Overly critical at first viewing?

Mr Slate - yes, that's hard to watch.

Ahhh...back on common ground! I like QOS too. Not as much as Craig's other two Bonds, but I certainly like QOS more than quite a few 70s and 80s era Bonds.

I'm just glad for the effort put into creating a new Bondian feast for our eyes! Criticisms usually come later after repeated viewings. But then I'm alone in liking Quantum of Solace!

While I understand this, let me just say that QOS POINTS AND SHOOTS and I found this lean, warp-speed film amazing despite its many and well documented flaws. -{

Despite not being quite as big a fan of QOS as you, I can see the appeal.

You are quite the diplomat, sir.
Wait. Washington? ARE you a diplomat???

Blackleiter

How dare you! Of course I'm not one of those weaselly Washington diplomats! I'm a lawyer! (No wait - that's worse!!! )

Lawyers are like Jedis- Good or Dark side.

That's an apt analogy, I suppose. I work in the area of financing for multifamily housing (mostly affordable multifamily housing). That should qualify as the "Good Side", right?

You employ The Force for the betterment of the innocent citizens of the Empire, surely. B-)

I like to think so! :007)

I often am critical in first viewing. Every Bond film is different. Some I loved at my first viewing, but didn't hold up in a 2nd. But there are other movies like Skyfall and Goldeneye which I hated at first but then was totally enamored by in my 2nd viewing. I guess it just depends on what I'm in the mood for and my overall mood.

I quite like that bit, it really highlights the sometimes horrible nature of Bond's job.
