In the words of Gray's Blofeld, "maths was never my strong suit"!
Thanks for spotting that, will adjust the scores accordingly.
Edit- that will bump up Goldfinger's score a little!

A slight drop in the case of Spy. I wonder where Spy will end up at the end of the tournament, however?
James Bond will return!

1. Direction – 8 (Mendes' done good)
2. Screenplay – 8 (The first half – prior to the London escape, I find this to be most engaging)
3. Script – 9
4. Plot – 7 (logic sacrificed for thematic strength, it seems)
5. Action – 8 (I enjoyed the action – more thriller, less set piece)
6. Main Villain – 10 (owing a great deal to Fleming's Scaramanga me thinks)
7. Main Bond Girl – 8 (Severine not M ;-) )
8. Bond – 9 (If only I could give out half points!)
9. Sets – 7
10. Music – 7 (minus marks for the generic, superhero piece of music when Bond hangs onto the elevator)
11. Cinematography – 10 (A real highlight of the series)

Not bad. In fact, if you swapped Spy and SF that's pretty much how I would rank them, provisionally.

It is in my normal rankings @GBF - I put it 5th. But this is how it turned out from those categories given.

Right your score, verified by me, is - 115/150 = 76.66%.
