I'm very happy with the movie and I just don't get why some people are trashing it.

A few extra thoughts on QOS...the moments I really dug:

Bond taking the motorbike away from the assassin(?).

The fall into the art gallery

The final shot in the art gallery

The brutal fight with Slate

The opera house...now that reminded my of ASWLM's giza stuff/Living Daylights-just ooozed Bond's world.

The opening shot of the lake/mountain-just beautiful!

the villa visit with Mathis

"time to get out"

The resolution scene in russia and "I never left"

The escape from the elevator

"I don't give a *&@% about the CIA...he's my agent"

Craig's suits: He looks more dashing in the new tailoring; it just works better for his frame and makes him look taller, more like Bond. Brioni suited Brosnan's physique-ie ideal for tall,skinny model types.

Go Tarl!

QoS is the deepest Bond film yet. The deep end just scares some people.

I think there's some real truth in that.

I saw it again today. It really holds up well and is easier to follow once that first time viewing excitement is passed. I loved the opera stuff and musical/sound choices they made. It is indeed an artsy Bond film.

The parachute scene works better the second time around.

The film has excellent dialogue. I loved the chase at the start. I really love this movie reel to reel. It's about as close to perfect as I could hope for.
