I watched Spectre for the second time.


The Craig films have been rather odd for me because I first like them then I feel less about them.

Casino Royale was my favorite but it moved down a few spots. I like Quantum of Solace when I first saw it and now its my very least favorite Bond film. And Skyfall has dropped down a few pegs as well. So I figure I will like Spectre less on my second viewing. Luckily that didnt happen. I enjoyed it even more the second time around. Even bumped up my rating.

Good on you Spectre! You a solid BonD film.

Certainly Craig's least good Bond-film, in my opinion. They have ruined the characters for Moneypenny and Q, I feel. Quantum of solace is slightly better. Craig was still young looking, like in Casino Royale.

Quantum of Solace is the only Bond film I hate. Really nothing redeemable about it. The new Q sucks though.

Verily I say unto thee...agreed on QoS which plunges to depths of awfulness that mere words cannot express.

Yeah. In a series of fun and excellent film this one really sticks out as the sore thumb of the series. The only other one I dont car for is Diamonds Are Forever. However the opening scene I rather enjoy of that film.

I wasn't fond of Q in Skyfall but he's really grown on me and turned into one of my favorite things about Spectre. He's a perfect Q for the new generation, with all respect to Desmond. And John Cleese, who I liked but was unfit for this new version.

I'm not yet sold on the new Moneypenny though. I think they're trying to force her too much.

Spectre is nothing more than a solid effort, but it is far better than the turgid QOS.

Out of the CR films: I have seen SP once, CR 3-4 times, SF 3-4 times, QOS 8-9 times. Something about SP makes it pedestrian and uneventful for me.

I can't wait to see Bap's response to you seeing QOS 8-9 times.
