Daniel Craig

I just came home from seeing it.

I liked it 


I like Casino Royale more, but It's still better than any of the last few before Craig took over


anyone think this one seemed a little OVER dramatic in some places? I did. It wasn't the same director as last time though, so I'm pretty sure that is why

Interesting movie.
Could've done without the whole 'chair' scene  , but otherwise entertaining.

Even more awkward watching it with your mom 

Sucks that I can't take my mom to the movies anymore...  invariably some make the beast with two backsed-up scene comes up...

ehhh

It was okay

Olga Kurylenko is by far my favorite Bond girl now. She is so Bello

I really didnt care for the way the action scenes were shot. Seemed to Bourne Like.

"The Producers have forgotten what makes Bond unique. Bond is supposed to be fun, over the top escapism. Not gritty and real. We want to be Bond, not have Bond be us. Solace is one relentlessly dour, emotionless movie."

where were the cool cars? the gadgets? the style? the charisma??  the whole movie was a ford commercial, bond drives fords now??
they ruined this series.... that wasn't bond that was friday the 13th

oh yea? I always noticed bmw's and aston martins, aston was owned by a division of ford for a hot minute but not anymore its privately owned.
bond always rocked hot cars hot women hot watches.. gadgets etc etc, this was not a bond movie rather part 2 of arnolds commando

a WITCH!!!

we found a witch may we burn him?

no,.........drown him. hold him under the water.
if he doesnt drown, he is a witch. then we can burn him

I don't get it

the title made perfect sense to me

Funny Brit way of saying

a small measure of peace

or

a minor comfort

Given that revenge is hollow and ultimately unfulfilling

they should have called it the bitter pill...

the product placement is getting terrible. I'm curious what happens now that Aston Martin and Land Rover aren't owned by Ford. The AM has been a bond car since the beginning....will he be in a ford GT for the next movie?

I think the SonyEricson was worse though....EVERY SINGLE PHONE....and Sony Vaio Computers. that was the last movie too.

At least with cars, you also saw the Alfas at the beginning and the old school bug halfway through

Is getting? Has Been for decades - like almost every other movie.

We went and saw it on Friday. My impression was that it was not as great as I had hoped that it would be.

Problem #1) Not a well established story: really, when I go to the movies, I'm looking forward to seeing a good story to accompany the action. The action was great, but there was too much of it and a total lack of story to support it.

Problem #2) Oil Death Scene: This was by far the most skilled element in the movie. Why? For anyone who has an affinity or education in literature, this is an awesome moment in what's called "intertextuality" - the moment when a reference is made that links litterary elements together from two different works without making an overt reference to one or the other. This was the most awesome part of the movie, and it was given a whole 2 seconds of screen time, and the role (echoing of Pussy Galore) was given to a supporting role character with no contribution to the story (or lack there of).

Problem #3) The action: As I watched the movie I couldn't help but notice that the action covered every aspect of moving vehicular action - meaning there was a car chase, a boat chase, a motorcycle chase, an airplane chase, horses, ect.... I mean...seriously as a director you should pick one or two and make them great and avoid them being just regurgitations (very different meaning from intertextuality) of previous movies (ie. the plane chase).

Cold hard butt-kicking movies aren't James Bond movies. Bond movies are slick, refines, cool, methodical, ect....

Oh, and pay close attention to Craigs "battle wounds" because one day he's falling through glass windows getting all cut up on his face, and the next morning/day scene, his cuts are amazingly gone!!!!

On a scale of 1-10.....I give it a 7.0

Just saw it.  I liked it, but it was lacking in a couple areas.  I agree, the oil murder scene should have been expanded, and the english consulate girl should have had a bigger role, or none at all.

More diverse cars would have been nice too.  I wonder how many Ford Edges are really in Bolivia?
