>>70589955
Because they are plebs.

I think it mostly had to do with the editing. The average shot length was something like 3 seconds, which makes it difficult to understand whats going on, especially on a first viewing. But, after watching it 3 times, it's a pretty straight forward revenge movie.

I think spectre actually made quantum better.

It's objectively better than Plebfall

>>70590504
Spectre was so damn boring. I texted the whole time during that lame ass movie. The only good part was Bond vs Batista.

You better not text at a cinema you fucking fucker fuck

I don't know. Totally underrated. The villain could have been better, but it was still a great movie.

>>70590616
I don't have adhd the movie was shit. Literally the worse Bond film in years with an even more retarded villain. That faggot deserved to lose for how stupid he was. He was Saturday morning cartoon tier.
>>70590622
Fuck off I watched this shit flick in my living room. Even if I was at the cinema who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
>>
>>70590649
The Tosca scene is my favorite scene in any Bond film.
>>
>>70590718
Because it's fucking annoying to be at the cinema with imbeciles blinding you with their mobiles.

Quantum is a film that makes little to no sense, with terrible characters, and a plot twist so awful it makes me think M Night Shymalan was directing it.

>the film starts out two horribly edited chase sequences
>the car chase cuts erratically making the audience's sense of space impossible to comprehend
>the foot chase is shit, partially because they weren't allowed to fire any guns, but also because it needlessly cuts to a bull fight or something for no fucking reason
>Bond walks into a hotel room and kills a guy, the lady at the front desk mistakes him for the assassin and gives him a breifcase with important plot details (that's convenient)
>Bond leaves the hotel and the Quantum Bond girl offers him a ride because she also mistakes him (that's convenient)
>the Bond girl tries to kill Bond from point blank and completely misses (that's convenient)
>rather than try to shoot him again she lets him get out of the car and drives away (that's convenient)
>then another guy shows up and gives Bond a motorcycle so he can chase after her (that's convenient)
>the girl just so happens to lead him to the villain Greene (that's convenient)
what happens after that I don't know, but it involves:
>the opera scene, which may be the best scene in the film, but succumbs to the same shitty editing as every other scene, with needless cuts of the opera going on during the fight
>Strawberry Fields arrives, has sex with Bond, and dies in about ten minutes. She's pointlessly covered in oil as a call back to Goldfinger, even though Greene's plot is monopolizing water, not oil.
>also Mathis dies, but not before grinding the entire fucking movie to a halt twice. Does he have any bearing on the plot at all, anyway?

tl;dr: pretentious as fuck director and an unfinished script resulted in a terrible Bond film.

DUDE 12 CAMERA CUTS IN A SECOND LMAO
>>
>>70589955
For reasons that people aren't used to consciously identifying or articulating, because it's everything to do with how the film is constructed, the all-encompassing narrative.
>>
>>70589955
It was a bit too attached to the last one and it needed an extra 10-15 minutes to kind of let the plot "breathe" some. A good re-edit may even fix it.
>>
>>70590167
It's much less than 3 seconds. Even Nolan films are edited with average shot of 1-2 seconds.
>>
>>70592155
everything makes perfect sense in it, pleb.
>>
>>70589955
you didn't get to see enough of strawberry
and her dead looked great on scene, but like >>70592155 said, why drown her in oil if the whole thing was about water
the part where they kill the guy with motor oil was great as well, it mkes be question whether the whole water plot was meant to be about oil originally

the shot length was much, much too short
you lost a lot of the value of the locations because you only got three second glimpses of them

it paled in comparison to casino royale

the opera sequence was great though
>>
>>70592155
Spectre was worse. If only because people said it was good.

Thanks to the writer's strike they made a movie with a half finished script and it really shows.

This. It's actually amazing that it's watchable at all.
