Lord knows I find the current consensus baffling. But then I'm still confused by the significant portion of Bond fans who adore Thunderball, so it could well stay near the top for many people.
@Birdleson we are dinosaurs here. My Son appreciates the past in film (mainly because I put on older s**t all the time) but times are changing... SP is a glance at the past...
I currently have it at 10.
If some of the things I disliked weren't there, it could easily be a top 6 film for me. Most of the sequences I liked were the inventive ones (pretitles, funeral, needle, Moroccan hotel, train etc.). The ones I didn't like were the ones that evoked the past (clinic, meet where Hinx was introduced, villain HQ etc.) because they seemed a little derivative (although they tried to make them fresh).
I'll see it one more time in the theatre (ranking probably won't change at that point) and then see how I feel in 6 months or so, after the blu ray release. It may all look better on the small screen (like QoS did for me).
@BondJasonBond006
I'm giving 24 points to 1st and 1 point to 24th, whereas you are doing it the other way
I've rounded my average/medians, I've got average of 8.76 for SP and 8.39 for SF
Median is SF 6, SP 8
As a Bond fan, how could you walk out of GE? I'm no advocate of Brosnan but he still was an 'ok' Bond. GE was his best film too. I guess you never even showed for DAD based on this.
Well I did walk out!! It was pure pile of crap with crap song crap soundtrack and crap imitation bond!! I did enjoy the game though! As for the rest of his miovies, when I saw their posters on the entertainment guide of one of our local newspapers I thought that perhaps it's better to witness my grandma getting raped!!
GE was one of my best experiences in a cinema ever. I was almost in tears of joy. Sadly, my Bond experiences declined since then until 2006.
The last act won't stand up very well but I think there's a lot of good in the first hour of the film. The meeting with Spectre for instance is very well done and could possibly be one of the best scenes in the Craig era.
You sound like such a lovely person

The likes of @Cowley may not like GE but at least they don't resort to coarse comparisons like that.

Good boy ;)
So, you reckon QOS a film that was barely watchable, had virtually no story, weak characters, is 13 places above SP?

Sorted.
I daresay it is not as good as CR or SF but a very solid (and like we used to say in the seventies) uptight, outta sight.

I really do think it is almost a great Bondfilm. Just a shame it suffered from having the same creative team as SF... otherwise it may well have ranked higher for me.
