007 - Quantum of Solace

[RC45]

Why does a decades old character and storyline still need character development? Shouldnt the character in the movie just be like an old friend and you sit down to enjoy a 100 minute thrill a minute movie?

I have not enjoyed any of the modern era Bond films - hopefully this one will be worth while as a Netflix in a couple months.

I think that's what the DVD sets of the old movies are for. I've really liked the last two bond movies much more than any of the Brosnan films (even Golden Eye). I'd like to pretend the Timothy Dalton ones didn't happen.

I like the pierce brosnan movies more.

Did you like Pierce Brosnen driving his Aston Martin through the "ice hotel"?

Golden Eye was good. It was a new beginning, and got away from the sillyness of the Timothy Dalton movies, for example, remember Wayne Newton as the bad guy.

My favorite laughable scene is still Rodger Moore taking a bath and shaving He was seated with a cute little tray across the tub. From there he dispatched a dangerous snake with flaming spray aftershave.

No thanks, I'll take the new movies.
