    No, but there are ways to do it that don't involve lying to every major intelligence gathering agency in the free world.

    EDIT: Casino Royale's plot gets a pass from me, because James Bond playing poker.

    Also, meetings in an opera house?

    One, how would you reliably communicate, despite the person singing over an entire theater's audio system?

    Second, that is really rude, shut up, these people are working really hard to put on a good show for you.

    or wait, not funny. The other thing.

    Oh yeah: hypocritical. That's it.

    You'll note the real plot had GREATER markup.

    Yes, Quantum, with their moles everywhere, near total control of the intelligence industry, and massive, massive resources...

    Did less impressive fiendish plotting than real corporations.

    That's just pitiful.

    Also, what the hell level of power did Quantum have? It varied from minute to minute. One scene they're limited, next they're standard super-villain, after that, they own everything not named James Bond. Gah.

    I liked quantum of solace and a more subdued plot for the ring of villains. It was nice to have another Bond movie where it wasn't some crazy world ending plot, it was just a bunch of asses being international criminal asses.

    And in any case, the entire point of the movie wasn't about what they were trying to accomplish, it was about James Bond getting revenge in any way he could, in the relentless, dogged manner that Craig portrays.

    The hate for Quantum and the Brosnan movies (except for DAD, because fuck that movie) is very disappointing. I'll admit that probably the only reason I really like Tomorrow Never Dies is because it was my first Bond movie. The World is not Enough on the other hand was legitimately a good movie despite Denise Richards best efforts.

    I remember in a Brosnan movie(DAD maybe) there was a scene where Bond flies to London

    nothing exciting happening just him on a plane, sipping a martini

    so of course blaring in the background is

    LONDON CAAAAAAAAAAAALLING TO A FARAWAY TOWN

    Aright just finished Solace up. Yeah I see what Vann Diras was saying about how it will most likely feel more appropriate in a finished trilogy. Still I didn't find it to be too bad a movie experience overall, maybe a bit lacking as a Bond film specifically.

    Agreed.

    It's about nuclear war.

    And not in a peppy fifties way.

    Why would anyone hearing it think "Yes! This is good for a happy plane ride"?

    It's for dying and killing in back alleys.
