@kobosmart LWKMD wait wait so quantum of solace is better than skyfall? Skyfall made more money, skyfall got higher ratings skyfall is academy acclaimed. And quantum of solace is supposed to top that? It is so ironic that your name is kobosmart anyway will like to hear your views I would like a laff this evening

Skyfall isn't academy acclaimed it was a pure failure at the oscars look it up, good reviews were based on nothing no story,no plot, no action setpiece no dialogue it was just praised for nothing perhaps its hollywood politics nothing new and about high earnings c'mon its a james bond movie no matter how lame it is always the highest grossing of their time yes that includes octopussy so yea I think quantum of solace tops that.

Quantum of solace that is among the top ten largest grossing bond movies, quantum of solace got a B rating from critics and fans, quantum of solace that turned daniel craig into her majestys sweet heart, quantum of solace that set the path for new bond films to follow it killed the franchise? If any bond movie killed the bond franchise it is skyfall cos now the franchise has no direction and has made a full scale mockery of the movies timeline and character development the old characters are back but in a modern era which makes you question movies like golden eye where judi dench introduced herself as the first female M the franchise has thrown away the direction of gritty and realistic and has taken to humiliation and childish pander .its so fuucked up right now that I don't even care to know if there is ever going to be a follow-up. Quantum of solace a wreck? hell I think I will like to know where u get these ur gist from

Ans: Q gave bond a portable motorbike set which bond took out of his pocket and inflated it was grin off camera tho.

Now my question, why wasn't moneypenny able to shoot the assassin at the bridge @ point blank range did he spray on some kind of bullet repellent that kept deflecting the bullets I just don't get it

Ans: no rather the bridge was made of magnets which attracted all the bullets allowed non of them touch the assassin


Question: why the Bleep was no one interested in following silva's plot, the casino security, the disgusting lizard even the assassin at istanbul THEY ALL TRIED TO KILL BOND" didn't they know they weren't supposed to.

Ans: well that's becos the real story in skyfall if there was any, lasted for only 30minuted so the franchise killers john logan and sam mendes decided not to make the shortest bond movie or perhaps write a real script but to mish-mash a couple of cliches from other movies so as to make it the longest bond movie

Now my question how exactly did bond survive the istanbul shooting and drowning u knw no one has really had an answer for that question

Oh yea and lemme add that in the istanbul shooting
-Bond was shot with a poisonous bullet in the shoulder
-Bond was shot in the stomach with a long range snipers rifle and u know how long those bullets can be
-bond fell off a speeding train head first 100 ft into a lake which from that distance rather feels like a rock rather than water
-bond then fell thru a water fall probably to sharp rocks at the bottom
- and finally bond's body sank into a lake(wonder why it was that deep in the first place)

So think well before explaining one of the world's. Greatest wonders

angry aaaaaaaaaagh! The pressure fine I will answer the question (sign of the cross) well................ Bond had a twin brother who was also a spy. Doesn't that make sense? Think about it no one says his name he could be john bond you know, and when we see bond on the crappy island, he has a beard and looks so old while the istanbul bond didn't have any.and the bond in istanbul fought like an idiiot while the bond in china just acted like a retard.
See? Bond had a twin what do you think?

Well I think it was a dream, that would explain why M didn't have a swam of helicopters try to stop the assassin in turkey or why 007 woke up on some tropical resort and why he isn't really annoyed with moneypenny or M hell he even tried to sleep with moneypenny doesn't look like something I would do to someone who almost killed me
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by 33117(f): 10:11pm On Nov 23, 2013
Well I think the bond we saw at istanbul was actually a clone, bond felt the need to put M's "motherly" love for him to the test so he asked the clone to ride the bike slowly, to shoot at the fruit carts in the market place rather than patrice then to deliberately put himself in a situation which will not make him look trustworthy and test M to see if she would care so much about him that she would refuse to take the rather senseless long ranged shot however that seemed to have fallen flat and bond was sad cry and became a drunken mess grin kind of like the movie
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by kobosmart(m): 10:58pm On Nov 23, 2013
angry must I have to do everything myself. No one is talking about how bond survived everyone is just suggesting that bond died anyway here's my theory:
So bond is floating in a river when some fisher men stumble upon him they just happened to be medical doctors and they found bonds health insurance which compatible with their hospital so they felt keeping him alive could make them very rich and meanwhile an antibiotics company had just dumped their waste into the river making bonds wounds to not be infected . Then they enhanced his broken joints with metal and kept his uranium bullet so that bond could track it if he wished to. How about that
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Nobody: 11:08pm On Nov 23, 2013
Well if you ask me I think bond really did die and went to hell but when he saw that there were no martinees in hell he promised devil that if he was sent back he will send a hundred more souls back to the devil at least that's why he said his hobby was resurrection and that's why he aloud the bad guys kill innocent people before going jason bourne on the bad guy grin

undecided guys! Don't hurt your heads skyfail doesn't deserve it , there's no way 007 would have survived,let's push that question rather to the "intelligent" skyfall fans to answer best of luck guys tongue

Now my own question: bond is supposed to be old in skyfall right? Why does he become young all of a sudden after the lady shaves his beard? Now he can shoot he can run and he can do the pull ups with no stress and can even screw a prostitute half his age? grin

Well the answer to that question is VERY simple, DANIEL CRAIG CANNOT ACT! He can't distinguish between aging and frowning like he just sucked a dicckk so well blame all that on bad acting
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by kobosmart(m): 11:41pm On Nov 24, 2013

Answer to your question guess what? It is a freaking james bond movie not grey's anatomy it is what we have come to expect from james bond movies for 50 years you shd be used to it
James bond has survived a free off a plane with no parachute in moonraker
James bond has survived a 50 ft fall off a balloon in the world is not enough
James bond and survived a car crash three times in casino royale , goldfinger and licensed to kill
James bond has stayed under water with out an oxygen tank for hours in a view to a kill
James bond survived another free fall unto sharp rocks in quantum of solace
James bond has survived plane crashes in you only live twice and golden eye respectively

So if bond surviving the istanbul shooting in skyfall is actually your problem then I guess you aren't so familiar with bond movies afterall

So if bond surviving the istanbul shooting in skyfall is actually your problem then I guess you aren't so familiar with bond movies afterall

undecided I take it you never really watched those movies you just culled them up from wikkipedia or something anyway it is your thing
Moonraker: bond didn't free fall from the plane to the ground, he actually swiped a parachute from a villain on his way down and it wasn't CGI but real stunts to prove that it can really happen
TWINE: bond also didn't land on the floor he landed on a trampoline of course you saw how he rolled several times and broke his shoulder and chairman, the baloon was not 50ft away from the ground it was just taking off.
Casino royale: didn't bond end up unconscious and sent to a hospital
Goldfinger: bond also ended up unconscious
Licensed to kill: it was a truck and both bond and sanchez hopped off the truck before it crashed
Quantum of solace: bond and camille used a parachute and of course they both passed out when they hit the floor AND once again bros there weren't sharp rocks
A view to a kill:bond's car was shoved into a lake with bond in it and bond didn't survive without oxygen he was using the air from the car tyres to breath
Golden eye and you only live twice: are familiar with the word CRASH LANDING? Well that's how bond survived those two incidents

See? We don't expect to have our intelligence insulted in every bond movie ,I don't think it would have lasted for 50 years if it kept up with its fake stunts and lack of realism
At least the other incidents have bond escaping or getting injured but in skyfall there were no signs of injuries from the crash into water the only scar bond had was so only becos the story depended on that bond didn't even have a scar from monepenny's shot WTF?
And oh, try watching bond movies properly before lifting faults

Hehehe so you know that skyfall is unrealistic and fake so what then do you people now like about this movie
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 4:56pm On Nov 30, 2013
@E.apps I didn't say skyfall was unrealistic and please is that what you go to see @ the cinemas realism? Well I watch movies to be entertained. And I was well entertained by skyfall so different strokes I guess

@kobosmart please I am still waiting to know why quantum of solace is better than skyfall
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Eapps(f): 5:41pm On Nov 30, 2013
@magoo mtchew! So if I seat you down and start telling you that I can fly and grow plants on my head what you are trying to say is that as long as you are entertained by my lies I am a stellar person right? If you didn't think skyfall was unrealistic why not try explaining what happened to bond in istanbul simple.
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by kobosmart(m): 10:47pm On Nov 30, 2013
Quantum of solace is way better than skyfall why I say so?
1 TITLE: unlike skyfall, quantum of solace is a title you don't hear often it and it feels like something they really worked hard and thoughtfully on becos the title works solely with bond's character at the moment, the script and even rarely surprising the bond girl it describes bond's journey to discover redemption,
2. It is well narrated: also unlike skyfall QOS is not predictable and it has no contrivances that get you scratching your head and asking why that happened and why this didn't happen instead it practically takes you by the hand round the plot
3. The plot: which brings me to the plot, skyfall's plot is based on an old bond movie plot which is an outrage considering the fact that over 200million was used to fund this project, it is also highly irrelevant as right now cyber-terrorism is nothing but a myth it is also riddled with massive plotholes that are just too much to go unnoticed
QOS however is a fresh plot that practically ushered bond into the new era, it very much relevant and surprisingly has no plotholes
4.Casting: skyfalls casting was so boring and straight forward it was either your character is serious or your character was playful
Mallory: serious
M: serious
Bond: God knows what role he was playing
Moneypenny: playful
Silva: playful
Nothing spicy @all but QOS had it all
The depressed, the professionals, the serious, the playful, the cynics,the arrogant, the naïve and so on this not only made the movie versatile and realistic, it also made so many things happen in the movie that QOS might even be a bridge between the old bond and the new bonds
5. QOS even did casino royale. Certain favors
I. It covered casino royales plothole
II. It compensated for slowpace of casino royale
III. And it makes perfect reference to casino royale which absolutely taunts you to want to watch the casino royale movie
6.QOS obviously had more action scenes than skyfall and even casino royale plus the action scenes were also better which was not shying away from the truth, 007 adventures are action movies not james bond's diary
7. Characters: speaking of which QOS did a better expose on the characters
M: in skyfall was made out as some. Elected person which is not so for an intelligence director they are appointed not elected and she was made out as someone that her sex and age undermined her and reduced her working capabilities
But in quantum of solace M was more like a working class person with superiors , colleagues, work deadlines she was versatile with her office computers (unlike skyfall where she knowingly clicks on virus and acts like a f@#king grandma), her emotions and old-age made her more of an authoritative figure and she didn't need to shoot guns or blow light bulbs to prove she was a bull-dog, the scene where she threatened mr white with torture was classy as it was. Fearsome plus she wasn't in charge of NATO affairs SMH what was she doing with a NATO NOC list ? WTF
Bond: this is the break down of. The 00s, in fiction MI6. Has a 00 section, they are high ranking assassins, like navy SEALS they go after high profile targets like presidents,military generals,intelligence directors etc in QOS, his target was a utility services entrepreneur that makes puppets out of a whole country
He is not an sis retrieval officer as they made him in skyfall
Cyber terrorists are not 00's target it is rather. The job of a counter terrorist agent and bond was very intelligent,charismatic and sensitive in quantum of solace but in skyfall he was weak and had no direction he was just letting MI6 control him and he was SCOTTISH! WHAT? I know they wanted to go for a bruce wayne thing here but bond is scottish? Where is his accent? Where is his scottish taste in fashion?, why is he working with MI6 rather than scottish yard? Is james bond even a scottish name? Isn't that an english name?
7.Lessons: it is so rare that movies these days even send any messages which made me like QOS better than any bond movie. quantum of solace teaches that revenge isn't justice, teaches that you should stand for what you believe in, teaches that redemption only exists when you don't retreat. But what message does skyfall pass? "The old ways are the best"? To be misogynists and clowns right? Crap!
8.The villains: for the fact that quantum of solace brought back SPECTRE and they weren't as ridiculous as the last villains this time the members were used to make a statement to real life figures it was outstanding
They were really interesting villains too
1. Mr.white: the likely mordern day blofeld, middle man for quantum, good with weapons and quips and his opera joke was just wicked
II. Dominic greene: this guy overturned the whole of haiti, destroyed the whole of bolivia, caused a cold war between MI6 and the CIA , was a few steps close from destroying americas economy, he wasn't even shook when quantum refused to fund his water tierra project he simply went on with his plan and when it was time to give them up he didn't even fear giving up quantum
III general medrano: almost like greene's hench man, responsible for the bond girl's scars(literally),gave a good assss whooping at the climax and of course making bond regret his action of going head to head with his canoe
IV guy haines: shadowy member of the quantum organization and a personal advisor to the prime minister has a finger in many pies but leave no marks that description is just enough badassery
What made the villains really cool was that they were human as bond's frnd said with time you begin to stop understanding the villains from the heroes cos they get mixed up, so when you think about that weight dedicated to merely a subplot of the villains now compare them to the poorly sketched caricature villain like silva I don't even need to speak
9. Camera work: I enjoyed the movies cinematography better than skyfalls even tho they claim skyfall had "breath taking views and all, I still preferred that of quantum, the coloring was good and the location and pacing were excellent like the way every location bond went to always accustomed us to their culture like italy and the palo alto horse race and the austria tosca performance skyfall's location was so shitty they had to be at night and for a moment you can even mistake china for london
10 bond girls: hands down the bond girls in QOS were much much better than the bond girls in skyfall, they were even supposed to wear no make up and they were still hot their personalities were fresh and their acting was natural
Unlike berenice marlohe. And her terrible acting almost like she was just there for the sake of being there and the thing with the make-up WTF is she a clown or something?
so yeah quantum of solace is better than skyfall
Forgive my typos man I'm just losing it here
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by Nobody: 6:35am On Dec 01, 2013
When I think about quantum of solace I think art
- boat chase
-dog-fight
-tosca concert
-tuxedo claded assassins/bodyguards
-bond confessing his love for a bond girl openly to total strangers and after that dropping the last memory he had of her in the snow afterwards like one of those italian gangsters
-daniel craig almost as good as denzel
Haba! Respect na I don't even see that as a bond movie I see it as a movie about james bond that's well it stands out who gives a hoot about formula?
You can't compare that with skyfall na skyfall is like a mixture of abduction and tinker,taylor,soldier,spy.




Well with that said, my own question why is it that in the whole movie M isn't given the best of protection?
-when silva first attacked MI6 , she works home into her apartment with not a single bodyguard she was so vulnerable a drunk like bond cud break into her house
-her computer wasn't protected against malware becos hw was silva still able to send her another message? What if he blew up her house at that point?
-then when they found out that silva was heading over to the court room to kill her, they didn't even work on reinforcement or extra security Q just sat on his hands while bond chased after silva's SUV like a child
-then the ultimate bond,Q and mallory all voted on letting a failure like bond ALONE to isolate M and use her as bait in order to "protect her"
Why didn't anyone give a shiiit about M did they want her dead for some reason?
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by mrmagoo(m): 4:09pm On Dec 01, 2013
@kobosmart,@lanreajirobaju guys you are just talking long story if quantum of solace was anywhere as good as you are raving about, then why do I hate it? Why did roger ebert veteran film critic hate it too?
Quantum of solace is not only a stiupid and poor bond movie, it is also a poor movie as well
the movie title is very long and meaningless they just wanted to force the stiupid. Quantum cult in the title how uncreative, the villains? Did the movie even have a villain, it didn't have plot holes cos hey the movie never had a plot to begin with. Useless theme song alicia keys was just singing while everyone was dozing
Storyline hard to understand, irritating shaky camera effect
Abeg don't even go near skyfall with that rubbish if you want to be foools go ahead just stop trying to look smart.
Re: Why SKYFALL Sucked!! by kobosmart(m): 5:10pm On Dec 01, 2013
@mr.magoo. So just becos mr ebert hated QOS and you hate QOS automatically means it is a bad movie SMH
Did you even read mr. Ebert's review on QOS allow me to state his reasons for why the movie deserves a miss
A) the bond girls name was camille montes instead of pussygalore (I swear to God) however did he see the second bond girl her name was strawberry fields. So QOS did settle his name fetish
B) the bad guy's base was a warehouse in haiti(I am not making this up) well if he actually paid attention to the movie he would have noticed that the hotel pas de dunas in the bolivian desert also served as the evil guys lair he so wanted to see
C) A car chase that had nothing to do with the plot. To begin with in QOS, MI6 was out to seal their leaks and the car chase was a sign that yes bond's secret abduction was blown open and was the first sign that there really was a leak
D)bond didn't introduce himself as bond james bond.
E)bond didn't sleep with camille , dude it is a bond movie not a poorrn flick

Then you on the other hand decided to go on the internet and find the following complaints
A) shaky cam: ore mi welcome to the 21st century of movie making I can name 10 best raved about movies that had shaky cam effect: melancholia,safe house, bourne supremacy,green zone,dark knight,inception,24,world warZ,flight,united 93, captain phillips,the impossible even skyfall had some shaky cam in it see? Shaky cam and flash cut editing are part and parcel of modern cinema I didn't see anyone complain about those movies becos of shaky cam did you?
B) bad theme song: really? I hate to use the accolade advantage that QOS's soundtrack has over skyfall's but have you compared their lyrics, have you compared the relationship of both soundtracks to their respective plots, skyfall was dull, tasteless and they called adele of all ppl to do a shirley bassey ew! This is 2012 don't they know that?
Alicia keys joined her vodoo down south style with jack whites rough rock style and sang to a beat that kicked asss
C) storyline hard to follow: sorry bro the storyline is really deep and around us almost like an art movie its not like skyfall that if you sleep through out the first 2 hours you will still understand it but with QOS's dialogue carrying stuff like marxist, minimum wage,deforestation dude you are bound be fuuuccked up if you even blink.so that's your fault
D)movie title: don't make me laff so how exactly does skyfall fit into the movie plot or how is it creative it sounded like they were going for something like dark knight and had to settle for a transformers character name "skyfall"
E) No plot:hmmmn I. bond is out to investigate MI6's leak he also struggles with not making it personal as the organization he is investigating. Was responsible for vesper's suicide
II. M is in a cross road between pulling out from quantum investigation owing to pressure from her superiors or to continue with uncovering one of the most devastating breaches in spy history
III. Camile montes bond girl out for revenge on a bolivian exiled general as an attempt to solace. Considering her ever present traumas from her families murder and mutilation, she gave up everything her career, her heart just to put a bullet in the head of the general it was her shattered life. Which scared bond into retracting to duty and not revenge
IV. The villain quantum big shot targets unstable countries to control and rob them off their valuables he is bent on his biggest project yet which to monopolize the fresh water resources of bolivia and control south americas economy
E) did the movie have a villain?: my point exactly the villains in QOS were so human they didn't just flash out there that hey we are criminals but they were marched up in the villain/hero societal classification(politics stuff don't expect you to get it)
So please take your pick from the list of plots
So yeah! Quantum of solace is still better than shiiitfall
