Things I dont want see in Bond 23:

Bond car.

Felix Leiter.

Everyminute relation and coommunication with M-MI6.

Busy and mixed looking MI6 office.

[00Twelve]

Pre-CR levels of fantasy

An abundance of quips and/or dick jokes

Multiple henchmen, thinly characterized

A classic monologuing villain

No consequences to Bond's actions

[Elvenstar]

- Bourne action, shakey cam
- pre CR fantasy
- copying of CR or Qos

[Mister E]

Desperately trying to make a villian or henchman memorable with a stupid deformity.

Every single character talking in quips and one liners. The most annoying thing about the Brosnan era.

Villians having unlimted resources and massive armies and for some reason can avoid detection from every government in the world.

No more stupid names like Warmflash or Christmas Jones.

All the cliches of the James Bond character having to preformed in every bloodly film.

No Q or Moneypenny.

No more stupid gadgets "It's a cell phone and a taser !".

A squid. Hate squids.

[Ravenstone]

Halle Berry

[Zorin Industries]

A cheese board. Always holds a film back when used.

[Mr_Wint]

Most of the things I saw in Quantum of Solace.

[__7]

1) Villans who live in an underwater palace, huge hideout inside a volcano or some such crap

2) Q and Penny forced into the story because, well...it's just time to bring them back

3) Brosnan, Moore-type dialogue

4) "Every bit his equal" Bond girls

[Zorin Industries]

Vanilla fans sat next to me who wouldn't know a filmic nuance if it stood infront of them dressed as Lindsay Lohan.

4) "Every bit his equal" Bond girls

Oh I hate them so much! My Other Half has a specially built soap box for me to use whenever I get on the subject!

[Zorin Industries]

Fans anywhere near me who are disingenuous enough to slate the film on first viewing and demand and assume everyone else will too then have the gall to do an about-turn on the second viewing.

I've gotta get me one of those

[Judo chop]

Craig starting to get bored with the role.

[BoogieBond]

M turning up everywhere

[Mister E]

M turning up everywhere

Yes I am getting pretty sick of that. Like I suggested in another thread, M should only have one conversation in person with Bond and any other conversations will be done with Bill Tanner. What is with this constant appearance of her all around the globe and Bond constantly reporting back to her ?

Its because she is a great actress and they like her chemistry with Craig. It won't be changing while Dench is in the role

I totally agree moving forward, but with QoS for once I was glad to see hearty amounts of M interaction. It made sense given the theme of the story to have more dialogue between the two, in the way that it made sense to have Q pop up in LTK when Bond went renegade.

(See how I went back to your LTK/QOS comparison there, Mister E? )

[Vanya86]

The main villain being shot in the head by someone other than Bond (two films in a row!)
Pandering to public ignorance and the lowest common denominator.
A script written with the aid of 'The Big Book of Bond Clichés”
An R&B theme song.

And when are the actresses going to stop saying 'She's not a typical Bond girl, she's every bit his equal'? We've had so many in recent years that that is the typical Bond girl now. Women can still be strong without kicking a single .

[Quantumofsolace007]

Why not

1. Cliches
2. Jazz bond themes
3. orginal titles (there is about 8 good fleming titles i fail to see why EON must create a new title)
4. Quantum's big boss (Quantum should be like striptease i don't want to see it all at once give a littel dance flirt around some of the issues for a while)
5. End of Quantum (on this board alone i've seen 3 amazing ideas for bond versus quantum that could fill up 3-4 films i myself have one or 2 ideas for quantum quantum should be for 5 films not 3)

that's all for now

Hey, you've got the same soapbox as me!

[Matt_13]

Jinx.

[Red Barchetta]

Just don't make it 'Bourne 23'.

A little less M

A few less henchmen

Bad theme song

Lack of backstory for the main villian

[Mister E]

I totally agree moving forward, but with QoS for once I was glad to see hearty amounts of M interaction.

In the case of QOS, I could see how there would be more interaction with M then usual, still a little heavy but more understandable. However, like CR for example when she went down to talk to do Bond, we really don't need that.

It made sense given the theme of the story to have more dialogue between the two, in the way that it made sense to have Q pop up in LTK when Bond went renegade.

(See how I went back to your LTK/QOS comparison there, Mister E? )

I am sorry but still feel Q should not have been in LTK at all. I thought it was out of character for him to help a rogue agent in person. What I would have found more plausiable is if Q sent the gadgets to Bond.

[Captain Tightpants]

The names RISICO or SHATTERHAND.

[tdalton]

• Q
• Moneypenny
• Themes of Revenge/Betrayal
• "Shaken, not Stirred"

[Matt_13]

Bond going rogue.

[tdalton]

Bond going rogue.

Agreed. We need a Bond film that does not feature Bond going rogue or being betrayed or set up by anyone within MI6.

[Quantumofsolace007]

The names RISICO or SHATTERHAND.

this begs the question Captain What title do you want for bond 23?
