    Re QOS: I thought editing shouldn't be considered because that isn't the work of a cinematographer.

    …and I might agree on those being the best looking. While Skyfall is probably the more objectively superior and beautifully shot film, I would still choose QOS cinematography. Why? …because I believe that’s how a modern Bond film SHOULD look. I just works better for Bond in my opinion.

    That's exactly my point. Now on to the game:

    This game is absolutely bonkers and doesn’t make a lick of sense. That’s why I don’t even bother.

    Judging by the results so far QOS is the second best looking Bond film, after OHMSS.

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight….

    It is a gorgeous looking film though. It's just chopped to bits.
    That’s just the thing. I personally don’t find it to be a gorgeous looking film. I’m not even talking about the choppy editing. That’s a separate issue. I just don’t see what everyone is gushing over. It’s all pretty standard fare. I know they filmed in many locations but I never get the “wow” factor from any of it. I think CR is head and shoulders above QOS when it comes to cinematography. And even that one I don’t consider to be the best looking one in the series. For one, I like the color scheme in CR whereas in QOS the whole film just has this brown look to it.

    For me, that opening shot is so gorgeous, it had me instantly hooked. It's a very beautiful film to me.
