Title: Quantum of Solace was terrible.

That was quite an amusing Bourne sequel, but fuck that was NOT Bond in any way shape or form.

Good news being this is just a bridge film right? D: There better be another, longer, better one ala Casino Royale.

Things exploded, people died, and people ran across rooftops. Good enough for me.

I still haven't read the Bourne trilogy yet. Maybe I should do that sometime.

Quantum wasn't bad from the standpoint of someone who wanted to go and see a movie for huge explosions, tons of action, and people getting shot at. The lack of a plot, or rather, it taking a backseat to the numerous chases and killings throughout the movie. So, yes, as far as plot goes its not that great.

However, in my opinion, this movie was not meant to be so much about how Bond stops some guy from doing... something, I don't know, as it was meant to be about Bond's character changes post-Vesper's death, or just about how he goes about dealing with it. It wasn't especially well done, but it's there.

So yes, if you're a stuck-up movie prick who can't function without a complex and coherent plot line or wonderfully imaginative characters, yes, Quantum is bad. But if you can pull your head out of your ass long enough to just enjoy the spectacle and all the explosions, it's thoroughly entertaining for one and a half hours.

if i loved the brand and the characters and so on, i might indulge some inadequacies, but I'm not that into the bond media franchise. that means if I see that movie I go as a stuck up movie prick who can't function without a complex and coherent plot line or wonderfully imaginative characters, yes.

It started out great, but it looked so winged in the end, and how corny is one to go about creating a of trying to turn water into gold?

It depressed me.

Indeed. Atoms do not work that way.

In actuality, it would be theoretically possible to use water to create gold, however, with current technology, we couldn't do it. Theoretically, I can create anything I want from hydrogen alone by way of fusion. However, just fusing hydrogen to create helium is hard enough. It would be impossible to fuse enough into helium and then fuse that helium into beryllium, into oxygen, into sulfer, etc. and then fuse it with enough deuterium or tritium to create a proper gold atom.

...wow, I sound like a nerd.

The principle is money: making the water worth gold: if you make water into gold than gold would be worthless.
