i don't think QoS suffers from directing (although i must admit, i'm sick of these quick action cuts and fast paced camera. half the time i can't see what the f is going on onscreen!), but more on the writing.

How i can sum up the plot progression:

continue from CR -> put in a lot of characters and mix their relationship (oh he's good, eh no he's bad) -> at the hour and half mark, just show them what it's all about by making Bond sum it up in his dialogue (we all go OOHH I SEE IT NOW) -> finish.


the problem is, there's not ONE memorable scene/stand out scene. it's all boom-boom, blur there blur here, that's it. It's an okay movie for casual action fans, and those who enjoy explosions more than thinking why it happens.

Actually, I'm now confused if i saw a James Bond movie, or a James BOURNE movie.

EXACTLY my thoughts. It's just like Bourne. Identity was grounded, and fresh. Supremacy was boring and useless. Ultimatum was superb!

You know, funny thing is Martin Campbell really has a flair for Bond movies. so why the heck doesn't he continue other Bonds?

He did exactly the same for Brosnan with Goldeneye..made him the in thing and it was a pretty damn good Bond movie then..and he did it with CR.

Then you give it to Marc Forster and you get 3 parts Bourne, 1 part Bond, shaken with ice not stirred.

I vote George Lucas for Bond 23, and he will make Bond and co. in full CG and Bond will fight an evil tortoise with pigtails who farts and burps for laughs. It's all for the kiddies right?

p.s: just read ed's post. sorry for OT, but i just gave my non-spoiler review/opinion.

anyway, back to BD.


Let's all buy Dr. No on BD and check out how the original Bond was like.

morning mega!

hmm..been looking for the game here..so far no stocks yet. aiyoh.

hancock ada cun ka?

damn it..what luck. my hellboy 2 kena tahan with encik finas.

just sent a fax to them, letter to ask for exception, stating the 'pita' is for personal use.

first time kena. now hoping they luluskan fast enough. aiyaa

hi cat!

well, i think most of us here will definitely be buying TDK when it's released. I already have it in my pre-order.

I ordered for my friend as well, BUT if he decides not to buy it, i will probably let you know in case you haven't found a seller yet.

but still..no promises yea?

this one not kettam..this one encik syaFINAS.

haha true..but who knows..maybe your luck?

anyway..pre-ordered from amazon.

yeah i got that CS goodwill discount too when i wanted to place order this morning. amazon's customer service is truly getting better and better.

if only our beloved kettam and LPF have goodwill too.

ah sheeats...your hellboy 2 also kena? and here i thought it was a random check. but mine wasn't tax from kastam. it was from KHEDN, kawalan filem (LPF). cos DHL faxed me the customs papers to be faxed to LPF, and it clearly stated that "pengecualian bagi barangan bernilai bawah RM 500" or something like that.

and the paper i signed was for pengecualian permit, by agreeing the item was for personal use.

my shipments come in single items, so it would never be more than 200 anyway. so reeally hoping it's a random thing by LPF.

simonst, your hellboy 2 kena tahan as a single pack, or it was a bundle?

hopefully they don't keep this amazon hunting consistent mannn...i'm still waiting for 3 more shipments to come.

this is the time to get HANNAH MONTANA and CAMP ROCK!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMG *faint*

not considered tax...maybe processing fees. i dunno yet..i just got hold of LPF guys and they said it depends on the quantity, title and stuff.

so if i get pengecualian permit, that means i may have to pay processing fee. but leceh la..cos wait for their letter, then i have to fax to DHL..baru they can send it to me.

hopefully my other stuff tak kena random checking.

anyway...wow...tempted to buy wall E now..kung fu panda oso cun...wuiyoo...lobang!~
