Worst moment in Quantum of Solace?

What was the worst moment in Quantum of Solace? Choose some moments other than the obvious abysmal parachute jump.

What about when Craig flipped that motorcycle up in the air? Groan inducing stuff. The 'stationary' line. The incomprehensible car chase. The Goldfinger homage. I only saw it once back in november and I've managed to blank much of it from my memory.

Definitely the Goldfinger homage.

The cheesy Police Squad-style freeze-frame before the opening credits.

My worst moment is the beginning, the middle, the end and everything else in between lol

The action sequences, the acting, the editing bloody -hell!!!! There is nothing redemable about this film. What were those Star Trek type tables!!! I half expected Patrick Stewart to walk in a say warp one engage!! lol

When Bond ripped the door handle off. What was that all about?

All of it but the mediocre credit sequence and worst Bond theme in the history of the franchise takes some beating. Good work Eon.

The dancing women in the titles weren't as cheesy as I thought they were going to be.I know how some people loved them from the titles from the old films,but they're tacky.

Oh and Bond breaking off the door handle was definitely WTF?!?

That didn't bother me. It was quick way to show how Bond could lock the guy in. There are far many worse faults in QoS than this scene.

Craig, plain and simple.

The car chase sucked. Flipping the dirtbike and the parachute jump were worse though.

I found the manner in which Craig ripped off the door handle laughable - he stood there trying to look tough after doing it. Also, could he rip off a door handle? Isn't that as silly as Jaws chewing through the cable car cable?

He did his "tough act" in another scene (you mentioned it Omega!) where he flipped over that motorbike.

The final scenes when Craig was wearing those leather gloves and that trenchcoat. Commander Bond? More like Lieutenant Columbo.

I can just picture it in Bond 23:

Bond: "Oh, and one more thing..."

I actually don't agree this time. Whilst Craig was the single worst thing about CR, with the reboot idea a close second, there was so much else wrong with QOS that Craig was just one ingredient in the s**t sandwich.

That's a good summing up of the Craig Bond era.

Even if you liked Daniel Craig you'd have to admit he didn't have a lot to do in that film apart from smash through windows and run. Eon should consider a stuntman as the next Bond if they continue down this narrow path.

QOs is this franchise's Hulk. They have to come back with something better good as Incredible HUlk was to Hulk to save the frachise.
A new actor director and producers will help once they get back what to what it was that made the first bonds charming

Don't get your hopes up.With the current regime in charge of the Bond films sticking around for the forseeable future, I don't see that happening.
