people see quantum as an individual bond movie and don't see it as a continuation of casino royale and it took more of the story from the book and the title. Bond is in pain and wants revenge but does all the things he does bring him to his quantum of "solace" solace= comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness. and well after Vesper's death, you can see why people rate it as a bad bond movie it doesn't conform to the bond aesthetic because it's a revenge story, not a bond movie.

I've always been a fan of Dominic Green as a villain. He's the perfect type of slimy psychopath that was the logical progression from Le Chieffre in the last movie.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Exactly. Le Chifre was cold and calculated for the most part - while also being in between two nails so to speak. Contrary, Green is just psychotic and gives little credit to his own existence, thus he is difficult to pressure because he doesn't have any comfort zone to begin with. He's always in a grey area where you don't really know what to expect from him. A slimey guy who can slither between higher powers and work situations to his benefit. Much more akin to real-life behind the curtain "villains".

[@jbain4750]

@bloodymuzzle Right, quantum is much more of an internal journey for Bond, so it does make sense that instead of being the main feature of the movie Greene is just a despicable asshole along the way.

[@KC-vq2ot]

I think it is more about uncanny valley then anything else. Especially if we are talking about some really damn good English. Because the pronunciation is good enough, you can't really pinpoint where the guy is coming from more precisely than general ethnicity. Which, congratulations, doesn't help at all because we are talking about regions one third of the Europe in size. And then, no matter how good it gets, you can never truly get rid off some odd speech quirks that you bring from your own language. Like, yes, the word is correct, but what an odd choice! Or if in the middle of the perfect speech there is some word that clearly is "the next best thing", because, for example there is some issue with back-translating or simply not enough granularity to convey meaning. For example, in Slavic languages we don't differentiate between the crimes very much. To us "killing" and "assasination" are the same word. Just like "burglary" and "theft". And these are not the words you use in your every day speech, so it is easy to forget what exactly each of them means and use them incorrectly. Which, by the way is a sin, that writers don't use it more often. It is either for a very comedic effect or the accent itself is so over the top that comrades all over the world feel shame for it. Like, come on. If you want your character having an accent, at least bother to research it and think about it.

[@edslushie570]

One detail that I love is that so much of the movie is set in oppressively hot environments - but the final scene takes place in the snow. It doesn’t just symbolize Bond’s feeling of relief; it makes you *feel* it.

I've always enjoyed QoS, I never understood why it go so much hatred. It's got some stunning shots (one of which had a photo taken behind the scenes that eventually became the cover art for the video game 007: Blood Stone), the most grounded plot of the franchise, and the *second* best Bond girl behind Vesper (if you can really even call either of them that, so much so that I completely forgot they even kissed in this movie and I've seen it half a dozen times). I understand that Quantum as an organization only exists because EON didn't own the rights to Spectre until 2012, but I like it as an idea and it ending up as just an arm of the larger Spectre was a good move, but poorly executed. I would have liked to see Bond spend a few films going after the other seven before tackling the head, but I also understand that that would have extended far beyond the usual Bond actor's tenure.

[@claytoncourtney1309]

I was disappointed that Quantum was an arm of SPECTRE and not the other way around. If I could control the situation I would have had In CraigBond 3: SPECTRE becomes part of the CraigBond universe because it is needed by Quantum. Now that Quantum is more out in the open they would need a SPECTRE. division. In CraigBond 4: SPECTRE takes over Quantum from the inside. You could have introduced Blofeld in 3 and even in 4 Bond unknowingly helps Blofeld take down Quantum In Cragibond 5: You get a less cringy background for the personal conflict between Bond and Blofeld because Bond realized he was used by Blofeld.

[@needamuffin]

@@claytoncourtney1309 An interesting take and it may have been thrown around, but I think the combination of not owning the rights to Spectre or Blofeld until after Skyfall's release and the questionable nature of what would actually be Craig's last outing of Bond (he originally said he never wanted to play the character again after Skyfall) would have made your vision hard to get out there.

It would be like asking a boxer who is standing there with three broken bones and a shattered face how eager he is to go into a another fight right away. The fact he has since come back and done another two movies as that character since saying the comment also proves he wasn't done with the character. People see acting as this easy thing. you just stand in front of a camera do a thing and if it's good your done, if not do it again. But like any job it is intense and emotional and draining. Actors also hate being shoehorned into only a single role, so being asked to keep doing more of the same over and over and over is going to grate on the nerves too.

This guy is Good! Not sure how these came into my channel recommendations, but I'm glad they did. Has made me look again at my CraigBond collection. More please! 😀

[@kamronmehra9466]

Absolutely love how the suit prices progresses as the video goes on

[@Dreamyblue101]

Awesome dude

[@neonom1024]

I think this might be the artsiest Bond film. Each of the 4 major action set pieces are based on the four elements: Earth - car chase in the quarry, Water - boat chase, Air - plane crash & parachuting, Fire - exploding hotel in the desert.

THANK YOU for getting back to the Bond franchise! I found your channel because of "Casino Royale" and have loved the channel. Also, I actually really like this movie and felt it was needed after "Casino Royale" and as always I enjoyed your take on it. My least favorite Bond movie is "Diamonds Are Forever" because it ruined the devastating ending to "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" plus it was just ridiculous. "Quantum of Solace" shows Bond really becoming Bond and I this it's GREAT!

[@JavierMD42]

I know I'm repeating verbatim a comment I made in the last video, but: Could you win the movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"? The one with Nicholas Cage. It kinda flopped, and basically no one talks about it, but for some reason it's a really dear movie to me.

[@galaxystar8232]

Its really good I love that movie

[@albertnewton7375]

Yes please I love that film

[@RyanMK666]

The price of the suit going up every single time for some reason really had me cracking up 🤣

[@BAGA-fy1kd]

Omg I am so excited Skyfall! I've always loved Bond, but that was the first movie where the final set piece literally made my jaw drop.

[@deaks25]

I've always really liked Quantum of Solace. I liked that it tied up Casino Royale's story threads, I loved the imperfect Bond; Daniel Craig has just enough of the polished wit and swagger to be recognisable as Bond, but still makes mistakes and it was here that for me that the theory that Bond/007 is just an eternal code name and it's a different person who gets given that title became film canon. And most of all, I liked that it wasn't "evil guy doing evil things because evil", it was a shady company trying to shamelessly control everything and doing anything to make it happen. It felt real (Even though I didn't know it was based off real events), and that's great. I think the best spy movies are the ones that could actually happen in real life and just be so secretive that we just don't hear about it and this film fits that perfectly for me. I treat Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace as full part 1 & 2 and always watch both together and I'm never disappointed.

So glad to find another person on Earth that feels about this movie the way I do.

[@enguerrandbrusseaux8423]

Anyone realise how the price of the suit goes up by $1000 every time its mentioned?

[@seanmonagle6865]

Love the Arrested Development reference with the suit price

[@borannkek]

I’m so glad someone else got this

[@libbyandtai]

Lol That Captain Planet joke Nice Planetina and Captain Planet need to meet LOL

[@2Rice]

can't wait for an everything great about Shang-chi when that finally happens. This makes me want to go back and watch Bond. Its been awhile.

[@evanarnall9242]

Quality

[@ajzebadua]

Something you missed is that the hotel at the start of the film is called Hotel Dessaline - which could be looked at as "saltless" through French. Subtle hint to the plot being about water and not oil.

[@strawberrykicker2]

I think the thoughts about the final fight with Greene were pretty much the exact way it was approached when they were filming it. It may have been on the commentary or something but I definitely remember hearing that the idea was Greene wouldn't have been experienced in combat like most villains/henchmen so would just lash out wildly which would throw bond off due to being used to fighting against a knowledgeable opponent

[@bacicleeme6176]

I think it would be cool if he did The secret life of Walter Mitty

[@thegunslinger1363]

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." Ben Stiller really knocked it out of the park with that one.

[@awesomeMSE]

You should definitely take a look at the movie Upgrade. It's a hidden gem of a cyberpunk action movie with some positively fantastic fight sequences and some pretty neat twists.

[@theKonfusion]

I love how the suit values goes up every time its mentioned!

[@skarloey1214]

I Think you Should Do The Toy Story Movies

[@amurderofbananas7449]

Love the Gob nods. Beautifully done.

[@merkury06]

I always liked Quantum of Solace, never understood why it got so much hate. Now, after the last film (No Time to Die), Solace is one of the best of the Craig era.

Since you point out so many things, one more, Giancarlo Giannini (Mathis) is a monster of an actor, watch some of his stuff.

[@therizinosaurus214]

Thanks for pointing out the meaning behind title, I have always said this to some of my other friends that were a little harsh to the movie.

[@jorgecarbajal8076]

6:17 Honestly, that is a cool idea, and I’d like to see it more often. 15:13 That was well played. Additionally, it is an excellent example of subtle foreshadowing.

[@ApieceofWoods]

Keep up the great content! More Bond movies would be wonderful to see. Also, I will always ask, if you could do war movies like Black Hawk Down, Saving Private Ryan, Lone Survivor, or others it'd be really nice to see your take on them because they are a different genre than other movies.

[@sailor_guy9841]

What I love in this version of James Bond is everything is real life,Real life politics,real life tactics/gunsmithing and his early life and childhood (I mean I just read his wiki so it’s actually interesting) from Casino royale to Not time to die,from childhood (yes when I was a kid) my dad has introduced me James Bond CDs I watched from 1st movie till spectre and now I am 20 and I watch every movie carefully and tbh this version feels whatever this version James Bond is doing is what he will do In Real Life no gadgets,Real life politics and the new political game called “Chess and Spy”.

[@jordanwalker9853]

You should do the Lethal Weapon franchise! All such amazing movies!! Great chemistry between all the actors, great one-liners, good action and hilarious to boot!

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Th very subtle incidental music throughout this film was a particular highlight.

[@TheSixtiesteenager]

My absolute favourite Bond movie - it's stripped down to the basics, nothing superfluous & a wonderful & the best ever heroine in Natasha Kurylenko - Bond & Montes exchange one brief kiss at the end - perfect! 🙂

[@davidstinger1134]

Pretty sure she's called Olga Kurylenko, not Natasha.
