    I've decided to describe how I feel the films were in relation to the Bond 'formula':

    DN: outline
    FRWL: improvement
    GF: organized
    TB: steady
    YOLT: broadening
    OHMSS: risky
    DAF: relaxed
    LALD: entertaining
    TMWTGG: steady
    TSWLM: comfortable
    MR: experiment
    FYEO: grounding
    OP: steady
    AVTAK: aging
    TLD: refreshing
    LTK: edgy
    GE: re-discovery
    TND: steady
    TWINE: weakening
    DAD: exageration
    CR: confident
    QOS: not-so-confident
    SF: celebratory

    This is all just my opinion.

    Dr No- First
    FRWL- Espoinage
    GF- Iconic
    TB- Bondmania
    YOLT- Fun
    OHMSS- Risky
    DAF- Meh
    LALD- Good
    TMWTGG- Entertaining
    TSWLM- Classic
    MR- Silly
    FYEO- Serious
    OP- Colourful
    AVTAK- Old
    TLD- Perfect
    LTK- Perfect
    GE- Near perfect
    TND- Decent
    TWINE- Great
    DAD- Bad
    CR- Fresh
    QOS- Crap

    Skyfall- Celebratory, good one @St_George
    The QoS haters have grown so unoriginal that all they can post is cussing. Ha. Not a clever argument (because they have none). Not a powerful word that symbolizes their hatred, having been pulled from their vocabulary (because who has time to read a dictionary when all your time is filled with hating QoS?). And no constructive criticism to add (because they only know how to hate).

    Worse stuff is said about other films on this site every single day. Not everybody likes QOS, it doesn't mean they've dedicated their lives to hating it. No need to take it personally.
  • This is like the word-association game in Skyfall :D

    Dr. No - first
    FRWL - classic
    Goldfinger - best
    Thunderball - epitome
    YOLT - tired
    OHMSS - sad

    LALD - groovy
    TMWTGG - kung-fu
    TSWLM - cartoon
    Moonraker - unnecessary
    FYEO - long
    Octopussy - funny
    AVTAK - enough
    TLD - awesome
    LTK - brutal
    GoldenEye - exciting
    TND - news
    TWINE - disappointing
    DAD - facepalm
    CR - excellent
    QOS - shaky-cam
    Skyfall - DONE

    I am not taking it personally, it is just annoying when a majority of an individual's posts are about QoS trashing. Say your opinion once, you've said it a thousand times. You don't see me spending my time in the Roger Moore threads tearing his Bond a new one. I say my piece and move on. I expect everyone to be able to do that.
