Thanks for giving an old man space to be pedantic. ;-)
You know how much we like clear rules, @royale65, and you make the calls in this thread. So rule away, sir! Rule away. ;-)
78.7%
Yes, via @DarthDimi and @MrBond's ratings has gone up from 75.4%, to the quite heady 78.7%. Thank you guys! ;-).
Which is just under the range that I expected Dr No to be in.
So, there it is. A few questions -
What do you think -
Is it higher/lower than your own ratings?
What is your favourite category/element/thing in Dr No?
What surprised you the most, while reading other peoples ratings?
I'll be starting a new Bond film up tomorrow. :-).
Skyfall!!!

*if you think hard enough about the dreaded escape plan, most of it can be explained, albeit be it very tenuously...

15. Plausibility - 5. If you mean believable.

Die Another Day will be interesting!
I'm sorry I don't care whether or not you hate the film but that is ludicrous.
(I've just seen @M_Balje's rating - a 4! I'm lost for words).
Agreed, Skyfall has beautiful cinematography, truly beautiful.
Glad someone agrees.
Our combined rating for Skyfall is - 75.4%
So, there it is. A few questions -
What do you think -
Is it higher/lower than your own ratings?
Is it higher/lower than your own percentages?
What is your favourite category/element/thing in Skyfall?
What surprised you the most, while reading other peoples ratings?
* I'll post the next film up for discussion tomorrow.
Moonraker!!!
