Fari, you're wrong. All of the action scenes were cut together terribly (and they never ended) and Miss Fields was just tacked on so the villains could murder a woman. Because you know they're baddies if they can murder a woman for no reason.
And seriously the master plot was water? Water? Fucking water?

Fuck that movie.
60% of Bolivias underground water.
Big fuckin' whoop. Shittiest part of the whole film.
The first half of Kung Fu Hustle is way better than the second half.
That entire movie is solid gold. Well, the end boss fight does dip into silver at parts, but what I am trying to say here is YOU ARE WRONG.
The first half is great and the second half is good. That whole middle part with the harp players and the Beast just goes on too long and doesn't really have a point. But, when what's his face fights the Beast at the end, that was pretty cool.

listen
i watch bond for hot ladies, punching, and cars
yeah, Casino Royale tried to mix it up, but that doesn't erase the loooooong history of bond being very silly at times
wasn't it more like. Elevator two-punches-and-some-noise-and-suddenly-no-one-is-left?
I hate those kind of action scenes. That whole rapid-cut shaky-cam super close up shit where you can't really make out any real detail as to what the fuck is gong on, there's just a mess of movement and sound.

So, basically, you rational for Quantom not sucking is that Bond has a precident of sucking before?

different from what you want it to be is not equivalent to sucking.

Fari, Quantum of Solace really lacked any strong anything.
What they did was always pretty cool, but half the time I couldn't figure out what the point of any of it was, they story just kind of trailed off and to be honest if you guys hadn't specifically mentioned stealing the water I honestly would have forgotten it.
I enjoyed Quantum of Solace. Not as much as Casino Royale, but still.
Hated the car chase though.
What's wrong with the water plotline? It's pretty essential for, you know, human survival. I can see why someone would want to control a large portion of it in an underprivileged country.

Quantum was Bond by Numbers. Even though Moore's movies kind of sucked, at least they had a flair to them. Quantum was a Bond movie on autopilot, it took all these elements that didn't make any sense and through them all together and then they ignored what made Casino Royale so good in the first place. It was terrible, but it was okay and when you're dealing with one of the biggest franchises on Earth with one of the better actors alive and they just wrapped one of the best Bone movies ever, I expect it to be more than "alright."
And, again, they got the Diving Bell and the Butterfly guy to be your main villain? You've got Goldfinger, Janus, Le Chiffre, Scaramanga and. . . the French business man that wants to take your water rights away?

Penguin is also right in this case.
I have a Bond theory.
The longer an actor stays as James Bond the worse the movies get, people rag on Roger Moore for doing silly shit but Connery had a helicopter suitcase.
Look at how awesome Goldeneye was compared to Die Another Day.
The studios think that all people want to watch are big explosions so the longer that individual franchise goes on the more they stick in and the more ridiculous it gets.

1. it's bolivia's water. isn't this issue something that could be handled by the bolivian police? or the bolivian secret service?
2. it's not even all of bolivia's water, it's just the majority of it. it will raise prices for the poor people that bond and olga saw coming back from the cave in all their mud huts. a tragedy normally, but this is a secret agent film! some of bolivia's water getting privatised is not threatening to james bond in the least.

wow you missed the entire point of the movie didn't you
Stealing water is a stupid fucking master plan. I don't care what the real world applications of that are, if you're a super villain and the best thing you can come up with is stealing poor people's water, you suck as a super villain.

I thought the first car chase was one of the worst parts of the film...
footchase - awesome
miss fields - hubba
elevator fight
man that was a good movie
agreed!
but i can't call it a bad movie

An ineffable tragedy of the human spirit that still resonates, even today.

I've got one word for you -
Ronin.
THAT is how you do a car chase...
