QoS grows on you. Ive grown to like it alot more since i watched it on DVD.

Its obvious they were going for the Bourne flick feel, but they did a good job of modernizing the Bond formula which had grown stale.

Quantum of Solace would have been fine were it not for the endless twitchy jerky camera work. It was like the director and editor sprinkled coke on their cereal in the morning. Jesus. That opening sequence was ridiculous.

heh, they hired several of the Bourne flicks crew, so thats the feel they wanted.

QoS is solid.

1. It continued and finished the Casino Royale Storyline.

2. Its relentless. 1 hour 45 minutes of lean and mean

3. Craig OWNS the Bond role now. OWNS it. Dench OWNS M as well. Their relationship is great to.

Bourne didn't annoy the same way QoS did. Bourne's a little twitchy. QoS was an epileptic seizure.

I found it annoying as well. The shaky camera combined with constant jump cuts were just a little too much.

Still enjoyed the hell out of it for pretty much the same reasons stated by Deberg above.

Agreed. I liked it, but I have no desire to ever watch it again. Obviously I won't be buying or even renting it.

Whereas I bought Casino Royale the day it came out.

I watched the Bourne Supremacy in the theater the day after I had my wisdom teeth removed. I just had to shut my eyes and lie my head back during the climactic chase scene.

I've hated Paul Greenglass ever since.


On a side note, I'm currently ripping/burning a copy of La Jetee and Sans Soleil. La Jetee is next level avant garde, it was basically the template for 12 Monkeys.

I didn't realize they were directed by the same person.

I do remember watching Bourne III thinking "****, I've already seen this movie twice." And I didn't like it as well as the first two, but I couldn't quite put my finger on the reason why. I guess now I know.

I didn't notice it, but after yuou make the comparison to the Bourne movies I can see it. I don't mind it too much.

watched the sequel to Waiting, titles Still Waiting. If you ever waited tables, you will find the humor in it and get a good laugh out of it.

I'm assuming this movie has been mentioned because I did a search and this thread came up but I'm not going through 60 pages to find it,so if you've seen The Flock with Richard Gere and posted about it I'd like to read what you put.

As for me,I decided to get on and post now just after viewing as I haven't been quite that shaken in the last 15 minutes of a movie since Seven.I'll add the trailer below if anyone's interested.Dark focking movie,this one will be staying with me for awhile.

The Flock I saw about two weeks ago, reminded me of a poor immitation of "Se7en", which is one of my favorite movies. I gave it 4 stars.

I rented that one time, but never got around to watching it. I didn't think I missed out on much. There's no way it was going to be half as good as the first one.


I watched Seven Pounds last night. Not what I thought it was going to be. More of a chick flick than anything. Ending was pretty cool though.

Well, you are a chick, right?
