I'll now go and run for Connery-fan cover.
My same reaction.
First and foremost though, let me say: I, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Fiona. She's just so delightfully evil, flamboyant, sexy and just... "Do you like wild things Mr. Bond James Bond? " Heaven.
I love Tom Jones' score, the PTS is one of the better ones, and I really like seeing Nassau in that time period, it's probably one of the best scenes in the entire series in terms of making bond feel Exotic and high-class.
But...
The film is overstuffed with characters that don't have any sort of depth whatsoever (Paula, Kutze, Pinder, Vargas), The Q scene is awful, The underwater battle drags, there are huge editing problems and the villain explaining the plot, which we then see put to action withóut Bond so we as an audience are forced to have Bond play catch-up with us while we already know every surprise is a worse movie decision than having Bond go over a CGI tsunami.

Also the movie itself is probably one of the better paced bond films ever IMO. This is all opinion obviously but I really appreciate that film as the bond movie we never thought we needed but totally did for the development of Craig’s bond. Plus, he has the most badass and killer moments in his entire tenure in this film... bring the hate on!! ;)
👏👏
👏🏼👏🏼 +1
QOS does a few things better than any other modern Bond...
- Color; not necessarily cinematography but it’s the most well balanced use of colors, lenses, filters, etc
- Fashion; excellent choices throughout, highly stylish
- Locales; I think Italy + London + Haiti + Austria + Bolivia + Russia is about as good as we’ll get
- Music; best score since Barry, up there with CR
- Physicality; Craig is BRUTAL here
Awesome list.
Welcome.
;)

Rough week for Thunderball!
Still in my top 5. Just wanted to shoehorn some Tim and Daniel in there.
My top 5 is identical to yours, expect for that TB that is so out of place.
Or as Tom Jones would say: Thunderbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall.
*faints*
;))
Well, thanks for the info - always knew my Bond tastes were a little against the grain, I suppose it’s nice to have my (bad?) taste officially recognised! The only person to have Moonraker at number one? I feel that deserves some kind of medal! I will dedicate it in honour of Sir Rog!
@Birdleson
On MI6C....Die Another Day and A View To A Kill. Almost TMWTGG but DaltonCraig007
has it #1 (second highest for tmwtgg is 6th)
If you include rankings from all sources, only DAD. 2nd is its highest position
On the other hand, DN, FRWL, OHMSS, TSWLM, TLD, CR don't have a 24th place on MI6C.
Including all sources, amazingly, only TLD doesn't feature at 24th (unless barryt007 decides otherwise...)
(all rankings are post-Spectre)
Heh. #1 is a big extreme, but I do understand the appeal - Stunts, Sets, Score
@Birdleson Just one person, DRush76, perhaps you can convince him ;)

…but we have the ranking of SF and SP at the bottom in common (although I've placed SP last).
Moonraker so close to that number 1 spot! Maybe I won’t be MR’s only number one fan for long after all! 🤞 Mind you, I do love GE so I can appreciate that! And I’m liking DAD at number 4 ... clearly this @Daniel316 fellow is a man of consummate taste! 🍸
