The main problem with this movie for me was that the stuff about Mr White and the other ringleaders of his organization felt like the real story and everything else was like an extended sub-plot. I would have been much more interested in seeing the former than the latter. Oh, and they killed Mathis. The bastards.
I love the video ... but the song sucks ass... does not fit here at all! sucks ass I say! those that hate the song like I do watch it on mute or better yet somebody should use one of the other bond themes and dub it over another way to die.
I think the biggest problem with this movie is that its not a movie that stands on its own. Its continues right after Casino Royale ends and continues its story without a real ending since its a trilogy. This movie is in the middle of the story so it feels like its...just there. After all 3 movies are out you gotta watch them all in one sitting cause its like a long 6 hours movie broken up into 3 parts
The first time I say this movie, I was really disappointed. I saw it again on DVD and it's really not that bad. I just wish it had been a longer to let the plotline breathe.
Man oh man. This really could have been so badass/a great theme. But in all honesty, did no one realize that Jack and Alicia were horribly off-key when they sing the chorus?! I mean, c'mon. That was my very first reaction to hearing this, was "Hey, this is pretty cool. Nicely done, I like wh-HOLY SHIT!!!! That's just AWFUL!!!"
I'm convinced that if someone else had done the vocals on this song, it would have been pretty sweet. As it is, it's one of the worst
Ok...so this wasn't a bad theme...but to be honest this one, along with Casino Royale's "you know my name" were both pretty weak compared to all the previous Bond theme tunes...maybe it's because modern music today is dead and plain shit. It needs revitalising big time... I mean look at the bond theme tunes of the 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's...why were those theme's all great ? Because that's when music was music and was alive pure and simple. Shame really.
@QTwackoJ mainstream music is dead. big time. people like taylor swift, katy perry, justin bieber. but if you listen to indie/alternative rock; i.e. radiohead, the white stripes, arcade fire, youll see that music is alive and well
@QTwackoJ i like the song, but not the theme, cashino royale has 9.9/10 because of its poker theme, its bad ass....but in quantum of solace was only desert and i was like WTH!!!
@catman957 Have no fear -- The Bond franchise is alive and well. It's been officially announced that 'Bond 23' will go ahead with Sam Mendes attached as director and Daniel Craig to continue his magnificent take on Bond.
I loved the start of this film then about half way i wasnt likeing it as much but then the last scene full on gave me that feeling that this was worth it
Sorry for the comment spam, but I forgot to mention how badass these opening credits are. Almost as good as the Casino Royale credits. The song is also perfect for a James Bond film, if you ask me. When I first saw the movie, I found the singing kind of grating, but listening to it now it really is a great song.
You know what I hate? Stupid motherfuckers that say Quantum of Solace was shit. It wasn't as good as Casino Royale, obviously, but anyone who says the movie is garbage should probably be shot. At the very least, don't let them review movies. I mean, I can get along with people who say they weren't quite impressed with the film, but people who hop on the bandwagon of hate and ignorance just piss me off. Very competent film, can't wait for Daniel Craig's next performance.
To follow up on my rant, The Sunday Times had this to say: "In place of glamour, we get a spurious grit; instead of style, we get product placement; in place of fantasy, we get a redundant and silly realism."
Fuck the guy whoever said that. Do you people honestly want to go back to Sean Connery driving an invisible fucking car? And here you are calling the realism in QoS "silly?" FUCK that. As far as I'm concerned, Bond is perfect as the badass rogue MI6 agent he is and should be.
I had huge issues with QoS still, though. I love the rusty, rough, rookie Bond, but QoS had too much of a loose plot for me. Casino Royale worked well because it focused on developing the characters while focusing on a central plot line, whereas QoS tried to cram multiple loaded different plots into a single movie, and did less character development than it did "tying up loose ends".
Another good thing made great cause Jack White was involved.
