Pretty simple, really: not really a thread for comments, more just to answer the questions above.

NB you can vote in each of the three sections, or not really bother because it's of questionable validity and purpose anyway.

My Dear Bryce, I was under the impression that you were going to the premiere, along with Athena and Stromberg. I also thought that you booked your tickets for the screening afterwards? I pressume this fell through? :(

For us poor bastards who have to wait until Nov 14 and desperately want to see the poll results, can someone who's already voted kindly provide a summary of sorts?

I prefer QOS to CR.

It's in my Top Three. Or I'll be very surprised if it isn't. The only thing that stopped me putting it as Number 1 is I need to see it stand the test of time.

I gave it a 9. But I hovered over 10 for a very long time. Again, the only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because I believe in keeping something in abeyance.

In summary - most people like it the same as CR. Most people have it in their top 3. And most people have given it an 8. So far.

I rate it 8/10. For the moment, I love CR and QoS equally, let's see how it settles. As for the ranking in relation to all Bond films, it's clearly in the top list for me, but to be more precise I voted "too early".

:(

Top response for each category is as following:

"I prefer CR"
"It's in my top three"
"8"

Yeah, I cast a null vote just so I could see the results. Didn't realise it meant I couldn't vote at all.

Fairly similar to the status quo then:
  • I prefer CASINO ROYALE to QUANTUM OF SOLACE
  • It's in my top ten
  • 8 out of 10

Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale are my joint 3rd fave BOND films ( Living Daylights and Goldfinger comming before them )
I gave it 8.5 out of 10 ( but rounded up is 9/10 :( )
read my review for the fans which consists of my thoughts on the title sequence, the gunbarrel and the action :) : http://debrief.comma...mp;#entry946289

I prefer QoS

It's in my top 3 (TB, FRWL, QoS)

9/10

Bloody fantastic movie that is evidently misunderstood. So called fans of Bond who hate this movie or seriously dislike it are way too uptight.

It's nice to see that over 60% so far give it a 8 or above. Makes me more anxious than ever to see it.

I seriously disliked it and I wouldn't say I'm an 'uptight' Bond fan. For example I love Casino Royale and still enjoy Die Another Day, or the first two thirds of it. I have no problem with the filmmakers tring different things with Bond. But Quantum Of Solace is often just plain inept in my opinion.

Quantum is a radically different interpretation of Bond on screen, and just now we can only speculate how it’s going to influence the future direction of the series. This isn’t a switch your brain off action movie. If you’re not paying attention, Quantum takes off without you. I don’t think there’s been a Bond before that demanded as much from its audience. So Casino is always going to be the easier film to like. It safer in many ways; more traditional.

As with OHMSS before it, Quantum may have to wait to be appreciated. But it’s time will come.

Once again, for those of us who have to wait until the 14th to vote...can someone kindly provide us with some colour as to where the bulk of the answers are coming in?

Thanks in advance.

Currently, the leading choices in his each section coincide with my own selections, suggesting that I am a distinctly average Bond fan...

  • I prefer CASINO ROYALE to QUANTUM OF SOLACE (39%)
  • It's in my top ten (31%)
  • 8 out of 10 (28%)
Just to note, 76% give the movie 7 out of 10, or higher.
