It's hard to believe that the likes of Skyfall and Spectre are pretty much the same length as CR. We seem to be taken on a whole journey in CR and it's so well rounded... whereas, for me, SF and SP become untidy in comparison. 

[thecasinoroyale]

SF and SP seem "bitty" in comparison - jumping around, making you really have to concentrate to put the narrative together.

CR just flows, and as you say, tells a clear story with a simple plot and structure.

[Surrie]

Let's hope we get something as well rounded next time!

After rewatching SPECTRE, I think I will put Skyfall in this weekend. Love hearing Adele's deep pipes set to that haunting main title sequence.

[Surrie]

The theme song is one of the best things about Skyfall! Great track. 

[Eskyfall]

I think it also has, hands down, the best main title sequence of any of the Bond films.

[The Dove]

Agreed, Eskyfall!! In fact, I'll be putting on Skyfall tonight myself! (It's been a while since I last watched a Bond film.. )

[DaveBond21]

Nice work. I recently left my marathon to watch SPECTRE with my wife.

[Brett Sinclair]

Currently watching Tomorrow never dies. It's been awhile.

[S K Y F A L L]

I"ll be watching Tomorrow Never Dies today as well in my Bond marathon.

How's the marathon going? Did you notice any changes in opinion about any of the movies? Good or bad.

I watched the series last year before SP, so I was really needing this. It has been great fun and I might do an audio commentary marathon in like six months. I find somethings always stand out to you yet others you see differently for the first time. For instance Thunderball always seemed to have a long second half and yet things like the Jet Pack and the BD5 not even shooting water straight are not as cool to me as when I was a kid. More recently as I watch LALD I though about something Jane Seymour said in the '30 Years of James Bond' documentary about Solitaire being 'tricked' by Bond into giving up her powers and this made me kinda disagree with Bond's actions, he should have recruited her to MI6. 

 

DN, FRWL and GF are to simply put it flawless to me. Since I remember I thought Connery should have done OHMSS, the continuity is just messed up there. I'm not overly thrilled with GL's performance and as I learned it takes me out of the film knowing he is dubbed while undercover however I still enjoy the film the second half more so. Diana Rigg never did it for me as Tracy either. DAF is still entertaining to me, those Connery side-burns could have done without though. 

 

Moore's series always stands out to me as complete, he goes though a lot, disarms a few nukes and General Gogol is always there even awarding Bond the Order of Lenin. Whenever I which MR now I hear M during the globe destruction sequence say, 'use the force Bond.' I ask myself during TMWTGG how was Bond ever going to get that plane off the beach. I still like MR just a little more then TSWLM but not as much as FYEO although I'm not crazy about Carole Bouquet as Melina Havelock. I never seem to get board of AKTAK. 

 

TLD seems really fresh and fast pace. I've always thought the part when Bond uses the car laser to cut the bottom of the police car a little corny and lame since it doesn't cut though the tires. Dalton's hair seemed dated to me in LTK and I felt he might have been to serious in the role at points too. As I mentioned before Carey Lowell/Pam Bouvier is charming as ever, Wayne Newton is hilarious. Robert Davi/Franz Sánchez does a great job of scaring the crap out of me. Q's role in LTK IMO is a lot of fun, I laughed out loud when I saw him in that fake mustage.

Oh that is hilarious - and very good point!

Time for Casino Royale..

[Professor Pi]

I kind of want to watch SPECTRE, to see if it's settled into its acceptance in the Bond canon.

Go ahead. I still really enjoy it.

I'm in serious need of something to lift my spirits and a Bond film never fails to do so.. Kind of in the mood to put on Diamonds Are Forever tonight for some campy fun.

 

UPDATE: Ended up doing both Diamonds Are Forever AND Licence to Kill the other night...nice contrast!

[AngusMcLean]

Have to agree with Skyfall, The Living Daylights is fresh and fast paced. It stands out to me as the first real reboot, bringing in Dalton's hard edge after Rog's lightheartedness and advancing years...

 

It's always been a favourite, so might be time for a re-watch of the re-boot

[The Dove]

In the mood for a Rog film tonight.. Think I'll go with Moonraker..

Great minds, that is exactly what I watched last night!
