    Quantum of Solace is exactly like Miley Cyrus. Overhated.

    It's "overhated" for a good reason though. The editing and the story. Or lack there of. Not to mention Martin Campbell, Sam Mendes and Christopher Nolan are better filmmakers than Marc Forster.

    So, you're the one who's gonna jump on the Quantum of Solace bandwagon, am I right? :))

    From Russia With Love. It's better in every way, from beginning to end. One is the best Bond film ever made, the other is a mediocre effort at best.

    Christopher Nolan wants to direct a Bond film. And If Michael and Barbara are smart, they'll let him direct it.

    +I too think Nolan will eventually direct at least one.

    Could you imagine what Bond would be like if Christopher Nolan directed one, and his brother Jonathan Nolan (whose writing credits include The Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight) wrote one?

    Can I imagine - yes I can. Far far too Hollywood. Mendes is about right - he deals with Hollywood but his own terms.

    To be honest he wasn't mentioned. So your talking hyperbole here..

    In many ways both films were very important, like a bands
    Second album. ;) with FRWL we got a fantastic cold war
    Thriller. With QOS hey took some chances, some worked
    Some ........ Both good films. {[]

    Sam Mendes isn't going to direct Bond forever.

    Anyway From Russia With Love is clearly better because it's easier to keep up with the action in the story.

    Really ? What can't you understand ? It's the most straight-forward movie in the franchise...

    You don't get it, do you? It's hard to keep up with the action in Quantum of Solace because it's mostly just a damn flurry of motion that was clumsily edited together. Even the late Peter R. Hunt would look at Quantum of Solace and throw his freaking hands up in the air, in frustration. Now that's all I have to say on the matter, so good day to you, sir.
