I reviewed QoS when it came out here on AJB...so that's walking and talking mastered
No no no, I'm talking about doing a video review, a la Siskel & Ebert, The Nostalgia Critic, etc. When you do that, I'll actually care about your opinion regarding my "Embarrassing video review"
And it should read "what QUANTUM are" NOT "is" ....and you complain about a typo
ROFL!!! All right, you're screwing with me right?
QUANTUM is singular. It is an organization like SPECTRE, right? "What (the organization) is," is the correct grammar. "What (the organization) are," makes no sense. Now if you were to use a plural preceding noun such as "Members of QUANTUM are," then that would make sense.
Seriously dude, you really need to learn proper grammar.
And didn't bother to look at the links I placed on here.
Okay long story short, although I'm still convinced you're just screwing with me and actually know who he is, Roger Ebert is a Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago film critic who used to have a review show called SISKEL & EBERT (with Gene Siskel). He's one of the most famous and respected critics in the world... and yes, he thought QUANTUM OF SOLACE sucked.

No...I didn't check the links...as I clearly said...I've no idea whom he is...and no interest in finding out...and well done for him if he thought so...I'm sure he didn't rely on lame-arse 'jokes' to put his reasons as to why he thought so.
This thread has become like the fencing match in Die Another Day, but I'd love to see links to any further video reviews of the same ilk.
Looking at Lordofthejimmy's praise of GE, it's interesting to see again that, as in the recent book 'Chasing Bullets', it's a case of one's first Bond movie remaining a favourite (even though any claim on its behalf to be the best on 'objective' grounds would soon find itself disputed).
As for QOS, I'd go along with most of Lordofthejimmy's criticisms. Having said that, I've made a hobby of finding virtue in the least well regarded Bond pictures. I've watched DAF and TMWTGG more than any of the others, frequently return to DAD and AVTAK, and I was delighted when LTK, after its lukewarm initial reception even by fandom, began to enjoy 'rehabilitation' in fan opinion.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.
Just rewatched QoS, There is a good bond film idea in it, but it didn't show up on film.
If you switch on your personal prejudice suppressor field, you'll find it quite enjoyable I think. )
Don't get me wrong, there was good points, and i Don't feel like I wasted my time rewatching it, and there are some very good things about the film (The Opera House, Olga Kurylenko, The fight in the hotel room are all top notch) But the film is still a mess. Though I suspect that when i finish reviewing all the bond films it will be better then last place that it currently resides.
I thoroughly HATED it when I first saw it; I thought it was actually okay the second time; I flat out enjoyed the hell out of it last week.
It's my favourite of Craig's three now for its ferocious simplicity and killer pace.

"Its ferocious simplicity and killer pace" - a simplicity despite moments of audience disorientation (particularly during a first viewing) as to what's actually going on - are virtues which likely will guarantee that QOS always has its staunch supporters.
And yes, favorite, not favorite is relative. I wonder if I had been born earlier and grew up watching Timothy Dalton how much I would have liked GOLDENEYE...

And here's his review of QUANTUM:

And his contact information, so you can email him and tell him to get his facts right.

Nope...no idea whom Ebert is/was/ever will be...
And whom said I cared about your review..?..I just said it was childish and embarrassing...but if you find it ok...go knock yourself out...
Oh...."learn proper grammar" - now THAT'S funny

So much for you being finished with this....

Hitler, Bin Laden, and Moddona are in a elevator, and you have two bullets.
Hitler and Bin Laden live, you gotta double tap. B-)
And that's the nadir in a bad Bond film

Actually it's one of my favourite sequences in any Brosnan Bond movie. :-)

Heads up, DR. NO is next!
