I think "QOS" is softer because it shows a less cocky (in every sense of the word) Bond - one still dealing with the death of Vespa - there are also eco-issues, poverty and sexual abuse themes running through the film too which brings out a compassionate side to Bond. For all that though he's just as lethal to cross...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-85107000121210442972008-11-05T23:06:00.001+01:002008-11-05T23:06:00.001+01:00And I'd love to help myself to your nuts, but what...And I'd love to help myself to your nuts, but what would Karen say??Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-55801340550640332592008-11-05T23:06:00.000+01:002008-11-05T23:06:00.000+01:00Interesting that you say QOS is "softer" than "CR"...Interesting that you say QOS is "softer" than "CR" - I thought, QOS was meant to be the harder package - finar, finar.<BR/><BR/>May well take up your advice and go and see it on the big screen, then.

Mind, it only takes about a month or two after a movie's release for that to happen, these days!

Compared to Casino Royale, it is a slightly <I>softer</I> film... but I actually think it's more dense and compact. I've never been a huge Bond fan (except when I was a kid) but Craig's Bond doess make 007 essential viewing. And more than that it make seeing a Bond film "an occasion" which is something they lost during the Moore years. I think the Bourne films have certainly made the Bond producers up their game but it shows in the photography and composition more than the plot. Old Bond locations had an everywhere and anywhere feel whereas the current outings manage to conjure flavours of places and evocations (if that makes sense). It's definitely worth seeing on the big screen, OC!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-66055524323872849412008-11-01T19:13:00.000+01:002008-11-01T19:13:00.000+01:00Hi SteveLong time no speak.

Martini, shaken not stirred, please!<BR/><BR/>Blimey no white pussy in this movie then? Ahem. I read your review (incisive as always!) with interest - you make "QOS" sound worth seeing, for sure. I've recently read a few less than glowing reviews which said that "QOS" was adequate but not up to that much - very action-based with nothing much else going on. Also interesting that you mention the "Bourne" movies as that's what it was compared to. <BR/><BR/>I do like the idea of the continuity that you mention though (which we never really got in previous Bond films, save for the return of villains like Jaws) and given what happened with Vespa at the end of the last film it's no wonder old JB is feeling a tad p*ssed off. <BR/><BR/>Might still wait for it to come out on DVD before seeing it though...Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-29832283590801425452008-11-01T16:24:00.000+01:002008-11-01T16:24:00.000+01:00You won't be.
