i agree. but Calvin Lockhart should've been the first and perhaps the only black James Bond!

I totally agree! Martin Campbell was one bad ass director when it came to James bond He should be the permanent director so they can keep pumping out great bond movies like Casino Royale. In casino Royale I never felt out of the action but in Quantum the new director was easily seen to be insuperior to Martin Campbell's superb directing which made such a great movie. Please let Martin Campbell see this so he can seriously be the permanent director he is the best Bond Director ever he must come back

i think martin campbell is the best james bond director ever! i like his other films as well. i think he should direct the remake of Masada-the story of the last stand between the zealots against the roman empire.

I totally agree about Martin Campbell being the best bond director. Goldeneye was always my favorite bond film, and to find out that he was directing Casino Royale….well, i was just too excited! Casino Royale i think topped Goldeneye in terms of action. My favorite scene in the whole film was the free-running chase in the beginning of the film. It was fast-paced, drew you in quickly and when they’re fighting on top of that crane, i just couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. He favors wide panning shots of the environment around the action. When they’re fighting, you can see what they’re doing and also see…that they’re incredibly high off the ground!!! this was also seen in Goldeneye during the Cradle scene at the end. Wide shots to show how extreme the environments are. And not to critique Nolan’s directing style of Batman, but it is really difficult to see what is going on when he is fighting….I personally am not a fan of the chose-up choppy shots. I remember seeing the Bourne Supremacy and wanted to vomit because there were too many close-up shots of Matt Damon…But all in all, i think Campbell is a great director and is perfect for directing bond films!

I’m sorry to disappoint you but the chaos in the action scenes almost ruins the whole movie. Other thing wrong here is the story. In the middle of all this action you feel like somewhere they missed the point.
I’ve seen QoS last Friday here in Brazil and, like you, I pray for the return of Campbell

I kinda disagree. Whilst the fight scenes at times were a bit chaotic, it was the chaos in them that made them great. My only problem with the new Bond film is the opening car chase. Not because its hard to follow, but because there are so many times when the bad guy’s miss such a golden chance to kill bond but couldn’t fire a shot any better than a stormtrooper. I know its commonplace in movies for this to happen, but in Bond, they way it happened just slightly annoyed me.
