suggest you look up the meanings of the words "quantum" & "solace" here - http://www.onelook.com/

For comparative ratings of Bond movies see here - http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...5006023,00.html

The selective memory still maintains that a good script and good acting beats special effects & action sequences every time

 

I am aware of both meanings. I'm also aware that it is the name of a short story by Ian Fleming and refers to a period of kindness that can make or break a relationship.

And I still think it is a dumb name.

 

What are the suggestions for an alternative name?

 

How the hell would I know?

Live and let roger?

Goldraker?

The man with the octopussy?

Went to watch the movie last night. Was pretty good, but not good enough for me to want to go and watch again in the cinemas.

I hadn't really paid much attention to the hype so was surprised to find this one was a sequel to the last one.

off topic - but since when were there so many normal ads at the beginning of the movie?

Also, the trailer for Jim Carrey's movie looks funny as.

 

watched this last night in a full cinema.....

to be honest , i wasnt impressed , chase scences were too hard too follow ( bad camera work) .

the movie just lacked "mojo" i tried to like it ... but left dissapointed . The bad guy just wasnt bad enough IMO and he didnt have a trade mark defect either , which is uncool ehehhee

i dont think you can quality Olga as a "Bond girl" cause Bond didnt shag her

and is it just me . or the villian looks just like Rupert from the Hello Deli from the Late show ?




overall , i give this one 2 flat tops out of 5 !

 

I saw it thursday night at a CareFlight charity function.

I was impressed. I love the way the Bond image has been reborn for the 21st century. Less hammed up lines and goofy karate chops, more dialog and action.

With regard to the name, before I saw the movie I thought it was dumb. To be specific it seemed pretentious.

Having seen the movie my opinion hasn't changed. The evil organisation is called Quantum so there is half a tie in. But there is no solace from this firm. Continuum of Malice would be more accurate but no less nerdy.

As for the villian not having a defect, have you noticed his eyes?

 

I thought it was an interesting movie...definitely not a typical bond movie with gadgets...the opening scene was pretty intense though!
