looks pretty dope imo, i like the less-frenetic style. not as down on QoS as some folks but it was def too bourney.
― omar little, Monday, 21 May 2012 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
QoS had some great location choices in that the plot _was_ the location. Unfortunately the bits more reliant on dialogue and emotion were not as good.
I felt like The International, which came out the following year, had some similar issues.

i'd like some good one-liners and not weird stuff like the ones in skyfall like where he lolled @ the woman being shot
Yeah. A while ago I rewatched For Your Eyes only, and it was kinda weird to realize that movie had the strongest female protagonist in any Bond movie made before or after it. Not long after that I went to see Skyfall, and it had the rapey boat scene, the aforementioned "just shoot her" scene, plus the Moneypenny subplot with the implication that women aren't cut to be field agents, and the ending where the proper gender order was re-established with a new male M and a Moneypenny behind the secretary desk... Give me your over-the-top crossbow-wielding female avengers and thighs-of-death assassins over this kind of "realism" anyday.
― Tuomas, Monday, 18 November 2013 15:26 (ten years ago) link
Yeah totally, all of that is the main reason I really can't imagine ever wanting to watch this again, that and it being eight years long.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 18 November 2013 15:30 (ten years ago) link
I don't know why but I'm again pondering how unfortunate it was that there was an actual Bond film with Christopher Walken and Grace Jones and they fucked it up by having a weak plot
― mh, Monday, 18 November 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link
tbh there isnt any suggestion throughout craig's tour of duty that he's cut out to be a field agent himself, it's three movies of disaster upon disaster.

i had forgotten, or never clocked, that just before the infamous "waste of a good scotch" line when bardem pours craig the 50-year-old macallan and clinks bond's glass, saying "to women we have loved", bond actually drinks it. bond doesn't drink that, does he? a villain's toast?
