QOS ,agree not the best,but certainly not the worst either,i love the boat chase scene , the noise from my Bose system ,goes right through me .QOS has some of the most talked about clothing ,here on AJB. Certainly in my top 5 .
By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

QoS is clearly Craig's weakest entry. The film has some strong points: everything involving hotels, the clock tower fight and the opera sequence come to mind. But there are too many weak links: the title song, the editing and some of the filming and probably the worst henchman in the history of Bond. The villan is interesting, but not threatning enough. He gets two really good monologues, though. It looks to me as the director must take much of the blame. Editing and photography are done by the editor and DoP, but the director supervices them and it feels like he has given them the wrong guidelines. Too often it feels like a failed Bourne copy. It's not a horrible film. I watch it from time to time, but it is weak Bond movie

We will try to change your mind on Quantum..
1. For Your Eyes Only 2. The Living Daylights 3 From Russia with Love 4. Casino Royale 5. OHMSS 6. Skyfall
QoS is a much misunderstood film...it will rise through the ranks of fans favourite films just as OHMSS did...I still would have preferred another rewrite of the script and extra 30 mins added...but it's pretty damn fine as it is -{

I suspect I like QOS a bit more than you do, but I am in general agreement with most of your points.

I went to see QOS 7 days in a row when it came out. total about 15 times at the theatre! it just a fast paced feel good bond romp! this might blow your minds (and shouldn't say it since I am new here) but here goes...I have not watched any other bond film beginning to end since DC did CR! can't and won't DC is the only bond for me!
I don't get the hate on "Another Way To Die". It's in my top 5 favourite Bond songs for sure, I'm just always so surprised at the amount of dislike it gets.

I really don't like it. A poorly written and produced song in my opinion and at times they just sound like they're shouting at each other! But.. each to their own. One man's fave is another man's worst and all that. At the end of the day it's still Bond so I love to hate it!

Excellent. We just need a Tambourinist then. Thunderpussy...???
But what I lack in skill, I make up with a wild sexual performance. !
I once did a drunken version of Phill Collins, marvellous tarantella , I was black and blue for days
I'm with you. I think QOS is fine, but certainly not the best Bond film. Not even top 5 in my opinion.
No you can't ! You are both barred for a comment like that X-(
And why have a "half decent title song" when we already have the fabulous Another Way To Die ?:)
As for the film itself, it is ok but just doesn't really feel like a bond film.

I did indeed...I brought it for you so you could listen to Another Way To Die properly
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

QoS has no henchman ?:)
If you think Elvis is a henchman then I think you may need to watch the film again as I think you missed it... -{
You're right. I didn't realize it at first, but Elvis is more of a "social secretary" than a henchman.

Yes, he would need a little less conversation, a little more action to qualify. ;%

Also has Jonathan Pryce as Cardinal Wolsey. Makes you wonder who made him ham it up in TND?
