|  Quantum of Solace Caught this last night. One word: Garbage. Didn't feel like a Bond movie, more like Bond Supremacy. No gadgets, the Bond charisma wasn't there and movie felt incomplete. Worth seeing: Yes.... Worth seeing as a Bond film: No... |

| So more like a run of the mill action movie? I had thought about seeing this maybe just wait for BR DVD. |

| I'm going to watch this one tonight with my wife and friends. Weird, I've talked to a lot of people who liked the movie so far.

| I haven't seen it yet but I doubt it's garbage. Maybe it has a different feel to it than Casino Royale because of the different directors. |

| It was enjoyable. Casino Royale is definitely the better of the two movies, but I agree with the Bond Supremacy comment by Robert Ebert. This movie just lacked the depth of Casino Royale and the menacing antagonist. This movie's antagonist was a pussy. It's a bit over the top from every aspect also. Those are my major complaints. Aside from those, I really enjoyed the action sequences and the chases however outlandish they might've been. It was cool, though. They showed a trailer for the upcoming movie, "Angels & Demons" which I am really excited about. I think "Angels & Demons" is a better story overall compared to "The Da Vinci Code".

| Gisky, you were right. A lot of websites are comparing Bond to Bourne. Here is a review from the HD Room making comparisons.. Quote:

| I just saw this new James Bourne movie this afternoon. It was pretty good but I kept thinking I had seen some of the stunts before. Where could that have been, hmm...
