Re: Quantum of Solace

Thought it was very good personally, even better on second watch. Not sure why people had trouble following the story, seemed fairly basic to me. And this is a good thing, I can't say I've ever gone to a Bond film for a "challenging" film, so not sure why this should change now.

Yes I think it does need watching twice.

Re: Quantum of Solace

I totally agree - this movie definitely needs a second watch!


When I watched it initially at the cinema, I found it dreadful, and I fell asleep!


Watched it again on blu-ray a couple of weeks back, and I loved it!

Re: Quantum of Solace

but WHY does it default to sub-titles every time I play it, or is it my player? None of my other BD films do it!

You need to knock off the subtitles manually before the film starts.


Just the way its setup I'm afraid.

Re: Quantum of Solace

We had a James Bond/Daniel Craig evening last night with Casino Royale closely followed by Quantum of Solace. While I did enjoy CR (again), QoS (first time viewing for both of us) was appallingly poor. They clearly have a sequel in mind, or nowhere very interesting to take the plot as it finished abruptly in a "no end". I was waiting for maybe another 30mins of it when the end credits started rolling. SO Disappointed, especially after the very decent effort that was CR.


CR 7/10


QoS 2/10
