Best things I like about the Bond Movies are the gadgets. And especially the car. In fact the reason I watch Bond movies is to see them. But I like Pierce Brosnan's acting better than any others. His last Bond movie (Die Another Day) wasn't very good though.

He is best, he is back -- HE IS BOND



just watched it yesterday at fame. Not as good as Casino Royale, but still gr8.
The only problem with this one is weaker script.
Since the fall of mother Russia and subsequently KGB ( read S.P.E.C.T.R.E. ) , bond producers were looking for a new evil organisation. Their main objective in this film was to introduce "QUANTUM". With that achieved, I hope to see new super-villain spies in the next BOND films.

P.S. Did any of u guys catch the opening car chase sequence ??? BOND rocks.

what a bummer.............

nobody else seen it yet ?????????????

hey, wait a minute............
"Casino Royale" was probably the second-best bond film ever made. All thanks go to the director and actors who made the most-boring bond story into an amazimg movie.
ofcourse "Quantum..." was a bad film.
But I believe it served a purpose, it concluded the previous story, elaborated on Bond's new avtar and.......

Then again, I m appreciating this apparently hidden facts only because I m the biggest bond fan. So I guess to others this one is just a horrible movie.
and I can understand that.

correct ..... i look for a good storyline in a movie .......
Like i have said a 1000 times before if the story isnt believable or realistic IMO no actor/stunt can make it interesting for me [unless its an animation movie that is] .....

I am really impartial towards actors,directors or the name of the film ....

the film didnt really have any plot. it seemed to me that the only reason behind makin the movie was they were forced to make a bond movie tht left them wid no time to think of a story. hmm. disappoinment.

Yes. A very weak plot. It appears more like typical Bollywood flick where they develop the plot as the shooting progresses.

There was a lot of (impressive) action but all that was not necessary.

I've never liked Bond Movies.
Adventure movies don't attract me...they seem too unrealistic.
On the same lines, Indiana Jones 4 was a disaster.
