  • doubleoego wrote: I take your referring to that God-Awful Macau fight scene. Which was completely redundant in that part of the story and packed no intensity whatsoever, to see Bond raise his fists in that awkward manner was insulting to the actio…

  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: There is no point in action if you can't bloody see what is going on either, something Bourne isn't the best at. That's a matter of perspective .literally :P I can understand everything perfectly fine in QoS a…
  • 0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 wrote: I love the Bourne fight scenes, but the editing is sub par, and a lot of the shots go too far out of frame. This scene (and many other fighting pieces in the same series) are like QoS's worst shaky cam moments mixed …
  • Baltimore_007 wrote: The Craig fight scenes in Skyfall were largely disappointing. Fights with CGI komodo dragons and Jellyfish ? I think I spent more time smirking than being entertained. Maybe it was a bit of the two. If you look at his pre…

  • doubleoego wrote: Not too sure but I think it would be pretty sad for the film makers to half arse the action just because they may feel they have no "worthy" competition. Yeah, its very sad indeed but look around you, can you think of a si…

  • @doubleoego One thing though, Lets go over the top . Since its inception Bond has been the in the top tier of action movies. But Brosnan had comes as life support to the series and towards the end they found themselves competing with Bourne whi…
  • Bravo! The Hanna clip gave me the much needed confidence in Joe Wright. It isn't exactly what you expect as in the Bond/Slate manner . But that's perfectly understandable since it wasn't aiming to do that. I agree with a more experienced team and …

  • For Bond 24 . If they do decide again to take a directory who is new to the field of action like Mendes. I hope he will at the very least take notes from the fisticuffs of CR and QoS. With a good second unit I feel it is very much possible to at…
  • 00Beast wrote: Watched Quantum of Solace last night, and wow, Daniel's fisticuffs are in prime time for the 2008 Bond release, let me say so! CR had some good hand-to-hand combat scenes, like those with Obanno and Gettler, but QoS easily "one-uppe…

  • I found the Brosnan movies fun. :). He gets slated quite often over here.
  • SaintMark wrote: And make it a great actioner that is fun too, so give us a decent action director. The MOST IMPORTANT point, in my books.
