Eh, I thought the story was kinda all over the place too.
i thought this worked in the batman films because there you see fights between very distinguishable comic book characters. in quantum when there are fights between two dudes wearing suits it's very tough to tell who is who.Quote:

just got back from seeing this. i enjoyed it. i thought the action was really cool and i like daniel craig's performance. while it didn't have any one-liners, i thought the movie had some humorous moments. i particularly like m's rant at the beginning about mr. white's statement that "we have people everywhere."
i re-watched Casino Royale last night, and i'm glad i did. i had forgotten a lot more of it than i realized (damn that movie's long). since Quantum of Solace starts where CR left off, it helped a lot have a fresh memory of everything that happened. i'm sure i would've been confused through much of the movie otherwise.
at the end of Quantum, i didn't really feel like everything had been resolved. the movie started out with bond going after mr. white, but then mr. white gets away and we never hear anything more about him. the plot goes in a different direction and when it finally starts to circle back around, we don't get to see bond interrogate greene or vesper's 'boyfriend.' it leaves the story feeling unfinished, but i guess all that leads into the next movie.
I was supposed to see this movie tonight but my friend's girlfriend is the biggest flake on earth.
The movie felt unfinished IMO. Disappointing.
I need to see this movie, but I really see absolutely no chance of me liking it. I still don't see Daniel Craig as Bond. And would I be wrong in saying this move can't stand up on it's own and needs Casino Royal? I'm a firm believer that every Bond movie should stand up on it's own merits. Meh, I guess my thoughts would be moot, as I'm all for 60's Bond or GTFO.
