My experience has been 'hit'. I've come across a lot of viewers, non-Bond fans in particular, who say they had a great time. Some were surprised how much. Obviously there have been those that weren't enamoured, but the strongest criticisms I've seen are from fans.
Yup. I thought the same.
And bizarre it was. I've never seen such a huge discrepancy between English/Dutch (European) reviews that were posted on RT from October 26th and onwards....and the reviews that were from North-American newspapers/movie websites and that were posted shortly before, during and after November 6th. Let alone the huge drop in both critics and audience ratings on there. It was bizarre indeed.

Can somebody euthanize this troll?
Must say, GG, I felt that often members here have expressed, how they were even blown away by his performance, by the confidence etc., and how they didnt think, he could do lighter. So, to be fair, I tbought, it was done justice.
I fully agree. You can actually feel that, especially the humor, feels much more natural, much more improvised. His 4th outing feels a bit more improvised, and I love that. For instance the first meeting between Bond and "C" is so wonderful: "No :-)! I will call you "C". "C" it is", with Connery-esque wit :-).
By the way, I'm again curious what Sir Sean Connery thinks of his latest Bond outings :-). I'm sure he sees a lot of himself in Craig's portrayal.
Agreed. The consensus is Craig is phenomenal in SP and people here have been very vocal about it.
In all honesty, all I'm reading now in various topics is about all the flaws "SPECTRE" has. I really have to search hard to find some more elaborate review that goes into detail about Daniel Craig's performance as 007 in SP.
By the way, I'm really glad that in here we find some more fans, yourself included, that are positive about Craig as Bond in this film. You included ;-).
Not at all on topic and mods will no doubt give me a slap but that video has wound me right up.
I like a lot of what Mendes has done with Bond but when it comes to action he hasn't got a clue.
Look at him dancing around with glee having just had a bigger explosion in his pants than was on screen.
The train through the wall in SF was the same 'look it's really amazing Bond action because we did it for real you see.'
F**k off. In both these amazing for real scenes Bond is just a bystander. Feeble Samuel.
Let's talk about John 'journeyman director, all his films look like TV movies' Glen for a minute if you want to talk about Bond action. Instead of raping the budget like Fritzl's daughter meaning that the film will barely make its money back unless it gets $1 billion he lets Derek
Meddings achieve the same effect for a 50th of the cost and then concentrates on delivering some proper Bond action like two men having a fight while HANGING OUT THE BACK OF A F**KING HERCULES FOR REAL!!!
'Oh but Wizard Sam Mendes is an Oscar winning director' I hear you whine.
Well when it comes to his Oscars, his poncey opening shots that are so important the gunbarrel has to be dropped and his f**king explosion that made Norris Mcwhirter moist I think it was Mr Roy Keane who said it best: 'Sam go and stick it up your bollocks!'
Here's an idea EON if you're reading (and pay attention because this will save you millions): by all means get Mendes back to finish the Craig era because a lot of what he does is good but when he says 'I need a shockingly large amount of money to create a sequence for real but is actually not that good' you say to him 'Sorry Sam but we're going to take half that amount and keep it our pocket and then take the other half and spend it on some f**king writers and paying BJ Worth to come out of retirement and deliver something truly awesome. Stick it up your bollocks.'
Ok I've finished now continue with the debate. The domestic gross, opening weekend, adjusted for inflation etc.
Great post. Carry on like this and you are in danger of being labelled a 'national treasure'.
Fritzl's daughter... You're line in humour is so dark it comes out the other side into the light! Hilarious.
The comments I have seen on Seydoux have been mixed however.
Bellucci very positive. Waltz positive but too brief and underused.
In regards to the film itself, as I posted on this site before, here are the audience (not critic) consensus ratings as of now. If there are more sites that have aggregate user reviews, I'm interested to see what they are. They are usually the most accurate guide to how a film is perceived (note the number of users reporting on the top two):
RT: 66% - 81,674 users
IMDB: 7.1 - 123,146 users
Metacritic: 6.9 - 576 users
*relief* :-). Bravo @BondJames :-D! A more...positive-spirited remark from your side ;-).
In any case, I fully agree with you here. Especially your last remark. All of Craig's outings as 007 are spot-on, but are also entirely related to the plot/story...hence the 'varying degrees' you are mentioning. I think most of us would agree that following characteristics of each outing are applicable to Daniel Craig:
Daniel Craig as 'James Bond-007' in CR:
--> The "Blunt/Naive/Emotional Bond":
--> In here Daniel Craig portrays the Bond who just got his 00-licence. Obviously we witness a more naive Bond who bluntly works by his own experience, not the 00-experience. And we know how devastated he was after Vesper's death.
Daniel Craig as 'James Bond-007' in QOS:
--> The "Vengeful/Rogue/LooseCanon Bond":
--> In here Daniel Craig portrays the agressive Bond who is out on revenge. He kills without his 00-licence in mind, and his emotions are clearly that of a very angry man. More than in CR he ignores MI6. A bit like Tim Dalton in LTK.
Daniel Craig as 'James Bond-007' in SF:
--> The "Assisting/Older/Bodyguard Bond":
--> In here Daniel Craig portrays a Bond that is very much victim to the circumstances. Actually, one could say that in some instances, M clearly has the leading role, and Bond an assisting role. But don't forget: During the entire PTS Bond is already a more full-rounded Bond who listens much better to M (it has to be, four years after the events in QOS)! He's fully M's assistant/bodyguard. And at the end we see how he reports to the new M.
Daniel Craig as 'James Bond-007' in SP:
--> The "Funny/Comfortable/MissionBound Bond":
--> In here Daniel Craig portrays the Bond we all love and care for...and that over a course of three adventures (four if you include SP). He's funnier, wittier and has his emotions better in check. He also comes across as a leader in the events, in which he judges the situations better. During some scenes I actually felt a huge Connery-vibe (TB? GF?).
Yes I agree.
Professional reviews: 17 positive, 11 mixed and 2 negative.

Another important score is Cinemascore. SP had A-

Because as soon as some one says something quite positive, there's a guy who comes and criticizes him for not being positive enough, for not saying how incredibly great SF is compared to the incredible rubbish of the Bond franchise until then.
So you're left with the negative persons that you keep on fueling every day by wanting to "prove" them they're wrong.
Oh and btw, the French reviewers are very coherent with the North-America reviewers. So you'll have to do some French hating too.
....
;-)
I'm sure I can manage that!
Unfortunate turn of phrase... Unintended I know ;)
Oh dear, you are right. Sorry. As you said, not intented.
Thanks for posting your screensaver.
