Already bought tickets online and am going almost an hour before the start time so I don't get stuck up front.

Can't wait!

Very good Bond flick, better than the last two, IMHO. Bardem is a great villain.

Second one was forgettable in my opinion.

I want to see this 3rd one.

The writers' strike hit during production and halting production wasn't really an option.

On “Quantum”, we were fucked.] We had the bare bones of a script and then there was a writers’ strike and there was nothing we could do. We couldn’t employ a writer to finish it. I say to myself, “Never again”, but who knows? There was me trying to rewrite scenes – and a writer I am not.’ -Daniel Craig - interview with Time Out London

This one looks like a good one. Much like Casino Royale, a good film in its own right, not just a good Bond film. Rotten Tomatoes ratings (reviewers' / audience):

Casino Royale: 95% / 87%
Skyfall: 93% / 91%
Quantum of Solace: 64% / 62%

I really like Craig as Bond and the villain is supposedly fantastic. Great villains make great Bond films. Think I'll go see this one in the theater.

but a great villain can save even a pedestrian Bond film. Viz, Christopher Walken's completely insane and utterly fantastic Max Zorin in "A View To A Kill."

The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous. There is a fight scene in a Shanghai office building against the neon displays of downtown that is just breathtaking, and other scenes that actually had me whispering, "Wow".

Best Bond movie since Goldfinger, IMHO.

.....as "M", I'm there! I've been a big fan since "As Time Goes By".

you may not like the next bond movie.

It was much better than the 2nd. I think I still liked the first one better.

Javier Bardeem did an excellent job, and his villain was the weakest part of the film. Kinda cartoony. As good as Casino Royale.

and here's my favorite all time quartermaster:

but I still miss Desmond...



Played Q in 17 films. Last appearance was in TWINE:

the new guy seems a much better fit for the franchise.

with him as Q, the franchise was beginning to head back into Roger Moore era campy silliness.

loved it. Well worth the cash for the big screen and sound.


There was a group of guys behind us and one of them must have gotten up 10 times for various trips to the snack bar and bathroom and who knows. I couldn't help but laugh after the movie was over as he began to tell his friends how he was disappointed in this one because stuff didn't make sense. They asked him how he thought that and it turns out every time he was gone, something important happened.

Well duh, dumbass.

It was funny as his friends kept explaining what he missed and he'd be all "ohhhhhhhh..."

And I call him a dumbass more because he kicked the back of my seat every damn time he got up. These were grown men too. Not kids or even young men.

But other than a dumbass behind me for part of the movie it was great.
