Boom. From Russia With Love takes its place, quite rightly in my view, at the top of the Bondian tree.
FRWL ranked 1/23 in our 2014 tournament with 92.0083%
James Bond will return.
Spectre, 2015
/10
1. Direction – 8 (Mendes kept the pace and involvement up until the finale)
2. Screenplay – 6 (why oh why did they have to included the foster brother nonsense?)
3. Script – 9 (the dialogue, however, I had no issues with)
4. Plot – 7 (an underrated plot to seize control of the worlds surveillance)
5. Action – 8 (I enjoyed it for the most part. Extra marks for the superb Bond/Hinx fight)
6. Main Villain – 6
7. Main Bond Girl – 9 (Those eyes. Seydoux carries the underwritten part)
8. Bond – 10 (a completely unburdened portrayal from Craig, with the joie de vivre and the gentlemanly conduct I expect from my Bonds)
9. Sets – 9 (The Rome meeting hall and the Austrian clinic were almost up to Adam’s standards)
10. Music – 6 (Again, really enjoyed it – sans the SF repetition – until the droning that accompanies the finale. Extra marks for Dr. Swann’s theme)
11. Cinematography – 9 (Superb if not for the filter)
12. Fleming – 6 (Blofeld as Bond’s brother hey?)

damn you Newman
Precisely!
Yet if you look at the polls in Gustav's thread Spectre seems to be sitting firmly in the middle of the pack.
Spectre is a very controversial film. Some love it, some hate it. In Gustav's ranking only the top10 count. Therefore the Spectre lovers elevate this film in his ranking. In this game or the "Spectre versus the field" game, the Spectre haters push it down.

Spectre ranks 17th on its debut. Ahead of the bottom feeders, but little else.
Spectre did not take part in our 2014 game, coz it wasn’t out yet. Duh.
So, what did everyone think of our rankings? I don’t think the top three surprised us. And it’s the same as mine, so the community knows what it is talking about, I suppose.
Let’s take a look at the 2016 and 2014 tournaments -
1. From Russia With Love – 91.8%/1. FRWL- 92.0083%
2. Casino Royale – 90.13%/2. OHMSS - 88.50%
3. On Her Majesty's Secret Service – 89.94%/3. CR - 87.85%
4. Goldfinger – 81.87%/4. TSWLM - 80.83%
5. Dr. No – 80.88%/5. GE - 78.94%
6. The Living Daylights – 80.73%/6. DN- 78.7%
7. GoldenEye – 80.12%/7. TLD - 78.61%
8. For Your Eyes Only – 79.6%/8. FYEO - 77.68%
9. The Spy Who Loved Me – 78.59%/9. TB - 77.47%
10. Octopussy – 77.73%/10. GF - 77.23%

14. You Only Live Twice – 76%/14. LALD - 74.52%
15. Quantum of Solace – 74%/15. AVTAK - 72.22%
16. Thunderball – 73.27%/16. YOLT - 70.27%
17. Spectre – 72.60%/17. TND - 70.20%
18. Tomorrow Never Dies – 72.22%/18. MR - 67.4%
19. A View To A Kill – 71.77%/19. TWINE - 63.85%
20. The Man With The Golden Gun – 69.6%/20. TMWTGG - 61.33%
21. The World Is Not Enough – 69.03%/21. QOS - 59.40%
22. Diamonds Are Forever – 68.95%/22. DAF - 56.05%
23. Moonraker – 66.81%/23. DAD - 39.92%
24. Die Another Day – 49.96%
Spy dropped from 4th in 2014 to 9th in 2016, with about a 2% drop.
GE dropped to 7th in 2016 after getting a top five result last time.
GF done well this time, rising to 4th from 10th.
QoS climbed from 21st in 2014 with the measly ranking of 59% to a more respectable 15th this time around with 74%.
The bottom six or so are about the same, although MR didn’t do as well in 2016.
My heart weeps for my beloved TWINE.
@MayDayDiVicenzo will be slightly upset seeing his cherished AVTAK slip from 15th to 19th.
SF done about the same – I expected it to drop, but it went up to 11th from 13th.
The biggest shock to me was TB’s performance – in the top ten in 2014 to 16th in 2016, but the % ratings weren’t that far apart.
Thoughts on our ranking?
All that’s left for me to say, is a big thank you to all for participating.
James Bond will return with CR’54 tomorrow.
