6. Quantum Of Solace
The titles of James Bond films and by extension, the novels, have always been one of extravagance and thin relation to the plot. As long as the title sounds catchy and cool, then you have a winner. Bonus points if that title is also used for the theme song lyrics. Bond films don't really need to be concerned with the title anyways. All the marketing has to do is mention "James Bond" or "007" and potential viewers are already interested. The titles are at least tied to the plot in some way, whether they are important settings in the plot (Skyfall, Casino Royale, Moonraker) or a line uttered (Die Another Day, The Man with the Golden Gun, The World is Not Enough) or the name of the nemesis (Dr. No, Goldfinger, Octopussy). An exception seemed to have been made with Daniel Craig's second outing as Bond in Quantum of Solace. The whole title has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever. Sure, at the end the big bad guy organization was revealed to be named "Quantum," but that's just half the title and feels tacked on the the sake of the title making a least a little bit of sense. What's more, Bond film titles are supposed to be catchy, roll right out of the tongue or can be said with an air of dangerous sophistication. They're supposed to be easy to swallow, like a glass of shaken martini. Qualities of which the title is not.
