Judging A Movie By Its Trailer: Quantum Of Solace
June 30th, 2008 by NextRound
The first trailer for the Quantum of Solace has hit the world wide web and being the Bond aficionados we are we’re compelled to treat it to it’s own JAMBIT session.
What We Know:
- QoS picks up pretty much exactly where Casino Royale left off.
- Everyone who matters and didn’t die in the previous film is back for this one, including the way underrated Jeffrey Wright.
- Bobsledding is the only manner of transportation the director decided not to use in an action scene.
- Daniel Craig in his prime would kick the shit out of every other Bond in their prime, sans Connery. And don’t give us any of that, “Timothy Dalton was a mean m-fer” jazz.
- Anyone who says they aren’t motivated by revenge is motivated by revenge. Classic denial technique.
- You deserve to take a bullet if you get shot by a guy hanging upside down.
What We Can Guess:
- Bond is going to kill a lot of GD people.
- The Odd Job cameo we’ve been pining for isn’t going to happen.
- 007 will get laid.
- Kim Kardashian will never have anything to do with a Bond film.
- We probably have what it takes to be a secret agent.
What’s Unclear:
- How long they’re going to milk the melancholy. If Bond stays broken up about the chick who died in Casino Royale for longer than fifteen minutes we’re calling bullshit.
- Whether the guy who directed Monster’s Ball (one of the top five all-time depressing movies) is capable of directing a Bond flick.
- Whether Daniel Craig regrets being in A Kid in King Arthur’s Court.
- Whether JB is going to finally suck it up an bang Judi Dench. And by “JB”, we mean Team C&T’s JB. And by “Judi Dench”, we mean the elderly British admin in his office that he likes to pretend sends him on top secret missions.
- How much distance we could clear on a dirt bike.
Somewhere around twenty cars is our best guess.

I don’t know, looks kind of boring if you ask me.
