the only Bond American audiences really warmed to. It's my guess that BOND 23 will see his DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER-style return.

What about that other guy who played Band? Shaun Connelly, or something? He was pretty good in his day. Although, somebody told me he used to wear a wig!

It must have been a pretty good one, though. Because you couldn't tell.

Bourne 4? How can you even compare Quantum Of Solace with the Bourne films? Because of the way the film is edited? The plot in the film doesn't have any kind of parallels with any of the Bourne films, does it?

The script isn't bad written. It's very well written, by the way.

No, this isn't Lord Of The Rings. Lord Of The Rings is a fantasy movie trilogy about a hobbit named Frodo.

Quantum Of Solace is shorter than most of the Bond films, but 1 hour and 46 minutes is just about enough for the film to tell it's story. And the gunbarrel at the end of the film, was a way of showing that Bond has found his quantum of solace.

And Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever. He probably is (along with Dalton) the actor who has portrayed Bond more in the direction that Fleming would have wanted it.

A box office catastrophe? Have you missed the fact that Quantum Of Solace earned over half a billion dollars world wide?

I almost made a similar response to Loomis's post, but then I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was just taking the piss (although, given his tastes, who the knows). Afterall, Clive Owen couldn't have turned down the role of Bond, because he was never offered it.

[jaguar007]

Yes, I think I noticed a trace of sarcasm in Loomis' post.

[Vauxhall]

Indeed, certainly Mr Loomis' tongue is making a very noticeable dimple in his cheek.

I propose a radical suggestion: don't watch the Daniel Craig Bond movies. If you don't like him that much, then just don't watch Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, or his proposed other two.

Oh, and as a side note, they're NOT going to bring Brosnan back. By this time, he's probably too old, and they got rid of him becuase the films were becoming too unrealistic (like the GCI surfing scene).
