    I just got back from seeing the new Bond film.

    Fun times all around, but I think the first one had better fight scenes.

    But the car chase at the start was all win!
    I really liked it, thought it tied up all the loose ends of casino royale (with cheese) quite nicely.........except for that fucking awful Jack White/Alicia Keys song at the start...worst bond song ever, sounded like cats fucking on a hot tin roof.

    That's because the second unit director from the Bourne series did the second unit work on Quantum of Solace. It's the reason the camera is so infuriatingly shaky and why the parallels to the Bourne series are drawn in the first place.

    The Bourne movies are so good. They're easily amongst the top ten of my most favourite action thriller spy Jason Bourne-related movies starring that Matt Damon guy. Easily.

    If you ask me a bit of bourne injected into an almost comically rediculous bond (Brosnon & Moore) can only be a good thing. More to the point Daniel Craig is a fucking good actor, which they haven't really had since Sean Connery.

    Brosnan was damn good- I don't care what anyone says. He looked the part and did the balance of suave and action right.

    I'm not going to tear him down just for Die Another Day.

    Hmmmm... Brosnan may have been a good Bond, but the writers didn't do him Justice. (Golden Eye was ok) Daniel Craige is the best, for seriousness. But i still love a good old Roger Moore Bond film.

    Yeah, basically. I think there was a car chase in the beginning of that film, but I can't be too sure. For the fight scenes it's worse because it's sad to think a choreographer put time and effort into a good fight scene only to have it pissed down the film's leg with Bourne-style editing.

    Brosnan was passable (nowhere near Craig's level though) and GoldenEye was a good flick, but yeah, the writing and directing was shit on a stick from then on. It's like they tried to give everyone what they wanted without stopping to think if the film was any good, which most of the time it wasn't. Still when you think about it, every bond (bar lazenby obviously) has ended their bond career on a pretty sour film.

    Honestly my favorite fight for both of those movies would be the bathroom brawl in the very beginning of the first one. The struggle between those two was intense, it was like you were really there.

    It's like they spent $300,000,000 on what? They could have pulled that shakey cam nonsense on probably a tenth the budget and nobody would notice because you can't tell what is going on.

    Where did all the shakey cam business start? It must have been before the Bourne movies... I seem to remember it in that Jamie Foxx/Tom Cruise flick.

    I want to say something around Saving Private Ryan but I am nowhere near a film buff and am probably way off base and SPR is not horrible in any way cinematography wise (cinematographically?).

    I tend to be pretty forgiving of Bond theme songs because they remind me of Bond movies. Both "You Know My Name" and "Another Way to Die" have grown on me.

    I definitely preferred Casino Royale but wasn't disappointed by Quantum of Solace either. It felt more like a "bridge" movie but I'm okay with that. I watched Casino Royale again this weekend and realized that, for the most part, I'm waiting for the action scenes to be over so that it can get back to Bond being smooth. I hope the next movie gets some of that slower pacing back. Trying to one-up the action sequences is what made the Brosnan movies go from fun to ridiculous.

    The only problem I had with Casino Royale was all the romantic shit thrown in at the end. Yes I know he loved her, but that whole segment felt like it went on forever, enough for me to think "ALRIGHT WE GET IT MOVE IT ALONG ALREADY!"

    And then it went to another chase scene and all was right with the world.

    Sadly, another reason QoS was so reliant on action scene pacing is because of the confounded writer's strike. The script was finished two days before the strike, so they didn't really get the opportunity to go back and finesse the script to add the level of polish and filigree Casino Royale had.

    And for what it's worth, I love "You Know My Name", but then, I'm a pretty big Chris Cornell fan to begin with.
