[@kevinsommerfield21]

Daniel Craig stated that he actually had to write part of the movie himself, along with the director, and as he said, "I am not a writer." All things considered, I think they did their best.

[@walteravila4072]

This was heavily affected by 2007 writers' strike, the next one is so so good.

[@itzbp9949]

This one isn't bad

[@suddenimpulse030]

The Daniel Craig films are barely Bond films. Read the books.

[@KrunoslavStifter]

*Quantum of Solace* interesting, is the most realistic plot in any Bond movie. I heard they were going for quick cuts and more down to earth plot to compete with Bourne that was gaining traction.

[@KrunoslavStifter]

@@suddenimpulse030 Yeah, there is a cool meme somewhere, where they compare Craig's Bond with Connery's Bond. And Connery is flirting, having a good time, drinking martinis, joking etc. And Craig's Bond is miserable all the time, alcoholic, doesn't flirt but can't let go of that one chick, he barely uses gadgets anymore. they also made Q some zoomer kid and Money Penny they turned into black feminist, lol no inuenndo between that character and bond, which was always fun. Overall feminist era Bond got progressively worse until he was practically on his way out to make room for black feminist Bond. Look so many other source materials, butchered by woke Hollywood.

[@wuthebest]

@@KrunoslavStifter If you think Bond doesn't flirt in the Craig movies - I feel sorry for your partner

[@joemackley7894]

Daniel Craig wrote this himself thanks to the 2007 writers strike. When you look deeper into the plot, its actually a really solid movie. Dominic Greene is in a way more terrifying than most Bond villains, because instead of a cat stroking criminal mastermind, he’s someone who can exist in the real world. A sleazy businessman who makes deals with corrupt politicians.

[@chasetoy1087]

He contributed to it, but he didn't do the whole thing himself. There were actually 3 writers aside from Craig's (uncredited) contributions and Craig's contributions had to do with him and the director "re-writing" many scenes at the last minute and on the fly due to the Strike. It originally wasn't intended to be a sequel to Casino Royale but the things that ended up making it a sequel were those rewrites.

[@glenharrison983]

I really like the plausible, real world storyline of this movie. The CIA matter-of-factly doing business with some extremely nasty people and being quite happy to screw over their allies in the process. And Quantum aren't trying to take over the world, because - as a group of extremely rich industrialists and powerbrokers - they effectively run the world already.

[@davidking4838]

True.......Yet "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die" is the single best bond movie line ever.

[@J_Tevo]

Ah how fitting. A writers strike film fits perfectly for this time of year.

[@phoenixdzk]

Ooh deep cut!

[@fredermac7468]

Bond, to M at the end, “Congratulations, you were right.” he finally admits that he did love Vesper. And that sets the tone for his character. The womanizing playboy, who Bond always was, had one great love that hurt him so deeply that he could never be close to anyone again. This is why casino royale, and quantum of solace are my two favorite Craig movies. Enjoyed watching your reaction and I’m glad you liked it also.

[@marcw6875]

I think it was more admitting that M was right that Vesper wasn't just someone who betrayed him, but rather she was a victim of circumstances that forced her to do what she did. It's true that he did love Vesper, but considering he casually tossed aside that necklace of hers at the end of this movie, the message seems to be more that he thinks the Vesper chapter is over and he's not looking back. Don't forget that Bond still had his womanizing moments in Skyfall and Spectre.

[@bdijkstra1982]

One great love, like contessa Teresa di Vincenzo?

[@fredermac7468]

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

@@johnbernhardtsen3008 Sure, but for Moore that was part of the charm at the time, in a sense you didn't want him to Houdini his way out of being chained up or to MacGyver a little bomb out of office supplies or just be stronger than the badguys planned for (The Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman were doing that), you wanted him to pull out a Q gadget or just outmaneuver the badguy. And you're being a bit unfair to Brosnan's Bond, for example remember the helicopter and the tank in GoldenEye or the tall building and motorcycle chase and endfight with Stamper in Tomorrow Never Dies.

[@theawesomeman9821]

@@jamesbernadette6216 I guess it's obvious that I'm a very casual user of social media. I live in America--don't want to assume that you do, as well--and for a country that likes to tout the principle of free speech, there's a tremendous amount of censorship happening. I know the "culture wars" have been ongoing for decades but it's been exceptionally vicious lately. The hypocrisy of all sides. The use of technology to further enforce censorship is a fascinating but terribly sad development.

I wish it gets better before it gets any worse.

[@Vulcanerd]

I am one of these weirdos that really enjoyed this one. I liked how it deals with the fallout of what happened (immediately) after Casino Royale, I liked that Camille and Bond had two separate, but parallel stories going and he didn't even have to sleep with her and the movie starts with, imo, the best Bond chase scene of the franchise and, just as you catch your breath, you get another white knuckle chase scene, this time on foot. And, while you get a better feel for the shadowy organization behind Le Chiffre and Dominic Greene, you still don't have a full grasp of just how extensive it is, not to mention you conclude the film with Bond turning even harder and colder than he ever was and you understand why.

[@ProfesorMeistergeist]

Two fun facts: Bolivia was chosen as part of the plot because of the country's history of water. In 1999, the Cochabamba Water War happened, it was a series of protests against the privatization of the city's water supply. Several scenes in the Atacama desert were recorded in the north of Chile, during the filming there was an incident. The mayor of the commune of Sierra Gorda, Carlos López, staged a protest because he was angry at the filmmakers' portrayal of the Antofagasta Region as part of Bolivia. He was arrested for trespassing the set and put on trial 2 days later.

[@understatedwalrus]

To me, the funniest about this terrible script was that the Evil Plan of the villains to double Bolivia's water bills actually happened in real life, except in real life they tripled the bills. Making the movie villain evil conspiracy actually less evil than the real life corporation was a hell of a choice lol

[@powertothepeople9271]

Quantum of Solace was originally a short story by Ian Fleming in his collection called FOR YOUR EYES ONLY which is also a movie title starring Roger Moore as Bond.

[@suddenimpulse030]

The Daniel Craig movies are barely even Bond movies honestly.

[@christianwise637]

The irrational hatred of the one henchman with the Dumb and Dumber haircut was not something I expected to see in this reaction, but seeing it was definitely the highlight of my evening. Quantum of Solace is a Bond film that tends to get a bad rap, but I don't think the film is _that_ bad. It's clear that the script suffered due to the 2007-8 writers' strike (quite an apt time to release this reaction), resulting in a convoluted and overstuffed story, a weak villain and underdeveloped plot beats. The editing is also a problem, the entire film is cut to ribbons in that very typical Jason Bourne-esque fashion, making the action scenes in particular very hard to follow. That said, I love the way they've developed Bond's character and actually explored his grief and depression following Vesper's betrayal and death. Daniel Craig himself is excellent as always, the music is legitimately great (save for that awful theme song), and there's some great scenes here like the opera scene. This film has the bare bones of a good or even great Bond film, but it had the misfortune of being made and released at the worst possible time, plus having to follow up Casino Royale. It's not as terrible as many people say, but it is definitely a rather weak and underwhelming entry. Thankfully we got Skyfall next, which is a massive improvement and a strong contender for the title of the best film in the series

[@shainewhite2781]

The movie had a mixed reception because this was released during the 2007-2008 Writers Strike.

[@VKunia]

how fitting i happened to release it now 😭

[@normlee6566]

I agree. I am among those who appreciated quantum of solace. It had more emotional heft for the bond character who was clearly struggling with his grief. His brutality in this film was evident, especially that scene where he nonchalantly waits for one guy to die from the knife wound. That coldness was as close to the ian fleming character as i have seen portrayed on the big screen. In the end, he finally confessed the truth to M: it was all about vengence, not for the security of the country, but to settle a personal vendetta against the people who took away a life he really wanted. This storyline was John Wick before John Wick (sans the puppy).

[@user-Chris.Alger11]

Nice comment. A lot of people don't 'get' 007, if they read the books, they would see a MUCH darker figure than seen on film. Until now. THIS is the 'real' 007.

I always cry when in the end after killing the man who killed her father and raped and killed her mother and sister she sees the fire and just freezes. This movie contains two Black Widow actors David / Alexei aka Red Guardian and Olga / Antonia aka Taskmaster nice that they were reunited

[@jpat2493]

It is very underrated. It also is the most believable espionage plot of any Bond film.

[@vissenekku]

The biggest reason why this got criticized so much was because of the gap between the two films. People didn't expect a direct sequel, and they certainly didn't remember every little detail. In the beginning when Bond opens the trunk and we see that it's Mr. White, it immediately takes you out of the movie if you don't remember who he is.

[@VeryFastRodi]

Should really watch the older Bond movies, to get the origin of some of the call backs in the current ones. Like the lady covered in oil, being a call back to one of the first Bond movies. And its just fun to see what the storytelling, acting and action was like back then compared to these ones.

[@promiscuous675]

Trivia, the opening scene, of water and mountains followed by the car chase along the shore of Lake Garda, is in northern Italy, which is were the villa, set on the shores of Lake Como, from the last scene of the previous movie is located. I think when people say Quantum of Solace is the weakest of the Daniel Craig Bond movies they aren't saying it is bad, just that of five very good bond movies they think it is the least good. I think it is the most intimate of the Craig bonds, the motivations for both Bond and Montes are more personal than most Bond movies.

[@williamteel8344]

The Daniel Craig series of Bond films are the only ones that are a single, long arc of characterization. It’s subtle, and follows Fleming’s character arc from the books, which started with Casino Royale and was supposed to end with You Only Live Twice (from which much of No Time to Die was taken from). This film is very important in that arc, picking up as it does immediately after Casino Royale. I too think it was a strong outing, certainly better than its usually given credit for. While I do think it was less focused than Casino, I believe that Craig’s performance is exemplary, as is Olga Kurylenko’s.

[@MarkSW]

I hope you’ll get to watch the classic Bond films. I’ve always preferred them than Craig’s.

The main reason for the hate for this is that it followed one of the best in the franchise and dared to be mediocre. It also didn't help that the villain went from Le Chifre, master poker player and strategist, to "Chad". There was also no "Priveledged Henchman" in this one. Usually, there's at least one bad guy to provide a boss fight before the Big Bad. The closest thing this one had to it was the General, and Bond didn't even interact with him. She was given a huge backstory for a Bond Girl. Her story could have been a movie of it's own. At the end they just tossed it all away. The press also made a huge deal about the fact that the only part of this movie that came from the source material was the title. The original story was almost too short to be a short story, and was just about a dinner conversation. They didn't mention the fact that none of the Brosnan movies had any connection to the source material, and "The Spy Who Loved Me" only shared the title as well. The original story there was about Bond "Home Aloning" some mafia types in a motel, told form the perspective of the woman caught in the middle who was running the place. Fun Fact: if you read the Credits, Miss Fields first name was Strawberry. Like the Beetles song. Not so fun fact: Daniel Craig lost the tip of a finger filming the axe fight. They were able to sew it back on. I don't know which finger it was, but if you recall the line from Casino Royale... "If all that was left of you was you r little finger..." Looks like she had it exactly backwards.

[@mateuszmarciniak2828]

As someone who has recently watched all 25 Bond films I can confidently say: you should've watched some (or even all) of the older ones first, for some comparison and perspective how the series evolved. But, if you're not up for 20 films (which would provide you with a steady stream of content though; plus, I think even the worst Bond films should be watched at least one time), here are my propositions for (*ehem*) 2 films per actor (with some more mentions though, I couldn't help myself XP; spoiler free, of course): *Sean Connery era:* (Connery is the certified OG. Very dated in some aspects, but great nonetheless) _Goldfinger_ _You Only Live Twice_ honorable mentions: _Doctor No_ - the first Bond ever _From Russia With Love_ - another classic, just improving on the previous one dishonorable mention: _Diamonds Are Forever_ - the last official Connery Bond film (there was one unofficial later, but I didn't bother with it). I don't think it's bad, I just didn't like it much. *George Lazenby era:* (He brought more sensitivity to the character, which I found refreshing, but still in need of some polish.) _On Her Majesty's Secret Service_ - unfortunately Lazenby only had one film. Fortunately it's one of the best. If any Bond film is gonna make you cry, it's this one. *Roger Moore era:* (Roger was definitely the most humorous Bond, which fans find themselves either loving or hating.) _The Spy Who Loved Me_ _For Your Eyes Only_ honorable mentions: _Live And Let Die_ - Moore's debut as Bond. Not my cup of tea, but as I said, every Bond film should be seen at least once. _Moonraker_ - I think other fans would recommend it instead of FYEO, but I enjoyed the latter more. _Octopussy_ - probably the most underrated Bond film dishonorable mentions: _A Man With A Golden Gun_ - Christopher Lee is the villain. That's all I can positively say about it. _A View To A Kill_ - just one too many film for Moore. Still fun, but his age is showing more than before. *Timothy Dalton era:* (Timothy walked so Craig could run. Back in the '80s audience didn't react well to his tough-as-nails potrayal, but he's criminally underrated. My 2nd favourite Bond.) _The Living Daylights_ _License To Kill_ *Pierce Brosnan era:* (Definitely the most handsome Bond, Brosnan is often described as "jack of all trades, master of none". To me, he was the best Bond (stylish, confident, tough, but with a sense of humor), trapped in subpar films.) _Goldeneye_ _Tomorrow Never Dies_ honorable mention: _The World Is Not Enough_ - I didn't really vibe with it, but it has quite original villain, brilliant (though accidental!) sendoff for the original Q and probably the most memorable Bond sigma male moment. dishonorable mention: _Die Another Day_ - objectively it's one of the weakest Bond films. It did took gadgets, futurism and CGI a bit too far (and the writing was often disappointing), but I really liked it, early 2000's cheese. 😁 For Craig I would've recommended: _Casino Royale_ _Skyfall_ >honorable mention: _No Time To Die_ - you're gonna cry. A lot. >dishonorable mention: _Spectre_ - It had some good ideas, but also a metric ton of bad ones. Especially after you watch the older films.

[@R.Instro]

If you ever go back to the older Bond films, you'll see the parallels with the way Bond gets tied up by the heartstrings in _On Her Majesty's Secret Service_ in a way similar to how he did in _Casino Royale,_ and the result was very similar: an aloof, cool, calculating agent who will never again see "love" as anything but a gadget far more effective than anything Q ever developed for him. Also, you'll notice that 007 isn't the only player with a new face: Q, Felix, M, and a whole host of other characters are all here, and they play the same roles they always have even if the actors are different. It's something that (along with the soundtrack) gives the entire franchise a continuity that's almost impossible to match, no matter which era we're talking about

I loved the way this film told the story of James post-Vesper, and how he was able to get justice for her, in the end.

It felt like this Craig saga would go on without it, like it's just an interjection. But I still think it was quite good. Personally I also like Pierce Brosnan movies :) I understand people mostly like the more classic Cold War James Bond movies, but for me the Cold War is a bygone era (an era between interesting WWII and so-called "now"), so I always preferred the post-Cold-War ones, i.e. the ones from "now". Plus Pierce Brosnan works are bit more lighthearted than these serious and brutal Daniel Craig's movies, especially "Tomorrow Never Dies" (sort of my fav). Would be great if you took on Pierce Brosnan movies after you finish with Daniel Craig :) Oh and... Pozdrowienia z Polski! 😁

The complaints about this movie was more that it was a let down from the great Casino Royale introduction of Craig which got a lot of acclaim. However, this movie wasn't bad, just not the best of the bunch. Craigs run as Bond is seen as one of the strongest overall, right up there with Connery.

[@MrJakeasaur98]

I've never had any issues with QoS - I certainly enjoy the film, but I think there are a couple of reasons why its considered bad, or weak, compared to the other Craig Bond films. Firstly, it came directly after Casino Royale, which is probably considered the best by most (although I know a lot of people like Skyfall). Secondly, it is admittedly one of the weaker entries, because the others are so strong - not because it is itself bad. That said, I actually find this one more memorable than Spectre, for which the only real standout for me was Christoph Waltz.

Having seen your reactions to Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings... No Time To Die is going to break you...

[@coeusdarksoul2855]

"I actually don't know if it's a complaint on the acting, on the writing, on the pacing..." None of the above: It's a complaint on the complainers. This stupid-arse mentality among a few numpties that if it's not S-Tier it's F-Tier. It's a damn good movie that just happens to come right after an amazing movie.

[@CarolinaCharles777]

Thank you! I actually like this a lot. I've never understood the hate. Shockingly, I prefer this over the next 3.

[@entertainingCed]

such a great reaction! most just base it on a few flat things. you always dive deeper into the case, writing, lighting, videography, etc.......thank you for being so amazing. Daniel Craig was a great Bond. he care about the character/story so much.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

ye best is to consider it as a setup for later movies.

[@YannY1150]

Oh, I never watched the James Bond movies. Thanks for the reaction, I think I'll watch (the first) and this one too!

[@davidbreier84]

If you never watched Bond Movies then I would suggest you start with the older ones. While the new Daniel Craig Bonds are certainly good they are more a riff on the classic Bond tropes and somewhat toned down so I think you get most of the Daniel Craig movies when you go "hey, I get that reference!" instead of watching them blind.

[@YannY1150]

@@davidbreier84 Ahh okay, thank you for that. I didn't know.

* In the 1st draft of the script, the character of "Mitchell" was a Double-O Agent. They even mention his number. Supposedly he was "009". However, this was dropped from the script because they felt they should be a little more ambiguous about Mitchell, and make him more mysterious, because the organization he works for is very mysterious. In the script his first name was "Craig", but it is never mentioned on screen, nor in the credits(not even on the IMDB page). In the Quantum of Solace video game, they mention that his first name is "Henry", so this became his official name. Bond had a hell of a time putting him down. So, I could believe that he was a Double-O Agent, as efficient as he was. So, could he be *Henry* *Mitchell* *009* ? * Hey, if you wanna see something funny, type in your search *QUANTUM* *OF* *SOLACE* - *PROPOSED* *THEME* *SONG* It's pretty funny. They also have 2 other proposed theme songs. They're called: *No* *Good* *About* *Goodbye* by "Shirley Bassey. Yes, "Shirley Bassey". The lady who sang the theme song for "Goldfinger", "Diamonds are Forever" and "Moonraker". In-stead, they went with.....what they went with🙁 What were they thinking?! The other alternate song for Quantum of Solace was called *Forever* *I* *Am* *All* *Yours* by "Eva Almer. Which one is your favorite?

[@Kartissa]

I think the Suantum of Quolace would have been a better theme... Wait, did I get it confused? I got it mixed up.

[@AlexKnight009]

@@Kartissa * Lol I know, right? I was thinking if they called it "Something of Boris", they could bring the character of "Boris Grishenko" back from "GoldenEye". This would've been before he died of course lol, but then again, the "Thingy of What's It" has a nice ring to it as well. I wonder if that's what they called the adult version of this movie.

I don’t understand why so many ppl hated this film... I loved it, Daniel Craig is a phenomenal James Bond n I love all this bond films

I own this movie, part of a "Daniel Craig Collection" on blu-ray that was released before Spectre and No Time To Die, and I barely remembered anything about it. The theme song is what I like the most about it. The way every Bond movie is made is like if Nintendo, Chevrolet, McDonald's, Disney, and Nike were all working on something separately, and one guy who doesn't make as much money as any of them had the job of sticking it all together into one product. Basically, they scout locations, come up with action sequences, and then they try to write a story around what they came up with. So with this, they have locations in Italy, Panama, Chile, and Austria, on top of London. They have a car chase, that weird sequence on scaffolding and ropes, a boat chase, a plane chase, and several other sequences. A good script and director could make something great with all these disparate parts, while those out of their depth just don't have anything but the pretense of a story loosely connecting a series of cool things made with high production values. Bond is just sort of generally angry about Vesper, and his arc is just killing guys and then going back to MI6 as if nothing had changed. That decision makes this movie just not matter. Very few things in the Craig films carry over from one to the next, and they're very much designed to be standalone rather than a cohesive saga, and even if they explicitly try to have continuity and change, Bond is mostly just a blank slate that isn't so much shaped by his previous experiences as he is by what any given movie is needing him to be. And that's what's disappointing about the Craig films, starting with what a modern Bond movie could be, devolving back into business as usual bad to mid Bond movies, and not really doing anything new with the character until it doesn't even really matter. Wherever the franchise goes from here, they're going to need to hire good writers to collaborate across movies if they want to break out of this creatively bankrupt cycle.

[@kineuhansen8629]

i wonder who is going to be the next bond

[@davidclough3951]

All the actors that have played Bond did a great job, but I do like the pre Craig films better, except for the ones before the 80s, just not a fan of old movies. Liked the two Dalton films.

[@RoyKoopaling]

Whoever said this is the weakest hasn’t seen Spectre.

[@harryrabbit2870]

This movie would be a complete waste of time but watching your face during the reaction made it worth-while. Good job.

[@TTM9691]

The only essential James Bond films - which you'd do GREAT reactions to - are the Sean Connery ones. You're missing out on all of the humor, all of the FASHION...the iconic music. Just do them in order, they make HILARIOUS reactions. Jen Murray is a perfect example, she did all of them. There are a million reasons why you'd do great reactions on those. Start with Dr. No, and proceed to From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, and You Only Live Twice. Then you can do whatever you want. All of these Daniel Craig ones (and afterwards) are just bland 80s-90s action formula. Sean Connery IS James Bond, that's the Alpha and the Omega of it.

[@mikesmotorsportsgamingrevi4814]

You've got to watch the Pierce Brosnan films GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day

[@SG-js2qn]

Hmm, sounds like you've never seen "The Equalizer." FWIW, it came out a month before "John Wick" and earned twice as much domestically and abroad.

[@kieronball8962]

While the Craig Bond films have an audience, the best Bonds were Sean Connery and Roger Moore. With an honourable mention to Pierce Brosnan. :)

[@suddenimpulse030]

Goldeneye!

[@powertothepeople9271]

This movie has the shortest runtime if all of the OO7 movies.

[@zmarko]

Really wish you had started the Bond series at the beginning. Sure it would have taken a while, but the character and series has evolved over the decades, and if you ever go back and watch the earlier series, you may not enjoy them as much.

[@suddenimpulse030]

Honestly the old movies would not do well at all on youtube for views. But yeah the Daniel Craig films are barely bond films. It would be better to go with Goldeneye if she wants something more modern, or stuff like Sean Connery and Roger Moore for the older stuff.

[@TheRealAhoy]

Jen Murray did them all if you're looking
