I'm a little concerned about the number of crash-bang-wallop scenes in the upcoming Quantum of Solace. After multiple viewings and careful analysis, I was able to extract the following from the two trailers:
1. A gun fight in an olden-style building
2. A knife fight in a hotel room
3. A regular fight in a lift
4. Bond ramping a motorbike onto a boat
5. Bond running over rooftops
6. Bond driving a different boat
7. Bond running over different rooftops
8. Bond flying a plane that is getting shot up
9. Bond driving a car that is getting shot up
10. A clearly CGI-Bond plummeting through a glass roof after a rooftop fight seemingly goes awry.
11. Bond dangling from and spinning on a rope whilst grabbing a gun and flipping right side up to shoot a guy above him who is about to shoot Bond
It just seems that, unless these scenes are very short, the majority of the film takes place in a vehicle or brutal fight or on a roof. What was great about Casino Royale was the pacing; the talking and tension-building/boring gambling parts broken up nicely by crazy action.
This seems like 100% crazy action.
I'm sure it'll be good and I'll still enjoy it, but it's best to steel myself for dissapointment.
Steel? Steal?

"Casino Royale" had good bits? Bwah?
What? It was more "Die Hard" than bond! The only gadget he got was an electromagnet.
