DN- Bond vs. Dr. No. Bond clearly has the physical edge here, so the drama is moderate, but the execution is top notch. 4/5
FRWL- Bond vs. Grant. Epic fight between titans. 5.1/5 (Bond vs. Kleb was just silly.)
GF- Bond vs. Oddjob. Oddjob was dumb, but the tension was definitely there anyway. 4.5/5
TB- Bond vs. Largo. Lots going on, speeded up as well... and we knew where it was headed. 2.5/5
YOLT- Bond vs. The Rock's grandfather at Osato HQ. Surprisingly dramatic because of the execution & choreography. 4/5
OHMSS- Bond vs. Beach Bastids. Moderate drama though execution was very nice. 3/5
DAF- Bond vs. Franks. Way better fight than this movie deserved, yet the end was never in doubt. 2.5/5
LALD- Bond vs. Butterhook. Very creative, drama increased by having Solitaire in jeopardy. 3.5/5
TMWTGG- Bond vs. the dojo. Lots of fun, but little drama. 2/5
TSWLM- Bond vs. Jaws. Been there done that. 2/5
MR- Bond vs. whatever... 1/5
FYEO- Bond vs. Locque. Short (one kick) but sweet. 5/5
OP- Bond vs. Gobinda. Tense, but kind of predictable. 3/5
AVTAK- Bond vs. Zorin. Drama is good thanks to Walken, but questionable choreography detracts. 2.5/5
TLD- Bond vs. Necros. High drama high up. 5/5
LTK- Bond vs. Sanchez. Whatever the choreography lacked, the two stars made up for. 5/5
GE- Bond vs. Trevelyan. Rare dramatic perfection. 5.2/5
TND- Bond vs. Stamper. As in LALD the Bond girl is in danger, but here even more so. 5/5
TWINE- Bond vs. Renard. The drama is there, but the execution is not. 2.5/5
DAD- Bond vs. Graves (pt. 1). Out of control sword fight. 4/5 (pt. 2) Robo fight was exciting but too OTT. 2.5/5
CR- Bond vs. Parkour dude. Excellent execution makes us care. 5/5
QOS- Bond vs. Greene. We know who will win, but that slimy Greene earns our hate. 5/5
SF- Bond vs. Patrice. Well done, and exciting. 4.5/5
SP- Bond vs. Hinks. Totally awesome fight, dramatically assisted by Madeline's presence (see LALD/TND). 5/5

    Bond v Chang was a good confrontation in MR. Deserves more than 1.

    Yes, you're right. I just have this blind/impatient spot when dealing with MR. But that's my problem.
