Admins feel free to add a poll if deemed worthy, but interested to see how many times we have, or we WILL, see 'SPECTRE' and why, or why not.

 

Not another review, but just if you find it worthy for repeat viewings and what you've gained if you saw it more than once.

 

What did you notice? What did you miss?

 

I currently have seen it 3 times and seeing it for the 4th tonight.

 

Probably going to be the last, but I can't be sure.  :)

So you will have seen it 4 times, before I've seen it once?! So unfair!!!!!!

Only once (but that was a press screening).  Today the film opens in Germany, and I am looking forward to revisiting it.  Probably twice in the theatre.  And then... on blu ray in March, as it seems, many more times.

Currently at three, one of which was an IMAX screening. Will watch it once more before it leaves the cinema.

I've seen it once, just this evening. I definitely feel a need to see it at least once more ... but sadly it means an hour's drive, since there's no cinema where I live. :sad:

Opens tomorrow. I've taken the day off for it. In my 42 years as a 007 nerd, there have only ever been two that I saw a single time (and never purchased).

I suspect this will join all the others as a multi-watched. I've had to stay off the board because of this staggered release. I'll come back and update this post each time I see it.

Two so far, one on IMAX preview here in the states.  Probably won't see it again today, but definitely again this week, and taking father to it over Thanksgiving.  I usually catch Bond three to seven times in the theater.  One of the theaters served alcohol, so got to watch it while savoring a Belvedere martini to boot! :)

Twice in the cinema, and that will be it. Enjoyed it more the second time - I was over the shock of what I didn't like and more able to enjoy the things I did.

I never watch a movie in the theater more than once.

Can you imagine having one of those $100 tickets that lets you see it unlimited times?  Oh, now I see why they did that!

Twice in English, twice in German. May give it another go before it finishes its run in my favourite cinema, but not much more. Definitely not going for 15 times like CR, that was definitely too much. But then again, that was only because CR really had some legs. Back then, I said I'd watch it every two weeks as long as it's on in my hometown cinema (not the one mentioned above), and the result was 15 times. And two weeks after I've last seen it on the big screen, the DVD came out :P

 

But for SPECTRE, I recommed at least two times.

None. I wait until the cinemas are half empty. I'll probably see it twice. I saw SF twice in consecutive weeks and thought that was probably more than enough viewings. Perhaps I should have waited another week or two for the second viewing.

 

My enthusiasm is something to behold! :P

None. I'll probably see it towards the end of November, like I did with Skyfall back in 2012, but I can't say that I'm overly excited for it like I was for Skyfall, considering the thrashing SPECTRE seems to be taking, both with the casual viewer and the critics.

Tho' we've had our differences on these fora, I am rather looking forward to your review. You've said elsewhere that Mendes & co. aren't exactly hitting it out of the ballpark at reinventing classic Fleming characters. I think it's safe to say in advance what your opinion of a certain controversial plot twist will be. I won't be surprised if you and I have pretty much the same take on the film as a whole.

Third time tomorrow since I'm off for Veterans Day. As I see it more and the entirety of the scenes and story settle in and simmer, it's quickly becoming my second favorite Bond film ever. For me, it works on several levels.

Proper review and thoughts soon.

Three.

 

It gets better for me each time. I see the flaws, and I just simply don't care. I feel legitimately sad for those not enjoying it - I've certainly been there myself, so I can sympathize. But for me, this isn't one of those disappointments. 

 

I'll see it again once or twice before I drop a detailed review.

I've seen it twice. I agree with MattofSteel. For me the flaws are there, but not so great as to get in the way of my enjoying the film.

I greatly enjoyed SPECTRE. It's a top 10 Bond film for me and second only to Casino Royale of the Daniel Craig entries. An entertaining ride. The fun is back in James Bond films.

 

I've seen it twice so far, but I will see it at least once more--maybe another time over Christmas with my folks. Over the years, I've seen every Bond film three times in the cinema.

Twice now. I'm satisfied with that for the time being. I still think it's a good Bond movie, with my score being 8/10.

Third time today.  This time with an eye toward Darren Franich's Entertainment Weekly article's interpretation.  Also, counted the references and visual nods to other Bond films (twenty!)  It drags a bit in places (SPECTRE meeting, Morocco) but delivers what casual fans expect.  This time I sensed that the finale with Bond in Vauxhall was similar to the Dr. No novel with Julius monitoring Bond's escape through the obstacle course to rescue of Honey.
