I have analyzed the rankings and compared Skyfall to Spectre as a first step:
28 rate SF in Top 10
28 rate SP in Top 10
15 rate SF in Top 5
15 rate SP in Top 5
you can say SF and SP are evenly loved in general and by a clear majority.
21 rate SF higher than SP
19 rate SP higher than SF
This shows again, that neither SP nor SF get a clear preference.
9 that rate SF Top 10 don’t rate SP Top 10
9 that rate SP Top 10 don’t rate SF Top 10
and again, the same amount of people have either only SF or SP in the Top 10
19 that rate SP Top 10 also rate SF Top 10
3 neither have SF nor SP in Top 10
a vast majority has at least one of them in their Top 10 or both and less than 10% have neither in the Top 10
I will add further full rankings to my Excel list and report if there is any notable change to these findings.
If someone has an idea what further could be analyzed just tell me.

QoS for instance is now quite a bit higher than I would have ranked the week after seeing it. SF is actually quite a bit lower...
Still debating on that one.
That would be just wrong on so many levels.. :(( Perish the thought.
GREAT informative analysis! Thank you! Keep up the good work!
I don t have an agenda with saying this as I love them both.
I hate to break it to you, but w2bond's calculation was some time ago.
Spectre gets 344 points after 41 rankings, 8.39
Skyfall gets 352 points after 41 rankings, 8.58
The less points the better so Spectre (at the moment) is above SF.
I will give the full ranking of all Bond movies shortly.
I have no agenda as well by the way, but would never call your assessment slanted.
Well you started with the "accusations" :))
I have to apologise to you though, I accidentally mixed up your rankings of SF and GE!
I admit that I hate GE almost as much as @Birdleson hates Spectre. Which is worse in your opinion?
I respect you both a great deal, so I would not call any of your votes "worse" than the others.
But it escapes me that Spectre can be rated 24th.
With GE I can at least understand that if someone dislikes Brosnan that he would rank it that low and the other 3 as well therefore.
@Thunderfinger is cool and all, but the GE hating is simply a front: I've seen his place, it's filled with nothing but old cans of food and all of Brosnan's films (literally: all of them), posters, and a few cardboard standees of Broz.
He stole my father s love.
Cuckoo!
Come on don't be a drama queen is just a ranking and a very personal one, still nothing has happened yet.
So you can breath for now but I won't guarantee you things will stay that way.mso if you have heart attack for this its not my fault
:))
Folks, on that website, SP is rated lower than DAF! Clearly, these critic reviews must be reactionary -- SF fans venting their frustration. While I'm no big fan of SF, I refuse to believe that Logan/Mendez/Craig could have possibly delivered a worse Bond movie than DAF! I know DAF has its fans/defenders but most Bond fans (including myself) rate it the bottom of Connery's Bonds. Let me remind us of what DAF is...
DAF is the first self-parody, slap-stick Bond. Even Moore didn't step into self-parody until MR & OP -- and even then didn't fully embody it the way DAF does until AVTAK.
DAF is the movie in which Bond places his ID on a man he just killed, which causes Tiffany Case (the first, in the end, dumb/ditz Bond "girl" who spends too much time in a bikini) to exclaim, "You just killed James Bond!" To which Connery replies, "Is that who that was!? Just shows no one is indestructible."(!!) In other words, Bond, in this movie, is a world-renown celebrity! Gangsters in this movie utter lines taken straight from Bugs Bunny cartoons.
DAF is pure slapstick self parody. SP is worse than that!? Just goes to show the ridiculousness of "respected" movie critics in general (especially Bond movie critics) & the Rotten Tomatoes rating system in particular.
"must be reactionary -- SF fans venting their frustration"
This is the best assessment yet of the critics situation, well put, spot-on! =D>
Discredited Rotten Tomatoes entirely. Great work.
