Well low expectations=happily surprised at how much we enjoyed this one. Rage James was hot ;) So much action but the sequences weren't too long, a villain with a punchable face and M being the best mum ever, what else could we need?!  Sorry I asked so many questions in this haha

[Full Reaction] Quantum of Solace (2008)

Overall, this movie seemed to work surprisingly well, though I can understand the complaints. The pacing worked not too bad, but there don't seem to be that many memorable moments, and the action sequences are definitely shaky and overcut. Just shows that writers aren't only there to provide dialogue--the shape and feeling of the story are in their purview, as well. Stupid of the studios not to negotiate with the WGA, knowing how TV and movies suffer without writers!

I don't care if anyone thinks differently: Quantum of Solace is either the second or third best Daniel Craig Bond. No Time to Die is by far the worst.

I don’t get all the hate for shaky cam. If shaky cam is that hated why do so many love the Bourne trilogy? It’s not my favorite way of shooting action but I don’t need to see everything to get the gist of what the action is trying to say. But I never feel lost and it is exciting.

Andy Bodkin

you two switching spots totally confused me haha

While Sean Connery will always be my favorite Bond.. I think there's something to be said for Daniel Craig playing the best/most believable and relatable version of James Bond.

Like any other kind of filmmaking/storytelling technique, it can be effective in the hands of those who know how to use it (such as Paul Greengrass who did the Bourne movies) or it can be a crutch for lazy filmmakers to hide their incompetence in staging, shooting abd cutting decent action sequences. Sometimes it is the former, but mostly it's the latter (particularly the more prevalent it became). There's an excellent video essay called "Chaos Cinema" that really examines the whole "shaky-cam/quick-cutting" phenomenon and what it both contributed to and took away from the action genre.

I think the word you were looking for instead of "cartoonish" might be "cheeky".

I actually never really liked this one, but watching it again with you guys, I really loved it! Maybe I just payed more attention this time? I always thought this one was boring before.

Can’t wait until you get to Skyfall! That’s probably my favorite Daniel Craig one, just an absolute banger all around!

Late to the party but this is one of the movies that kind of defines Craig's tenure as Bond, in the sense that his movies are best when viewed as a whole instead of as individual stories. This one was received very well, but ended up playing a pretty important narrative role in both the overall setup of the criminal syndicate he's been chasing, as well as a big step for Bond's character growth.
