i think your picking at it for all the wrong reasons,

the camera shakes, i def doubt that he thought.... "hmm steven spieldberg did it..
so that would be perfect in my movie!" camera shake has been around before
saving private ryan

a director doesnt go in to his movie thinking about what other movies have done, he
tries to just put his vision into it. Saying that he bit off other people is a bit harsh,

i dont see how you dont like the movie cause really its just an extension of casino
royale... i dont consider it its own movie, its just an extended piece really... cause
thats where the movie takens off, it has enough action beats every like 20 minutes
or so and enough story line cuts inbetween the action... its a rollercoaster itll take
you for a insane action piece...then slow it down and explain stuff..

i dont see whats not to like

Usually I'd try to defend a film against rants, but when the rant is directed towards an integral aspect of the film (in this case, the action), I have nothing to do but agree. The shaky cam and split-second cuts were truly difficult to keep up with, and this is a guy who generally tolerates the school of Paul Greengrass type of direction.

I did enjoy the rest of the film, though there was a sequence midway through (involving a a jet and a parachute) that shattered everything I thought I knew about gravity and momentum.

I totally agree with you, this movie was just terrible. The action scenes were just so fast you never knew what the hell was going on and that bothered me the whole film. A huge huge disappointment especially after Casino Royale, which I think is one of the best bond films of all time.

Poor fanboy, somebody broke is movie.

The action wasn't bad in this movie, I don't care what anyone says. It's less jumpy than Batman(Nolan) and along the lines of Bourne, both series are great. It's different direction than what Casino Royale took and that's what's really eating you. The only scene I knocked was the airplane chase, other than that everything was rather innovative. I'm already sick of hearing people come forward of with the complaint of "Bond has lost his charm." Douche, he was a revenge ridden mad man with the intent on bringing down the group responsible for pseudo-murdering his love. This Bond only used his charm to get what he wanted this time around, not flourishing it for his personal benefit. Now that Bond has got his fill of revenge, I'm sure we'll see a James who isn't looking for love, and ends up breaking as many hearts as he sees fit. This movie had to happen for Bond to mold into what he will become.

I liked Qauntum. I didn't feel that the action scenes were horribly made. But I can agree that the Bond movies are taking to much from the Bourne movies. I think the new Bond films should stick to the formula from originals and Casino Royale and not go to far out from that. That formula obviously works; it has for nearly fifty years. We're not watching a Bourne movie, we are watching a Bond film. And it should be a Bond film.

I think a few of you are overreacting, to say the least. Was it a good Bond film? No. I
wouldn't call it terrible. The hand to hand fight scenes were cool, except for all the cuts.
What really bored me was the car, boat and plane chase scenes, not only have I seen them
1000 times, but better than this.

I know why you dislike it. Because you a James Bond superfan going on 22 years. This isn't Bond for Bond fans this is Bond for Casino Royale fans.

I suppose that someone suffering from ADD or ADHD had no problem following the action sequences - but I couldn't tell WTF was going on and that bothered the hell out of me as well.

David, I LOVED Casino Royale, and consider it one of the best Bond films of all time.

Q of S is the second half of CR. You can not look at Qof S as a seperate piece. I'll admit they are really stretching the "Jason Bourne" in terms of action. But remember Bond gave up MI6 to be with the woman he loved only to lose her. I say you better open up a can of whip a** to send a message. This is a Bond who plays by his on rules. That to me makes him the Best Bond so far.

While we love Jason because he's a hometown kid who wanted to gave his life for love of country. And we know how fickle the goverment can be. Jason stricks back out of defense. American's go ga-ga over that type of veteren. You can't compare the two franchises. As long as the two films keep up the formula, deliver on action and plot, they've got my $20 bucks!

The movie has action but as this article states it has no direction. It's like a train wreck with 100 boxcars of the same type. You see the same wreck over and over 100 times and after the tenth one it starts to get boring. I know Bond just lost the love of his life but the sex appeal is also below Bond movie standards. But I still say Daniel Craig is the 2nd best Bond after Sean Connery.

@ Misterhand

Whats the anger at Quantum then? I don't mean to attack by the way I enjoy differing opinions I just can't fathom someone who likes Royale not at the LEAST enjoying Quantum.

D Train · 1 year ago

I can't fathom that you claim to enjoy The World is Not Enough or Die Another Day. Just don't make sense...
