Last night I saw QoS here in Lisbon - Portugal. I went with 10 fellow friends. I absolutely love the film. My friends' reaction was stupendous and they’re definitely not James Bond fans - they’re very sceptical and critical persons (it was my job to convince them to join me at the 007 premiere!). During the film they were saying "WOW" and "AHH"… which was odd, but very nice. Mr. Bond still manages to thrill and impress an audience. The public definitely left the theatre very pleased. I think it’ll be a hit here in Portugal. All my coleagues at work are saying they're planning to see this film during the weekend. It’s a very different film compared to Casino Royale. First of all, they’re not even comparable objects, being the first a more delicate, old-fashioned, old-school thriller. Quantum is a superb action movie but it’s also an art-house film. I absolutelly love the way it was directed, edited, photographed… The special effects were outstanding. Top notch art design kept me remembering Ken Adam. I congratulate David Arnold since all my friends left the theatre singing the action tune rather the title song!

It's amazing that someone managed to remember a single action tune from this score... out of the 14-15 different actionthemes he used through the film.

So, I'm not the only one campaigning for the film among my friends!

The music in the theatre where we manage to see QOS was incredible loud and the action tune was a reconizable one... Listen to Target Terminated or Time To get Out or Pursuit at Port au Prince.

I didn't lobby... I just organized a night at the cinema with a couple of friends (10 guys and girls) :( LOL
