    The Bond/Felix dialogue worked well in the film's trailer.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    "You should really just answer CIA, Felix. The taxi driver told me where your office was"

    There's some good, cynical dialogue in QoS.

    Charlie Chaplain's granddaughter as the hotel waitress. Just as Buster Keaton's granddaughter played a rape victim in 1978's 'I Spit On Your Grave', so Chaplain's granddaughter's character becomes a victim of sexual assault in this movie.

    Now it starts to feel like a James Bond movie.

    I like the dialogue in the correct languages and the subtitles. One of the advantages of a director whos first language isn't English.

    Good sountrack as the me confrontation nears.

    I think the scene between Greene and Medrano is excellent... one villain duping another. The dialogue is cracking and it's very well played.

    It’s an action sequence? Fire, bloodbath, revenge and a hatchet job?

    Modrano’s killing feels suitably vengeful though.

    Did the waitress get out?!
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Great dialogue. " ..... and your willing replacement standing above you."

    Really uncomfortable upskirt shot as she climbs off the bed :#

    I love how Bond shields Camille in the fire.
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,998MI6 Agent
    Camille is so consumed with her desire for revenge she seems cruelly indifferent about Medrano's other woman victim... who presumably may not survive?

    It's great seeing some interesting architecture in a Bond film again.
  • Shady TreeShady Tree London, UKPosts: 2,998MI6 Agent
    For a man of unprepossessing physical build, Almaric makes a good show of physical confrontation with Bond... showing his true mania when he goes crazy with the axe.

    Camille and Bond’s goodbye scene is nice... the fact it’s short adds to it.

    They should have edited so we didn't know it was Camile shooting when Greene says "Sounds like you just lost another one!"

    Would you drink the motor oil, really?!? ?:)

    The pyrotechnics are scary... I think the only time in a Bond that they've seemed so (except perhaps in AVTAK).

    As far as I know the only time in a Bond film where he considers suicide?

    Interesting. Except this way we have the dramatic irony of knowing Greene's wrong about it.

    The end scene- promising.

    I do love that final scene in the snow.... the final payoff of CR-06 - M WAS right. And 007 knew it.

    What’s the gun barrel doing down here?

    'The Dead Don't Care About Vengeance' is possibly my favourite Arnold cue.

    Like the opening scene of Casino Royale, this Russia sequence reminds me of classic old school espionage films.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    They should have left out the kiss or gone all the way and have Bond and Camile have sexual relationship.
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,860Chief of Staff
    "Wish I could help"- great line

    Corrine is too flat. She needs to react more.
