    I don't understand why people really enjoyed QoS. I am a huge, huge bond fan, but I could easily see how it's one of the worst bond films of them all. There's so much in that film what made me hate it, from the poor directing, camera work, to disjointed scenes. I understand writing strike effected this movie, but it was so forgettable. The villian was the worst uninspiring villian in the entire franchise. So dull and forgettable. Even agent fields dead on the bed copied the scene form goldfinger. So unoriginal and rushed. Am I missing something here ? Q0S and die another day are the weakest two for me.

    The order of Daniel Craig films I personally find the best in order.

    Casino Royale - Still the best,
    Skyfall Comes close.
    Spectre - loved this as a guilty pleasure bond film. Feels like a bond film the most.
    QOS - forgettable in nearly every scene, apart from a few key scenes.

    Quantum of solace has one of the greatest car chases of all time.

    The opera sequence was fantastic.

    I loved that one scene where his credit card gets declined he says “Tell them I am going to Egypt.”


    Elevator scene where he takes out 5-6 agents like it’s nothing? I have never seen Bond ever do that in a film.

    The film has an exotic/different soundtrack also.

    I just think in general the movie is super unique it has its own style and it’s a fun movie.

    I have a hard time watching Skyfall 2-3 times a year but Qos I can watch every two months throughout the year.





    That's interesting. I just did not like the unique style it had. I found it not enjoyable due tothe poor camera work. That car chase was not thrilling due to the camera work for me, personally. I found the Spectre car chase better, as it was more unique and bondy. If you dont have a memorable or decent villian, then I dont think a bond film can be good. The villian has to be as good as 007, so they say, and that's not what Qos had. If I had to choose any memorable scenes from QoS, the only one that stands out to me is the flight scene. When I think of QoQ, I just remember the desert. I did like that aspect of it. I hated the sound track, was appalling if you ask me and felt rushed like the movie. Im glad you and others enjoyed it though, but it's certainly the weakest in Daniel Craig's series personally. But the thing is, if a film has moments I hate, then it can spoil the entire film for me. QoS had too many of them moments that made me dislike it. A few good scenes cannot save it, even Daniel himself admits there was trouble with the film in various interviews. He had to try write some of the film, and he joked about him not been a writer but had no choice. Spectre so much more enjoyable. It had a memorable opening sequence which just feels very bondy. QOS opening was just a generic car chase. Nothing stood out to make it feel like a bond film. Thats what makes bond films special in action. They do something interesting, like the helicopter doing barrel rolls in Spectre, for example. You get my point. And click ha.

    Well he shot Mr. White and was taking him to be interrogated, on the way he gets ambushed by Spectre...

    Camera work was intentional. Some of the action films that came out around that time used the same fast cuts.. Batman begins and I believe a Bourne film??

    Shaky cam was the cool thing to do.

    I actually really hated the use of it for the sienna scene. Car chase I liked the fast cuts it felt like I was there, it’s so loud, the Aston’s engine roaring is fantastic.



    Don't get me wrong, it had that powerful feel of aston and that, but I agree with you on the chase sequence. That camera work was horrible. There was no need to continue that constant cut of scenes and shakiness on the foot chase. Thats been a complaint by many people so look how skyfall fixed it and it was spot on. Even spectre. My favourite two from Daniel are casino royale and spectre, then skyfall . Loved Spectre as a guilty pleasure due to gun barrel returning, the opening sequence, and the sound track. I loved that opening day of the dead sequence and sound was spot on. Thats going to take some beating for me.

    Same here, both CR and SPECTRE are fantastic Bond films to me, and the latter is miles better than QOS and Skyfall to me. At least, it feels much more Bondian.

    Quick update of leaked info

    So what we know so far...

    Rami Malek 95% chance he’s the villain or in the film.

    Madeline probably dies.

    CIA is involved in this movie, they have a male and a female agent.

    There was a casting call for “two Bond girls”, plus we have Madeline so that’s three Bond girls?

    I would say there’s also a really good chance that the male CIA agent is working with the villain he’s a mole.

    Italy will be the Pre-Title sequence.

    Norway is the scene after the Pre-titles, they are planning on blowing up a building that’s a cottage. (Madeline and Bond get ambushed, Madeline dies, Bond escapes).

    Alleged title is “Eclipse”

    Absolutely! QoS was more aggressive yes, but a bond film should have memorable car chases and Spctre was far more creative than the QoS chase. It had gadgets it felt more bondian. So if it's more bondian then to me it's a better car chase. QoS felt far more generic

    I have a theory based in no actual information. I think the press conference has been delayed as they attempt to work out scheduling for Lupita Nyong'o. I know her representatives said no a while ago however we have seen EON circumvent similar challenges in the past.

    Skyfalls editing was absolutely amazing, perfect flow but it just felt off. Not sure what it is but it doesn’t feel like a Bond film. Fantastic movie but I enjoyed Spectre more.

    Yeah spectre has some issues but it really did feel like a Bond film for me.

    Especially Bonds escape from the lair!

    Production Weekly are now listing Eclipse as the 'working title' for Bond 25
    https://www.productionweekly.com/production-weekly-issue-1136-thursday-march-21-2019-155-listings-34-pages/

    I suspect that it isn't the title of the film and will be only be used to point the crew where to park, etc.

    If you live in a city like London, you often see yellow tags and signs across the city with obscure codes which are often indications that a film/tv show is being made nearby.

    I work around Temple and they're always around the barrister chambers nearby, which are very photogenic.

    Interesting. So there's still a chance for a more creative and Bondian title! At least.

    1. Casino Royale/SPECTRE (can't really decide, CR has the best story but SP is more "Bondian" as a film).

    2. QOS/Skyfall (can't decide either. QOS' story is more solid compared to the SF soap opera, but again, in SF we went back to the classic Bond a little bit, so...)

    So Eclipse is nothing more than the working title and mi6-hq is just as clueless as we are. ( I’m referring to their tweet with the photo of an eclipse)

    Of course that is possible - and I did think of that, but in all this news and rumours, was there ever mention of a female role being CIA?
