It's easy to hate most plot driven movies out of Hollywood. The assembly line nature of Hollywood writers don't often allow for well written plots...

Prince of Persia
NOT BAD... liked it a lot. My only beef is what was up with all these British accents in mid-eastern setting movie? And the Princess looked way hotter than she did as Bond's red headed foil in Quantum of Solace. Those Hasassins were awesomely nasty. The action was top notch.
exactly what i thought. And yeah, she's definitely way hotter in this hair color. She was like that in Clash of the Titans.
and btw, quantom of solace, amazing movie. I was lucky to have seen it one day after watching casino royale for the first time. I was never a Bond guy and thus didn't see the latter in theaters. I really think seeing it the night before is what made me love quantom so much. I was amazed when i found out how many people didn't like it. I guess it truly is one of those situations where everyone has different tastes, because my tastebuds thought it was a flawless movie. weird how that can happen

This word .... I do not think it means what you think it means.
And I just saw it for the first time ever about 4 months ago. :)

Quote:A LOT of Bond fans disliked QoS for the same way they didn't like License to Kill. Too dark and too edgy. I'm sorry but I totally bought Bond's revenge mission and the movie played it out well.
Of Craig's two Bond's so far I think CR is a little better than QoS but both are solid efforts.
