It’ll feel weird leaving out @DarthDimi and @Birdleson, as they’ve been regular contributors to this thread, so can you help a brother out?
Talking of which, has anyone seen @vzok, @MayDayDiVicenzo, @Major_Boothroyd, @Crazysoul95, @GBF and @TripAces about?
My pleasure. It retrospect, I should have PM you beforehand. Ah, live and learn.

Screenplay (the written form of a movie that also includes instructions on how it is to be acted and filmed. Is the screenplay balanced, or is it too inconsistent or erratic?)
Script (A script contains the words, dialogue, actions for a film. DAF has an excellent script, but it has an average screenplay, just to give you some examples)
Don't worry @Birdleson. You haven't missed anything.

I thought it would be a bit higher considering it’s in my top 5, but I guess clinically breaking these down into different parts can yield interesting ratings since they aren’t necessarily weighted the way I give preference to them.
From Collins Dictionary -
Script
COUNTABLE NOUN
The script of a play, film, or television programme is the written version of it.
Jenny's writing a film script.
Screenplay
The script of a film, including acting instructions and scene directions.
Taken from the Oxford English dictionary.
I feel that script and screenplay are both different from each other, and vitally so, to warrant different categories.
The screenplay is an all encompassing term. In this game, does the screenplay feature enough balance to the elements that one would expect in a Bond film? Does have internal logic? Do the characters make sense for their own motivations?
That is different enough to warrant the script and the screenplay to have their own categories each.
I would have liked to include “style” as that is an underrated part of the Bond mythos. But that would invalidated both the previous two games we’ve hosted.
I am here. I'll have to go back through the film again, but this is good timing, considering DN has moved steadily up my rankings in recent months.

@DarthDimi, was that a surprise to you, the tying of DN and SP?
For some reasons, the things that seem to put a lot of people off about SP aren't a problem in my book. In fact, whereas most seem to hate the score or, at best, accept it for what it is, I have fallen in love with the bits that were composed especially for SP. So there you have it. SP felt more like a Bond film to me than SF... ;-)

Don't worry old boy, I know you're not being contrary for the sake of it. I, too, really dig SP, but the whole Blofeld angle really drags it down. Bit surprised that it ended up with with such a low % from me.
Thanks again chaps!

I love this movie, flaws and all! I do think it gets picked on quite harshly, but there are undoubtedly problems.
You can do yes. The GB and PTS were in the first draft on this game, but got left out, amongst other things, to make it more streamlined and less unwieldy.
