I've nodded off twice watching this. Will resume watching it earlier in the evening tomorrow.
The disco bit reminds me of Bond 77
Wow, i never thought you guys were so much into Halley Berry's looks Yes she is gorgeous but i thought every man here prefred the European beauties.
Or maybe i just interpreted that no one cared for Halley's looks nor were attracted to her because of how much most complained of her as Bond Girl.
For some reason i thought you guys didn't like Jinx because she wasn't sophisticated looking enough or elegant enough compared to the striking Vogue type from the Europeans like : Ursulla Andres, Eunice Gayson, Famke Janssen, Lea Seydux, Bianchi and many others.
It's a little dramatically slack at times, but that comes with the fantasy territory. Connery still brings enough sense of danger, and there are some moments of real suspense here mixed in with the camp. The reason this towers above some of the other campy entries is that it executes everything with such panache and style and looks as beautiful and big as the scope of the film (WORLD DOMINATION!!). I love the supporting cast (Osato, Helga, Aki, Tiger Tanaka, and even Pleasance's Blofeld).
1. FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE / GOLDENEYE
3. SKYFALL
4. YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
5. MOONRAKER / DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER
7. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY / SPECTRE
9. THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN / DIE ANOTHER DAY
11. QUANTUM OF SOLACE / THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
Ehh? A gorgeous woman is a gorgeous woman and Halle is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. Irrespective of what one may think of her Jinx character, she'd definitely get the d.
This bit, x1,000. She's beyond attractive, isn't very hard for me to see that. We aren't comparing sophistication or European beauties, merely stating that when Halle crawls out of the sea, I crawl at my TV in awe.
It was totally incidental, too, which was nice. After FYEO, I'm left with OHMSS, DAF, LALD, MR, and TND.
All right, got it its and i agree she is stunning
Overall a fine outing.
The only time I can't take my eyes off of her is when the film demands it (that melodramatic bursting from the ocean). It's pure sex.

my next one will be tomorrow night for the first time on Blu-ray on my 65" Samsung 4K TV set:
It's my favourite too. \m/
agreed with this From Russia with love is amazing
Simply a spectacular film. EON threw everything, including the kitchen sink, at the screen, and it shows. Epic scope, gorgeous cinematography, thrilling action, one of the top 3 best PTS' and one of the best final battle in the series. Roger Moore is on top of his game, giving a cool-as-ice performance as Bond. It's amazing how quick the pace is in this outing. Not one dull moment, just an endless succession of classic scenes.
As I didn't see it in the cinema (2015 marked the lowest point in my Bond fandom) this was the first time watching Spectre. While I waited for the disc to load up, I had an odd sensation, knowing very little details about the film, I didn't know what lay ahead. It's been a long time since I felt like that.
So, what did I think? Well, actually... I enjoyed it. While Spectre isn't going to make The Living Daylights nervous in my ranking, I thought it was very good, a considerable step in the right direction. It's is not without it's gripes. The Writing On The Wall, the way it is sung by Smith is awful, I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. The gun barrel is back at the beginning (finally), but the fade-out (rather than fall to the bottom, and open up to the film) was a cock block. And the Bond theme, certainly felt like it was used more in Spectre, than in the last 3 films put together, but it still could have been used a bit more. Mr Hinx was an absolute monster. I wasn't sure if I imagined the body slam, and had to rewind. That was quite a brutal fight. And considering that we didn't see the body, I think it's safe to assume that Mr Hinx will return. Léa Seydoux, in an unconventional way, is very charming. Team MI6 accompanying Bond, felt a little like MI6, but I won't use that as a criticism, as i'll chalk that up as a one off.
Spectre neatly ties up the Craig era, so where do I think he will go from here? Well, unlike some criticisms, I don't think Craig came off as bored. But letting Spectre would be a good send off for Craig, letting his Bond go off into the sunset. Bring back team MI6, Waltz and Bautista, to surround the next actor with familliar faces, then gradully phase some those out with replacements.
I'm not doing a traditional ranking, that will come later in the year, but if I were to rank it now where would it place? I think Spectre is the best Dan Craig film. Unlike Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace & Skyfall, Spectre not only had the (or at least some of them) traditional Bond elements, but it feels more comfortable in being a Bond film. And then on top of those, I would place it ahead of some other Bonds. We'll see when I do my proper ranking later in the year. Somwhere between 10 and 15... maybe (wherever it lies in my ranking, it'll likely be the highest placing Craig Bond).
I think that's everything. Spectre, very decent. Craig... not sure how this affects my feelings on him. I'll need to think a on this.

I get the feeling we'll be debating Spectre and its legacy for quite some time.
QoS is the only one REALLY being debated. I mean we're all fanatics so we debate them all, but that's the one that really gets talked about a lot. SP does but only because it's "the newone."
