    Is it really? I was simply guessing on pure calculation that to me seemed to be a fifteen minute Bond absence. If it is, that's cool. I hope you didn't take the time to tally and instead went to IMDB or something. :-))
    Nah, I was guessing. I thought YOU were telling the truth.....I need to go and lie in a dark room now. ;-)

    Only gripe not enough screentime for Medrano.

    This guy deserved more given the fact he is simply a warmonger.

    I like QOS nontheless.

    I love QOS.

    The locations are spectacular. The action scenes are complex and exciting. The plot is very convincing and Greene is a very real, unique villain. DC's performance is great and I really liked Camille.

    @Whitaker1987, Medrano is extremely brutal. I would have loved seeing Bond step in and it be Bond and Camille vs. Medrano.

    Question: how old are you?

    @DarthDimi, Most of us don't even bother anymore. He posts and we just leave it at that. He even had a topic asking us which Bond we would prefer to have sex with.

    The more interesting question would be how did he make 106 posts of pure incomprehensible rubbish without getting banned ? I do admit some of his posts are hilarious, but now he is becoming a pain in the arse... Not that I bother with him anymore.

    He made one involving a chicken, and to clarify, said 'LOOK', and pointed to the face of a chicken. That was pretty funny, but now the replies are outlandish and totally divert away from a good, interesting topic.

    It feels horrible to say, but CASINOROYALE on the old MI6forums was a better member than him.

    I wasn't a member, so I can't agree. But that must be saying something, because...wow.

    The both of you weren't there in the days of A00Gun. He was a spambot turned human by some weird Dr Frankenstein I think.

    But the problem has been nicely dealt with. ;;)

    But back on topic!
    I must make a confession concerning QoS. I think it's one of Arnold's better scores. Don't ask about the shrooms; I had none. I mean what I say. The music fits the film well.

    Back on topic I also want to add that I love the way QOS begins. It builds anticipation as you move over the scenery to the tunnel and then all the action sounds begin..and bam car chase.

    You and I both, DoubleO7, even continuing through to the roof chase between Bond and Mitchell.

    The roof scene I find hard to follow (both in suits doesn't help), but the carchase is excellent and (almost) believable. Especially the accident with the truck and the alfa!

    The roof scene doesnt do much for me and i wish the Bond theme had been used more but there are still some good scenes and dialogue in it.
    It's #8 on my list at the moment.

    I really enjoyed the roof chase, agreeing with Creasy47. I felt like that was very Bond, especially when Bond jump on the bus and sneaks up the bell tower.

    Yeah, it was really good. Even when Bond is sliding down the roof after almost grabbing Mitchell, and then jumps and smashes into the brick wall. Looks so painful, but it's an excellent angle they used for his jump. Just the real gritty, raw, brutal feeling of QoS is what I really like. I can feel Craig's pain when it's time.

    QOS is too serious. but as you guys say the action is very good.

    I just feel when he jumps onto the balcony its the only time i sit there and think 'Hmmm Bond looks like a thug there - that's not Bond '....

    No i meant his facial expression as he crashes into the furniture.

    oic. Craig pulls some very bad faces in QOS. he looks constipated. emotionally constipated that is.

    Dont forget to smash a table with your head when you do. Always makes me chuckle.

    @Jinx wouldn't quite put it that way, but it always seems to me it was unintended. A bit of funniest home videos, Bond style.
