My opinion is exactly the same...I felt like I was about to have a seizure lol...and yes it's a good movie but not a classic bond movie at all...hopefully the next will be a little more traditional.
Cyan:
I enjoyed it and recommend it, however ...
Spoiler for Hiden: It kind of seemed like they were tying up too many loose ends from casino royale that it can not stand on it's own, not that i will mind watching them as a kind of two part movie. Hopefully now they feel they have layed down enough of a base to make the others a little less intertwined.
If you have not seen quantum of solace yet, you should watch casino royale again before you go.

Loved it. I agree with the shaky cam thing, my eyes can't track that fast, especially on a big screen. Fortunately it was mostly confined to the car chase in the beginning, the rest wasn't so bad.
The new bond movies kinda remind me of batman, they are taking it in a bit of a different direction, but they do it so well its hard not to like it. The rougher bond is a nice change, it brings a touch of realism/believability to it I think.

Two things not even supposed to be touched on by a "bond" scenario. But i agree, its hard not to like it, and the traditional bond films had run their epic course, they didnt have much left, as die another day shown.
Still, i saw a link ryan showed me which said this is the "perfect" bond film, i kinda think it should just be called "a bond film" and that would be credit enough.
Campbell is my favourite bond director, afterall he gave us goldeneye as well as the revamped bond casino royale. so im reserved on this new director and will see the quantum of solace on DVD on my 50 inch. When martin campbell left the older revamping, each following movie got less classy than his. It'll be interesting.

they almost had to do that, because culturally bond was becoming almost a cliche and parody of himself. this direction allows us to humanize him a bit more. Bond can get hurt, stabbed shot and beaten up now.
the new movie was pretty cool, but for some reason directors now think that shaky cam ='s fight scene choreography which is total bullshit. its like dude i want to see a fight scene... fucking show it don't just shake the camera and blair witch/Bourne me.
did anyone notice in the credits what Fields first name was? i thought it was rather fitting for her haha.
