    I think @00Beast has already said that he is not familiar with the Fleming novels, so therefore it would be inappropriate to give a score for the 'Fleming' category.

    Ok. That explains it. I hadn't registered before now that he never ranks that particular category.

    I haven't seen this one in quite some time, so a few of my ratings will be a little foggy so to speak.

    1. Direction - 8
    2. Screenplay - 7
    3. Script - 8
    4. Plot - 8
    5. Action - 9 - some great great sequences
    6. Main Villain - 7 - he's still excellent but feels a little TOO Miami Vice
    7. Main Bond Girl - 7 - her legs...
    8. Bond - 8 - his awful hair brings this down from 9
    9. Sets - 4
    10. Music - 6
    11. Cinematography - 7
    12. Fleming - 9


    13. Supporting Cast - 5 - more Q is always a good thing
    14. Main Titles - 3
    15. Plausibility - 4
    16. Pace - 5 - moves along nice and fast!
    17. Editing - 4
    18. Tilt - 3

    113/150

    The one thing I don't like about Kamen's score is that he changed the melody of the Bond theme in his score. I'm talking about the big, brassy chorus of the piece. It's always bothered me.

    Yeah, I've only read Moonraker and part of Goldfinger, so I wouldn't consider myself enough of a Fleming expert to give an accurate score in that area!

    And that's completely fine of course! :)>- Actually it makes it more interesting to see a ranking from a Bond purist who is not heavily Fleming influenced. Puts everything into perspective.

    Sorry mate - but to my mind yes. A truck race on a bland desert road just doesn't do it for me, even though Dalton does give a great final performance - the staging/2nd unit action choreography just feels flat. I found TLD's finale far more entertaining.

    Well, taste is subjective. Personally I find the ending climax in LTK to be the very best in the series

    @barryt007: I am pretty certain your number calculation is incorrect, and that the correct number for your total score is 122/150. Not to nitpick. I just very much would like this film to do well! ;)

    13. Supporting Cast 2.5/5 (5/10)
    14. Main Titles - 3/5 (6/10) Since FYEO and inspecialy since Octopussy the maintitles till LTK are to dark, LTK be les worse of all them.
    15. Plausibility - 3/5 (6/10)
    16. Pace - 2.5/5 (5/10)
    17. Editing - 3/5 (6/10)
    18. Tilt - 3 (6.5/10)

    Total: 94/150

    Hard to get in to the movie, with the dark/violence sometimes for my taste. Big part of the suporting cast i not like, the things with professor and the other lead vilian. Moneypenny and Killifer oke. Felix, M, Q, Sharky and Della are the best. Thanks to those chacters there be some subtil drama and humor, whyle some of the other humor be out of place. Pam Bouvier be a great Bondgirl. I think LTK be example for QOS in drama and in production design, moost sets/locations looks good. The lair is to much, whyle the Casino is very welcome. Like the 3 songs a lot. The composed music is oke, but has sometimes to much violence bits. The soundtrack release be big disapointed. Movie be step back if we look to TLD and all movies since TSWLM, stil there be enough to like but also enough to dislike a lot. Movie ranking: 14/23. Back on his position where the movie stay before QOS be released, between TSWLM and Yolt.

    Right then, let's round LTK up -

    Overall Bondian Scores

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service - 88.50%
    Casino Royale - 87.85%
    GoldenEye - 78.94%
    Dr No- 78.7%
    The Living Daylights - 78.61%
    For Your Eyes Only - 77.68%
    Thunderball - 77.47%
    Goldfinger - 77.23%
    Licence To Kill - 77.04%
    Skyfall - 75.4%
    A View To A Kill - 72.22%
    Tomorrow Never Dies - 70.20%
    Moonraker - 67.4%
    The Man With The Golden Gun - 61.33%
    Diamonds Are Forever - 56.05% 

    OK, so just behind TB and GF. But ahead of SF. That'll do, I guess.


    How does it compare with your own ratings/rankings?

    Mine = 88%, so considerably lower. I have LTK fourth in my rankings. I'm happy to see where it's ended up, but personally, I was surprised that it did not get into the 80% range.

    Whilst reading other peoples ratings, what stood out for you?

    Both the action, villain and Glen's directing; I was pleased to see so many people rate so highly. On the other end, both the score and cinematography, were as to be expect, rather poor.

    Feel free to comment, and another Bond coming soon!!!

    Look out! It's another Bond!

    You Only Live Twice

    /10
    1. Direction - 8 (sometimes bigger is not necessary better, but props to the Kobe Docks fight, and Gilbert's usual stylish direction)
    2. Screenplay - 6 (erratic)
    3. Script - 8 (underrated)
    4. Plot - 5
    5. Action - 8
    6. Main Villain - 6 (iconic, yes. Threatening, hardly.)
    7. Main Bond Girl - 8 (Competent, delectable, but hardly memorable)
    8. Bond - 7 (autopilot)
    9. Sets - 10
    10. Music - 10 (Barry's score is gert lush)
    11. Cinematography - 10
    12. Fleming - 5 (Dahl's kept the macabre elements one can find in Fleming's novels, but, you know, volcanoes and outer space)

    /5
    13. Supporting Cast - 3
    14. Main Titles - 5
    15. Plausibility - 2
    16. Pace - 3
    17. Editing -4
    18. Tilt - 4

    112/150= 74.66%

    Remember the first twelve categories are out of 10, and the latter six are out of 5



    These are my personal ratings -

    On Her Majesty's Secret Service - 93.33%
    Casino Royale - 92.66% 
    Licence To Kill - 88%
    Dr No - 87.3% 
    The Living Daylights - 86.66% 
    Goldfinger - 86% 
    Skyfall - 84.6% 
    For Your Eyes Only - 80.66%
    Thunderball - 80%
    Tomorrow Never Dies - 78.66%
    GoldenEye - 74.66% 
    You Only Live Twice - 74.66%
    Moonraker - 73.3% 
    A View To A Kill - 66%
    Diamonds Are Forever - 62.66%
    The Man With The Golden Gun - 62% 


    And my rankings -

    23. Diamonds Are Forever
    22. The Man With The Golden Gun
    20. Moonraker
    19. A View To A Kill
    17. You Only Live Twice
    16. For Your Eyes Only
    15. GoldenEye
    13. Tomorrow Never Dies
    11. Goldfinger
    9. Skyfall
    8. Dr No
    7. The Living Daylights
    5. Thunderball
    4. Licence To Kill
    3. Casino Royale 
    2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service 

    Hmm, a strange one. The plot and screenplay let YOLT down, but is it saved by truly outstanding artistry. I'm ranking it below GE as YOLT is lower on the Fleming rating, as both GE and YOLT have the same %.
