I just saw this. It was an oddly paced movie--each scene was fine but the whole thing didn't really cohere together. Certainly better than quantam of solace but not nearly as good as skyfall or casino royale.


Man that was such a shitty bond song. Wasn't radiohead doing this one?

I'm a huge fan of Craig as Bond. But Spectre is by far the best. And Quantum of Solace is better than Skyfall, I think.

Team Rudd. Although I wasn't a fan of Craig as Bond until Spectre.

I liked his performance. I think he's a wonderful bond.

Watched this last night, the only Craig-era Bond film I've seen.

It was great!

Rumors going around that Christopher Nolan may be involved with the next one.

Rewatched this last week. Just bad decision after bad decision, plot-wise. I'm good with Blofeld being the overall force behind the puppet master behind the previous movies but there was no reason to make him Bond's half-brother or second cousin twice removed or whatever he was. So stupid and unnecessary. While there are flaws with the previous movies, I thought the setup for Spectre (née Quantum) was done well and they squandered all of it.

And how do Bond and Madeline fall in love after a couple of days? Bond wang is powerful. If you're going have them as more than a one night stand, fine, but you already have a template for how to do it right with Vesper in Casino Royale.

The climax at MI6 was a pretty great setpiece.
