CR does just about everything right in my book and it'll be hard for any Bond film to knock it off its #1 spot in my ranking. SF featured a great villain and was a terrific sendoff for Judi Dench's M; it's a very entertaining, re-watchable film IMO. SP had a great balance of darkness and humor, and did a good job bringing things full circle. I still like QoS, but just as a film, it felt a little weaker and less remarkable than the other Craig movies.
Cannot wait to see it again and again and again.
That is a shame that you didn't enjoy Spectre. Personally I found it to be a hoot.
It's probably an overreaction as you suggest, but an understandable one.
Great that it had such an impressive initial impact but I'm curious to see how you feel about it after you've seen it on blu ray along with some of the others in quick succession. I find that's when the best impressions can be formed (back to back with other Bond flicks).
1 SPECTRE
2 CASINO ROYALE
3 QUANTUM OF SOLACE
4 SKYFALL
Hey! CR has always been in my Top 4 :)
SP is just even better for me.
You didn't like SP?? :(
I will :)
If you take the character writing & plotting from CR, the hard-boiled grit & pacing of QoS, the drama of SF and the stunt-work, entertainment factor & classic Bond elements from SP - then you the best Bond film ever.
In any case:
CR
SP
QoS
SF
SF never did it for me. Tried to please too broad an audience. More like a final hurrah for the 2012 Olympics.
Yes, that's where I'm at with DC's films too

Somehow, I knew you'd like it. I'm guessing because the movie mixed lighter moments with heavier ones.

SF & SP are very close.........QOS is way behind the others...........mainly down to poor film making!

Spectre seems to have the best of both (all) worlds of my favourite Bond movies.
My best Bond experiences were TLD, GE and CR. In all three cases I was walking on air after seeing those movies for the first time at the cinema. Now Spectre has joined that club.
Spectre has a lot of big homages and/or similarities to many of my favourite sequences (not necessarily favourite movies) and/or characters in Bond movies like TWINE, GE, FRWL, OHMSS, YOLT etc.
Furthermore Craig becoming a "full" Bond by doing and saying things that last could be seen in the Brosnan and Moore era while still making the role unmistakably his own makes me love Spectre even more.
It's obvious now where Spectre will land in my ranking and probably stay. I guess you can figure it out by yourselves.
Also this promotes Craig to viceroy in my ranking of the actors.
I don't have the heart to dethrone Timothy Dalton, otherwise Daniel Craig would now be my favourite Bond.
But as TLD was the Bond movie that made me a fan I just can't. I was 13 years old when TLD hit the screens and it was a life-changing experience.

TWINE is Brosnan's weakest film by far! Michael Apted short of destroyed all potential TWINE had.
I love TWINE, and I, too, find it crazy that TB does not get as much love around here as it should.
w2bond did great analysis on the Bond movie ranking thread where he found it was one of the most divisive films (some loving it and some not being too kind towards it - see links below). The underwater scenes kill it for some (that was the conclusion).
For me it's one of the best (dialogue, Connery, Fiona, Domino, Largo, Nassau....did I forget to mention dialogue?). It's like a big vacation. I think CR really evokes TB in those early Nassau scenes.

Domino is an underrated Bond girl as Claudine Auger really evokes that Fleming Bond girl feel. There's great cinematography - you really get a feel for the location. I'm not bothered by the underwater scenes either as they are accompanied by Barry's first (of many) truly classic score.
Couldn´t agree more! I´m a fan of TB myself and I also think that it´s Connery´s best performance as JB.
I'm glad it's not just me! A lot of the reviews I've been reading on here are super positive which makes me feel like I didn't see the same Spectre that everyone else saw, hahaha.
My only proper complaint is that it might be too much. There are so many ideas, so many heavy scenes, the film has practically three different potential endings. Its a lot to taket in. Almost overkill...
Right now its a sure top five for me, possibly top three. Its that good! But I obviously need many more viewings of it. Which I am most definitely looking forward to! :D
1) CR
2) SF
3) QoS
4) SP
I couldn't even imagine ranking it against the others yet. I just know it's the least satisfied I have felt about a DC outing thus far. That being said, I didn't hate it. I just liked the others more on the initial watch. I have read other members liking it more after repeated viewings and I sure hope it's the case with me.
