Loved it too...  though i must admit, this was the first Bond movie where at the end I didn't have the thought "man, it sure would be sweet to be James Bond."

I have to say though... the character Fields stole the movie for me  :aok


she was awesome, and wasn't even the "official" Bond girl from the flick...

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I have to say that I like the "reality" based Bond a lot more that the previous ones.  No sci-fi gimmicks, and gone are the obligatory endings that has Bond pumping the Bond Girl (whether on the space shuttle in zero g, or submarine escape pod, or whatever) while Q runs interference so the Queen, or M, who's standing by to congratulate him, doesn't catch on to what's going on...   :D

Some minor spoilers here -- you've been warned.

I thought it was overall a good flick, but it didn't blow me away.  The initial action sequence was imo the best, after that they got a bit superfluous. (I didn't like the boat chase at all :( )  Also, I don't think they pulled off the "Lets make this plot seem believable and a political statement."  Too many plots and side stories mixed in together in an incoherent manner, which came across as half-arsed and hurt other aspects of the movie. (IE character development...did anyone care at all what happened to anyone but M?)   

I guess I'm just squaring this one up against Casino Royale, which was in my mind phenomenal.  QoS did a good job of going back to bond roots -- action, girls, explosivo -- but lacked some of the quality of the last one. 

It's still worth checking out.

Note to self -- don't stay in explosive hotels.

I loved the DC-3.

First thing I thought when I saw the movie was: This is why you have to take your goon NOE..... Now release the troops!

***Mild spoiler warning***






TOO MUCH SHAKY ACTION CAMERA. ARRRRRRRRRGH.
It was damned impossible to enjoy any of the action scenes because you couldn't tell what the hell was going on. Apparently they hired the Bourne guy, which will be immediately obvious to anyone who sees the movie. Infuriating.


Fields was ridiculously hot. Far hotter than the faux-Bolivian girl.


The Bolivian propfighter pilot must have been incompetent. Also, because of the shaky camera it was impossible to tell how Bond mysteriously forced him to crash into the side of a mountain.

Anyway... very disappointing movie. Depressingly shallow.

I must have missed the half-second extreme closeup blurry shot of it.

Of course, that makes perfect sense. Everyone knows Bolivian pilots are incompetent, and will gladly drop to stall speeds to kill a goony. ;)
