Just waking up from a very late night (and hung over from just one martini?) but I just wanted to chime in and say that I thought Quantum of Solace was a terrific, modern, badass Bond flick that delivered for me bigtime. An excellent follow-up to CR. I'm baffled by the negative reviews and savage drubbing from some fans. Interestingly, I think QOS was in many ways the most classic Bond film we've had in ages, but that gets into a full review which I may or may not write after I shake my one martini hangover. Suffice to say for now; I dug it!

My feeling as well. Looking forward to your review.

[Harmsway]

I can't wait to read your full review, Zen.

[MattofSteel]

I completely agree. Mentioned in my review. The secret to the Craig Bond films is not that they're frighteningly new - they're just very cleverly disguised classic Bond. QoS deviates a little farther, but the elements are still there in spades.

Forget the hangover Zencat and work through the pain!

[DamnCoffee]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it Zen.

I'm really happy that the more established CBn members seem to love it.

[Tarl_Cabot]

good to hear you liked it zen...I'm going at noon-ish.Some of these reviews scare me to death("worst...ever").


But then again...Zen very rarely has a negative thing to say about 007.

I am glad to hear that another person's views I respect likes the film. I went and saw it again last night (fourth or fifth viewing) and I still don't understand why people hate it so much.

The Craig films exist in a world before Goldfinger and carry on a modernized tradition of Dr. No and From Russia with Love. I thought it was terrific.

[Bradley De La Cloche]

Glad you liked it, zencat.

[Roger Moore's Bad Facelift]

Out of all the CBN regulars, I was looking forward to Zencat's opinion most of all.
His gushing opinion of DAD convinced me he was a fan after my own heart.

I couldn't agree more. I am more than impressed, and will probably go more in depth later as well. BADASS describes the film well. I loved every frame, and will soon see it again (I even didn't mind the new location gunbarrel).

Excellent - a Bond fan with taste

Pleased and relieved you liked it. This movie has predictably claimed many "fan" scalps but also, alas, some more unpredicable ones. It really is a vote splitter.
Looking forward to the full review.

'zencat likes a Bond product.'

As morning follows night, and as annual as Christmas, so too does zen like a Bond release.

Some things are just meant to be relied upon - I can rest easy now.

Cheers fella.

I'm with both of you. I thought it was terrific. I don't get the hate. I really don't. I honestly feel like I watched a completely different movie than everyone else. Seriously, I'm completely confused and baffled about some of the reviews I'm reading.

[Genrewriter]

Ditto. Looking forward to your take on it, zencat.

[Bondian]

Glad you enjoyed it, my friend.

[00Twelve]

Waiting on your review with baited breath. .........

Ok, just waiting.

[Daddy Bond]

I'm stunned by the negative reviews, now that I've seen the movie. QoS is a fantastic film.

Definitely a classic thread!

Glad you liked it John, looking forward to the full review.

[The Dove]

Hooray!! Glad you loved it Zencat!! I too thought it was badass!!

[jaguar007]

Do you think it was perhaps "The Best Bond Film EVER TM"???

[sharpshooter]

Glad you liked it, zen. Can't wait for your full review.

[manfromjapan]

Glad you liked it as much as I did. Looking forward to your review.
