Spectre (film) - Bond 24

That’s great. I haven’t watched Adult Swim in a long time, but whatever that’s from, it looks like a funny show.

Troubled waters pre-dated both Casino Royale (the ownership lawsuit finally got settled) and Skyfall (MGM's financial woes delayed the film happening by two years), both of which turned out fantastic. And despite being weaker films - simply by comparison to Casino Royale and Skyfall, both all-time-great level Bond flicks - Quantum of Solace and Spectre are both really solid flicks. QoS is the weaker of the two, but even still, it has an awful lot going for it and is miles ahead of the 'worst' Bond films. QoS is quite a breezy one (indeed, it's the shortest of the Bond movies, with the credits rolling at like the 99 minute mark). I've been meaning to re-watch Spectre, come to think of it. I've seen it a couple of times now. It, like QoS, just couldn't measure up to the sheer brilliance of their predecessors. Also - Too Many Cooks - haha! Me and some mates were mulling over that 'never ending credits' idea a while back.

I think Spectre is damn stupid. The villain pulls a lot of tricks that were mocked in the Austin Powers movies 20 years ago.

Yeh, it was easily the worst Bond film of the Craig era. Just dumb. All the wrong beats were hit. Which is a real shame, because the Craig era Bond is a series of continuing films in a long running story, which was never really done before with Bond. So you can't just skip it, as it were. Honestly though, I couldn't care less if I never see a James Bond film ever again.

There’s no denying that Spectre had more than it’s fair share of issues, but I still enjoyed it. Of Craig’s films, Quantum of Solace is my least favorite. I’d rank them as Casino, Skyfall, Spectre, Quantum. In all though, Craig has had a solid run with the character, IMO. Probably the best set of Bond films for an actor since Connery. Huge fan of the series, own them all, and watch them regularly, so perhaps I’m a bit lenient, as well...

I've only seen each Craig bond film once - when they were released. So I don't have either Casino or Quantum fresh in my memory. However I really liked Skyfall. I thought it was great.
