[sark]

74% say 7 or higher. That is very encouraging among some of the prominent negativity.

[Elvenstar]

FINALLY watched it yesterday
Voted for this wonderful art house film

CR and QOS equal (actually it's 1 movie!!!!)
Top 3
9/10

Still under impression

[bondrules]

1. They're too different so comparing them is wasting my time, d'you hear?

(One complements the other)

2. It's in my top three

(actually I see it as Act3 of CR, so it's CR+QoS as 1-2, then FRWL as third....I posted my overall ranking a little while ago.

3. 9/10

(Read my review - Quantum of Rocks!)

[O.H.M.S.S.]

1. I prefer Casino Royale.

2. Not in my top 3 (OHMSS, FRWL, GF).

3. 7/10, good movie anyway.

Poor Robert Mugabe is currently languishing with one vote. Although by his election rules that's still enough to guarantee him the Presidency.

Ah yes, Mugabe considers all votes against him as preferences to him. Even though his country opts for a first past the post system.

Not all black presidents are great.

I think this is exactly how I will feel.

[Joe Bond]

I can't vote since I put a null vote to see the results so here what I would vote for:

1. I prefer QUANTUM OF SOLACE to CASINO ROYALE

2. Too Early to say

3. 9/10

[Bucky]

finally saw it last night at midnight. it was really good. i think it is probably the hardest bond film to judge ever because it really feels like it is part of something bigger.

for this film i remained completely spoilers free. i did not watch any previews (had to unplug my tv for the week leading up to the movie) and i am glad i did because i am not sure what my expectations would have been like if i had seen them. to get hyped i watched all 21 movies leading up to the new one (watching casino royale three times)

anyway

1. They're too different so comparing them is wasting my time
2. Its in my top 10 (top 3 is still CR, FRWL, and OHMSS)
3. I gave it an 8 although that might change with future viewings

[The Dove]

I voted exactly the same as BlackFire did!!

1. I like them equally
2. It's in my top 3
3. 9 out of 10 (well in my thread review I gave it a 9.5!!)

[Harry Fawkes]

QOS is simply the best Bond film in ages. Craig established himself as the best Bond since Connery in Casino Royale and in QOS he excells!!!! Well done EON. 10 out of 10!

[Blofeld's Cat]

This poll certainly does not reflect all the (sometimes vehement) negativity that we are experiencing. Is it just a case of the vocal minority at play here?

[tdalton]

1. Too early to tell
2. It's in my top 10
3. 8/10

[bondrules]

I think that by now we have a pretty good amount of CBners that have seen the film.

We have reviewed and commented.

I seem to be missing a thread that is simple in summing our overall impression in terms of scores.

Out of 10, how did you grade QoS?


Me: 9/10

[jimbo bond 007]

A solid 7.5 from me.

Actually, probably an 8 after my second viewing.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

7

Had Forster not used shaky cam, editing been more controlled and less frantic, and less squashed together meaningless chases, it would've been a 9!

[Loomis]

If memory serves, I gave it an 8.

Nowadays, having sobered up somewhat, I'd probably amend it to a 7. No, a 6. However, I've "only" seen the film once, so it may be that a second viewing will have me glugging the Kool-Aid again.

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.

In view of the controversy and loudly expressed disappointment from so many fans I would say it's a valid and purposeful poll. I'll vote in your poll but I need to make up my mind about some things first.

Jim, how does one set up a poll on CBn? I see the option to start new threads but I don't see an option to start a poll and I want to start one.

Only moderators have this extra special power, so you have to ask so very, very nicely.

Consider me a "No, I don't think Quantum of Solace should be recut onto DVD; what a very perverse notion". Or "Robert Mugabe".
