Bond, James Bond

From this film I remember the Italian Bond girl in particular. And a long fight between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw.
 
So, SPECTRE is out and we all had time to digest it and make our opinions. So, what are your thoughts?
 
I saw Spectre last week and I enjoyed it. I thought it's worse because of all the mixed reviews online, so it kind of exceeded my expectations. It's a good, light action film. Nice cinematography. Feels the most classic (in Bond terms) but I would still rank Casino Royale and Skyfall higher.
 
Well, I was amazed! In fact, all Craig's Bond movies are not only my favourite Bond movies ever, but also some of my most consistently exciting cinema experiences in the last ten years.

It's funny, because I still meet people who say "Craig's not Bond" (thankfully there's less and less of them), but 1.) if the next film with him will really come out in 2018, he will have been plaing Bond for 12 years, the same as Moore 2.) he can nail everything about the character, IMHO. From the literary "brutishnes", to the action scenes, to the finesse of the previous movie versions, for me he is the Bond. Seriously. I will be very sad to see him go.

Spectre reminded me of Quantum in a way - both very dependent on previous installments, both very underrated in the circles I move in, atypical relationship with a Bond girl, somewhat blander villain (strange, since he was played by Waltz), both have an Italy setting, a controversial opening song, you could mention even the Spectre/Quantum parallels...
 
I'm up for continuing this too....We've tried twice and only made it to the very first Bond movie, Dr.No both times. That's bad :D

Craig is great, I really like his performance. Him and his 4 films are the best Bond to me.
 
We could go in reverse, but then the Craig movies would feel weird, Spectre is not yet out on home video (though I might download some shitty CAM version, I most definitely won't) and we might not get past Die Another Day :D
 
I enjoyed SPECTRE .. not as good as Skyfall or Casino Royale, but a good movie. At first glance, and this is only seeing it once, I would put in somewhere towards the top of the middle of the pack of all the Bond movies.

If we will go into that again, I will gladly re-watch every movie accordingly. :)

Well if we start up from the beginning again, Dr.No will be my most watched Bond movie ;)

Yeah, I think there were actually two attempts to get this going, and it ground to a halt when we started on the early films. Although I do like the early ones and agree chronological makes the most sense, would it be worth picking them at random and going with whatever develops? Although I'd need to go and see Spectre first :p


Edit: Loosey beat me to it
