For me, I have Spectre hovering around 10 or so in my rankings. I’m certainly not a fan of trying to tie together the Craig films, or the whole broFeld thing. However, when you remove your own bias/emotion, it’s quite a fun romp. So much potential wasted, but somewhere in that mess there’s a pretty decent film. I would love to see a re-edit one day where they just cut it down by 15-20 mins - remove the whole “author of your pain” BS and the overlong ending. There’s a good film hiding in there somewhere amongst the bloat...
But I still enjoy a watch of SP, scenes that i originally liked, i still do!
I can perfectly understand why lot of people here kinda hate it, on the other hand.
Same as me.
None of the frequently alleged flaws bother me anymore, not even Brofeld, but I do see why they can put people off. For me I just love it because they nailed the tone I was hoping to eventually see after Casino Royale as EON tiptoed back toward Bond movies that feel like Bond movies.
And at the end of the day, the biggest thing for me with Spectre is that I just love every scene. If I go to the fridge or toilet while watching, I have to pause it. The film may be less than the sum of its parts, but I sure love the parts. Even sort of weaker scenes, like the C stuff, still has greatness in the frame. In the case of C, it's having the incredible Ralph Fiennes around.

Thats it really. Despite its flaws, it still feels more like a Bond movie than SF!
Theres a lot that could have been done better, and a shorter running time.....but you could say that about a lot of Bond movies!
It started at #15 when it came out. Now it's like 21. Wouldn't be surprised if it falls to 23.
As in somewhere in the middle of the last and 3rd last place.
