So I clicked on this thread hoping to read more replies to what people consider to be a disappointing Bond film and lo and behold...I came smack into another QoS debate thread.

Way to ruin it for the rest of us guys.

But perhaps that's only because QUANTUM OF SOLACE was the most disappointing Bond film for many people here (myself included).

[Trident]

It's also the most recent Bond film. People are far more likely to remember that disappointment than, say, the one of Moonraker.

[darthbond]

I agree with Trident.

True, I'm not debating that people can't be disappointed by it. But then there are several threads (and a whole forum) where they can voice their disappointment on the film. It shouldn't take up other threads. In other forums.

You are right, there are many threads with heated discussions about Quantum of Solace. However, as the title of this tread is "Most Disappointing Bond Film", people are listing QoS, and many other films are well. Perhaps you should suggest that both supporters and detractors of QoS mose the further discussion elsewhere.

Me too. The action is terrific, but it was too quick.

Tomorrow Never Dies . . . with Diamonds Are Forever a close second.

Although I've got Diamonds are Forever at the top of my list, I agree that Tomorrow Never Dies is right up there near the top as well. If there was ever a "checklist" Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies would be it. It's a shame, too, since the premise of the film holds so much potential.

Well, with this thread I suppose it doesn't mean for us to simply pick the worst entry so I'll go with DAF.

After the ending in OHMSS, DAF could have been a great follow-up.

I guess I'll also throw in that it was dissapointing that Lazenby didn't reprise the role. Connery was starting to age noticeably here. Lazenby was wonderful in OHMSS and probably would have handled a revenge plot a whole lot better than Connery and comnpany did.
