I am a HUGE Bond fan and I couldn’t wait to see the movie. However, I was a little disappointed in the film. What ever happened to Bond, James Bond? Actually asking for a Martini Shaken, Not Stirred. The Gadgets. Not one gadget. Are gadgets too common place now? I will have to get the DVD and watch it again to see if QOS grows on me.

OH and the HORROR, wrecking a Aston Martin in the opening sequences and never having Bond in a decent car the rest of the movie.

Like many I’ve seen all the Bond films and read all the Fleming books more than once. “QOS” had lots of action, and the plot is not “complicated” but it didn’t break new ground. Can M trust Bond? (saw that in CR and DAD); Woman he just slept with is murdered and M and crew show up to clean up (see CR); Bond uses phone yet doesn’t use the camera feature at the dock to ID the hottest babe in the film (yet he uses it at the play backstage later in the film); M’s bodyguard of FIVE years (and she’s known him for eight) is a double agent yet she still feels she can trust the team around her? And my last point, CR was supposed to be a reboot, yet all the villains know Bond is 007 already. I guess being a spy isn’t what it used to be.

Where’s Q and Blofeld when you need em.

Tim, Tim, Tim! For the first time since I’ve read your book, you’ve really disappointed me. James Bond, really?!?

Just my opinion and can be argued. But one thing missing from these new Bond films: Q.

I always enjoyed seeing the grand reveal of gadgets. Yes, the new films have plenty of cool devises – GPS phones, glass table projectors, etc. But I wanted to see a watch that was also a knife/camera/laser/chicken potpie maker. Is that so much to ask?

Also, Daniel Craig didn’t smile once. I think every other Bond gave a certain confidence and charm when he smiled.

Tim,

Just finished your book. Loved every bit of it. Saw the premier of QS in Denver, while dressed in a tux after a Bond Martini. I wasn’t as impressed with it as I wanted to be. 7/10 on my scale, but the opening sequence and song, opera scene, and part with Mathis were the best of the film.

Thomas Crown Affair 2 is coming out in 2009. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for that one!

Thanks for the Inspiration,
Trent
