It was released yesterday, has anyone got around to see it yet?
 
Well i'm going to see it tomorrow so i'll let you guys know then.
 
My mate saw it today and said it was dull as ditchwater. But then he didn't really like Casino Royale either.

I'm going to see it on Monday. Huzzah!
 
I can't wait to see this. Casino Royale was excellent. Isn't another Watchmen trailer supposed to be attached to this?
 
Saw it last night. It's not as good as Casino Royale which I really enjoyed. This one lacked a real opening, middle and conclusion. It was all just...stuff which happened. I did enjoy it though, some great locations and special effects. Bond isn't so much a agent in this but moreso an assassin. He kills a couple people in this one pretty gruesomely and heartlessly, which is kind of the point. "Revenge kills" for Vesper.

Storyline was OK, and the main bad guy wasn't really that evil, mainly because he had no generic disability. A good bond film, easy viewing and lots of action.
 
I really thought it was quite bad. It's more of a second part of Casino Royale. You must really remember the previous story and characters from CR.

There is no story really, they only pronounce once " quantum" in the whole film, hell, they don't even explain what it is.

There was to much action as well, some fights were nice some were stupid specially the plane one. The talk for five minutes and then they hace 10 minutes action scenes wich are really pointless.

For me it didn't really feel like a James Bond movie, more of a Bourne flick. You only see the aston martin once, no gadgets, no real evil corporation etc etc.
 
Completely forgot about it.
I'll probably wait for it to come to DVD.
 
I really enjoyed it but it does feel like unlike casino royale there is not as much emotion or as much depth to the story and characters, it feels like a lot of skirmishes put together. CR showed the emotional development of bond and his involvement in something bigger we didn't know about. Now bond just seems to have stopped one of their schemes no big loss to them really.

Although I really liked the ending and damn
mr white got away again *shakes fist*

Still really enjoyable and good action.

PS: the theme song sucks this time round.
 
BTW, does anyone know why the release dates are so weird? OK, I understand UK getting it first but I LOLed when I saw that countries such as Honduras, Ecuador, Guatemala, Nicaragua get it before North Americans :laugh: WTF?
 
Poor film. Casino Royale was passable but Quantum really tanked. No real plot, no real direction, no real investment in the characters - it was pure dull viewing.
 
I heard the theme tune a few weeks ago and couldnt help but laugh at its pure shitness. Its not a bond tune, what kind of bond tune has the ***k-tard from white stripes in it? Bhaha.

Anyway, gonna go see this in a few hours, hope it lives upto the hype.
 
Wow. My excitement level has dropped considerably. I will still see it in theaters as that is where it is best seen, but this makes it a little less inviting.
 
I have to agree on the song, it sounds like an xfactor audition that didnt quite make it.
 
My family has a tradition of going to the movies (usually to see an actiony movie) on thanksgiving. I don't really see any other options but this, this year.
 
My friend said he'd rather watch Die another Day 3 times over than watch this "crap" again.

Didn't think it'd be that bad; haven't watched it myself.
 
I thought some review sites were giving it really good reviews?
 
What the **** guys, I wanted you to say that the film is awesome >_<.

Well, Samon called Casino Royale "passable", while I really enjoyed it, so maybe I'll still enjoy the new one, only a bit less :p
 
I haven't seen it yet but it's a shame that it doesn't live up to or surpass Casino Royal. I was really hoping we were entering a new golden age for Bond films, still can be I suppose providing the next up picks up the slack.
 
Mediocre. The director was absent, and the plot was messy. It wasn't Bond. Good CGI, but that can be said for any movie these days.

What have you been smoking? Jack White is one of the few geniuses left in the industry.
 
Song does suck a bit. But then, the only Bond song I care for is Tina Turner's Goldeneye. In fact, that's the only Bond movie I cared for :p

This tbh.

edit: Well actually I also cared for the Dalton movies.
 
More of a buildup for the next one?
Thats what i believe, giving away all of Quantum's organisation members and all
 
all of yall go to hell. This film is excellent. Everyone else who agrees with me, dont let others get you down. We all know Bond has turned into a more assassin like approach, but com'n....
