I am in the mood to watch Skyfall, but I haven't seen Quantum Solace. Does one have to watch QS in order to understand what is going in Skyfall?

Nope. You can skip QoS if you wish.

Not really. I'd watch QoS but I thought it was a letdown after CR.

I think it's best to watch them in order. There are just a few things that carry over. Nothing major that negates watching them another way but I think it makes the movies tie together a bit more.

The groundwork for 'trust issues' between M and 007 and some of the 'girlfriend' things in Skyfall are set up in QS.  I think they are covered well enough in SF, but there may be about 5 minutes of SF that wont make a whole lot of sense w/o the set up.  Other than that; you will be OK.  



This being said; get them both, watch in order; 'rediscover' the best thing about the UK...  James Fucking Bond.

Skyfall was awful.  Everyone has mommy issues.  Bond hints at loving the cawk.

I'm done with Bond flicks.

The three together reset the series I'd watch them in order if you have the opportunity. However skywalk stands more on its own than QoS.

I actually just tried watching QoS and I was lost as a mother fucker. But then again, I had a friend over and they wouldn't shut the fuck up and I lost alot of the dialogue that was going on.

Quantum wasn't that good, but it did do a bit more for character development.  Bond and M got a little more developed... but you could skip it.  It wasn't near as good as Casino.  And Skyfall was pretty good, IMHO.

Daniel Craig makes a damn good Bond.
even if he did say he would like to be the first gay scene Bond.

As a Big Dumb Action movie, it was OK.

If you didn't see Moonraker, you will not get this movie at all.  Just sayin'.

Finished watching it last night.

Holy shit, it turned into "Home Alone" with those gay booby traps.

Awful.  Started surfing Arf while watching the end.

Quantum of Solace is easily the worst Bond movie in 25 years.  It's awful.  

Fortunately, it's not necessary to have seen it in order to watch Skyfall.  

I thought Skyfall was a really good movie.

Skyfall impressed me.

First time I've said that about a Bond movie since the '80's.

You don't need to watch QoS to understand Skyfall. References to it are minimal.

I really did not like skyfall. I felt the plot was all over the place, and the whole touchy-feely "Bond returns to his family home" emo crap made me wanna puke. I thought QoS was a better Bond flick.

Bond is supposed to be a near-superhuman, nearly indesctructable, womanizing scoundrel awesome secret agent. In Skyfall he's old, weak, beaten up, and ultimately fails at his mission - the bad guy gets what he wants in the end anyway. Like I said, it's an OK Big Dumb Action movie, but it's a disgrace to the Bond franchise.

Me thinks that Q (or Doctor Who; or whoever he is supposed to be) is saving that for himself.  "...it's less of a lubricating devise and more of a personal statement..."

Exactly, I hated qos until I saw the syphalytic jizzy shitpile that was skyfall.  I really hope the motherfuckers who were associated with these abominations get herpes and never work again.

He is the worst Bond ever.  That idiot he plays isn't Bond, or at least isn't the move Bond.    They need to find someone else.

Yep. QoS made no real sense or felt like it had a point. Skyfall was outstanding.

Skyfall was the first Bond movie I ever watched, I was told I'd like them since I love the Bourne movies.  Skyfall was a total let down in comparison to the Bourne series.
