No. Do what you have to do right now (go home sick) and see it. I also hold it as the best Bond film. Though these high opinions being thrown around in here might be setting your expectations too high.

It was directed by Martin Campbell (Mask of Zorro, Casino Royale) and as far as I'm concerned- he should direct every Bond movie. Because if GoldenEye isn't my favourite- then it's Casion Royale.

Quantum of Solace- I've been hoping for good news about the 3rd Craig Bond movie since my thoughts after seeing QoS were: If the 3rd movie is really good, then we'll have a decent Quantum Trilogy on our hands. If it's not, then I never need to see QoS again. But I think QoS was made of a different quality stuff and you can see this when Bond and M's duplicitous assistant fight each other, upside down, while swinging from chandelier ropes, above scaffolding, reaching for their guns. This was a little ridiculous.

FanFiltration:

An edit of the two into one better film?

While I'm at it-

Someday, when I have a lot of time on my hands... Will attempt a Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace edit, but not along the lines you are thinking. CR is such a great movie, but so terrible a Sony prodcut placement fiesta. So first item of business is to De-Sonyize the movie. Next: CR is a little long and QoS is a little short. QoS also starts right in the middle of a scene- I would be curious to see how much better the ending of CR works as the beginning of QoS.
