Quantum Of Solace Tops Weekend Box Office Despite Silly Name
It may have zero dialogue, an impenetrable plot and a man who is James Bond in name alone, but people love Quantum Of Solace. Quantum Of Solace isn't just the number one movie at the weekend box office this week. In fact, Quantum Of Solace is the biggest James Bond movie ever to open at the US weekend box office, taking $70 million in the process. And that proves one thing about Quantum Of Solace above anything else - people really, really like the Bourne movies. But, hey, Quantum Of Solace features a James Bond who's dispensed with the wit, style and panache that we're used to seeing to become a scowling robot whose job mainly seems to involve driving speedboats through explosions and punching Frenchmen. And that's popular in America. Who knew?

Roger Moore Gets All Stroppy About Punchy New James Bond
You knew what you got when Roger Moore was James Bond - safari jackets, volcano HQs and women called Felicity Nobgobbler. Not any more, though. Daniel Craig is James Bond now, so that means that when you watch a James Bond film you're essentially getting whatever happened in the last Bourne movie, but without any of the interesting bits about amnesia. And this has upset Roger Moore. Moore says he's saddened by all the flashy violence in the new Daniel Craig James Bond movies, and he wishes that 007 films could be more like the ones he made. The thing is, he's got a point - we know we'd have enjoyed Quantum Of Solace quite a lot more if all the parkour scenes starred a wheezy old man in a corset who looks like he smells of urine-soaked leather instead of Daniel Craig.

12 Worst Bond Baddies
Some Bond baddies really shouldn't have bothered getting out bed. They have all these crazy ideas of world domination, but are barely fit to tie their own shoelaces without help. Plus the fact they are up against James Bond, a guy who could find a way of decapitating you with just a dessert spoon. Well, inspired by that pointless bug-eyed Frenchman from Quantum Of Solace, Hecklerspray has come up with a list of the worst offenders – and what a sorry bunch they are! To make it interesting, we have decided to include the henchmen who have tried their luck against 007, as well as the main villains. Enjoy.

Early Reviews: Quantum Of Solace? Quantum Of Bum
New James Bond movie Quantum Of Solace faces an almost impossible task - could it be more well-received than Casino Royale? It's a tough job - because, as we all know, films don't get any better than overlong Bourne rip-offs about a man who cries blood when he's losing at cards - and it seems like it might have been too much of a tough job for Quantum Of Solace. Early reviews for Quantum of Solace are starting to trickle in, and they're all fairly scathing. But James Bond movies always tend to be a direct reaction against the previous one, so we can all relax. The follow-up to the emotionally bleak Quantum Of Solace - provisionally entitled Daniel Craig Punches A Laser-Shark In His Little Knickers - is sure to be a belter.

Daniel Craig Loves All The Abuse. Loves It
Currently appearing as 007 in Quantum of Solace, which by most accounts is exciting but about as much fun as a Schindler's List theme park, Daniel Craig has taken time out to praise a new generation of Bond women. Women who will tell him to "f**k off" if he misbehaves. That's right, "f**k off", it's Slovakian. Daniel Craig isn't exactly renowned for his song and dance demeanour. He's a serious actor and questions about his teeny shorts in Casino Royale or why he wore a lifejacket to avoid drowning three years ago are bound to annoy him. Plus if he decided to chase us over a building site we'd make it about as far as the Portakabin before going into cardiac arrest. We're gonna just stick to the new movie instead.
