    Shall we round up DAF's underwhelming results? Good...

    Diamonds Are Forever - 56.05%

    Only three out our 12 participants rated DAF higher than 100. The rest were below, and some significantly, as well.


    GoldenEye - 78.94%
    Dr No- 78.7%
    The Living Daylights - 78.61%
    Goldfinger - 77.23%
    Skyfall - 75.4%
    Moonraker - 67.4%
    The Man With The Golden Gun - 61.33%
    Diamonds Are Forever - 56.05%

    Egads men! Look at that, DAF is propping up the table, a whole 5% below TMWTGG.



    And now time for some actual discussion:

    Is it higher/lower than your own ratings?

    Personal % - 62.66 . Community % - 56.05. Well, it looks like both the community ratings, and my own rank DAF last. I wasn't expecting the users rankings to be so harsh.

    What is your favourite category/element/thing in the film? 

    Defiantly the music. I enjoy DAF enormously - it's a fun. breezy episode in the Bond saga, and it features some of the most quotable quotes in all of Bondom.

    What surprised you the most, while reading other peoples ratings? 

    The staid direction of Hamilton came in for some deserved stick, but other than that, the film was as I expected. Still the score was almost universally praised.

    Feel free to comment! Another Bond film coming soon...

    Casino Royale. Oh boy, I'm excited. I'm not deliberately going for 100%, but don't be surprised if it turns out that way.

    1. Direction - 10
    2. Screenplay - 10 (I really like the Venice sequence)
    3. Script - 10 (Best in the series)
    4. Plot - 10
    5. Action - 10
    6. Main Villain - 10
    7. Main Bond Girl - 10 (Best in the series)
    8. Bond - 10
    9. Sets - 10
    10. Music - 10 (Arnold's best)
    11. Cinematography - 10
    12. Fleming - 10 (Exceptionally faithful to the novel; as much as Vesper's death is turned up to 11, it's still suicide in the end)

    /5

    13. Supporting Cast - 5
    14. Main Titles - 5 (Best in the series)
    15. Plausibility - 5 (Honestly, I don't understand the fuss about the defibrilator)
    16. Pace - 5
    17. Editing - 5
    18. Tilt - 5

    150/150

    100%. I swear to you all, I didn't force this. This is my genuine rating.

    1. Direction - 10 perfect- Campbell nails it again
    2. Screenplay - 9 'I have no armour you stripped it' (in France, they call it Royale with cheese)
    3. Script - 9 aren't scripts and screenplays for film the same thing?
    4. Plot - 10 intriguing, great work updating Fleming for modern times
    5. Action - 10 perfect, the addition of the sinking house is fine
    6. Main Villain - 10 decent, realistic deformity, refreshing to not have Bond kill him
    7. Main Bond Girl - 10 superb, the part where Vesper starts crying after Mendel delivers the case seems a bit out of place though
    8. Bond - 10 top notch work from Dan
    9. Sets - 8 what we see is good, but not unique/Bondian enough
    10. Music - 9 can't complain here
    11. Cinematography - 10 perfect- nice long shot of the train and Montenegro comes to mind; b&w grainy PTS is epic
    12. Fleming - 9 very Flemingesque as it was mostly faithful to the book
    13. Supporting Cast - 5 excellent cast- cannot fault anyone here
    14. Main Titles - 5 fresh, great way to use male silhouettes for a change
    15. Plausibility - 4 pretty plausible, apart from shooting the fuel tank at the embassy
    16. Pace - 5 perfect
    17. Editing - 5 love the interweaving scenes with Dryden and fight with Fisher leading into the gunbarrel; love the fading from shot to shot during the poker scenes- very 60s-like
    18. Tilt - 4 missing some typical Bondian elements, but great film overall

    141/150

    94%

    And it's still in good shape.

    Casino Royale

    1. Direction - 5
    2. Screenplay - 4 (Points off for Astin Martin joke, Airport scene, Dryden, Solange and Vesper.)
    3. Script - 6
    4. Plot - 5 (Skyfall 4)
    5. Action - 5 (Points off for to much in the beginning and Airport scene.)
    6. Main Villain - 8.5 (Le Chiffre 8.5 Mr White 8)
    7. Main Bond Girl - 3
    8. Bond - 4 (To violence for introducing!) :(|)
    9. Sets 7 - (- 1 For Airport)
    10. Music - 4 %-( (Better scored then Die Another Day but points off for to much agression and techno left overs from DAD, Airport scene & the soundmix Title song not on the soundtrack!. Points for better themes.)
    11. Cinematography - 7 (Point off for the agression in 1 or 2 scene's.)
    12. Fleming - 5

    13. Supporting Cast - 3 (6/10) Alex Dimitrios, Mr White Hechman (Obanno) and Valenka must grow on me and same count for Mathis. But point off for Dryden and Solange :-q
    14. Maintitles - 3 (6/10) Disagree with where there at it, see Action and sets.
    15. Plausibility - 2.5 (5/10)
    16. Pace - 2.5 (5/10) To agression.
    17. Edeting - 3 (6/10) To agression edeting and inspecialy in soundmix and music. Vesper and Bond in the sea scene be delete and i think can have made the movie better.
    18. Tilt - 3 (6/10) X_X

    We must wait 4 years and atleast there let us wait 2 years to long. Wrong way of promotion for the second time in row. DAD and Skyfall be promoted to much, this movie give a wrong feeling of the final movie something there repeat with skyfall too. Where Skyfall looks cold this movie be to violence. Also CR need QOS to understand/like some of the chooses there make with this movie.

    Madagascar scene be a great setting, i wish Skyfall pretitle have litle bit of the agression of this take a way from this movie.

    At this moment i am in consider where i rank the movie. Whyle i disagree with a lot of things in this movie/not like or understand, after 2 views i already get bored by Skyfall.

    Old rank 22/23, New rank i consider at the moment 20/23, 21/23 or let i stay the movie on 22/23.

    Sorry for my absence. Right then, should we do this?

    Judging by the response, will we have a new No. 1? I love Casino Royale, yet my total was one of the lowest in our ratings.

    Casino Royale - 87.85%

    GoldenEye - 78.94%
    Dr No- 78.7%
    The Living Daylights - 78.61%
    Goldfinger - 77.23%
    Skyfall - 75.4%
    Moonraker - 67.4%
    The Man With The Golden Gun - 61.33%
    Diamonds Are Forever - 56.05%

    Which makes it top! By a considerable margin. Congratulations to CR.

    And now time for some actual discussion:

    Is it higher/lower than your own ratings?

    Lower (royale65's - 92.66%/ community 87.65%).

    What is your favourite category/element/thing in the film?

    Hmm, tricky one this. Cast, crew, music, plot etc. are all top notch. But, I have to give it up for Craig. Brilliant.

    What surprised you the most, while reading other peoples ratings? 

    The amount of 150/150 CR got.

    Feel free to comment! Another Bond film coming soon...

    Right next up for our dissection is -

    A View To A Kill

    1. Direction - 6 (staid and inconsistent)
    2. Screenplay - 6 (it can't seem to make up it's mind on 70's spectacle or 80's conservative)
    3. Script - 7 (intuitive improvisation!)
    4. Plot - 7

    99/150

    66%

    Remember the first twelve categories are out of 10, and the latter six are out of 5

    These are my personal ratings -

    Casino Royale - 92.66%
    Dr No - 87.3%
    The Living Daylights - 86.66%
    Goldfinger - 86%
    Skyfall - 84.6%
    GoldenEye - 74.66%
    Moonraker - 73.3%
    A View To A Kill - 66%
    Diamonds Are Forever - 62.66%
    The Man With The Golden Gun - 62%

    and my rankings -

    23. Diamonds Are Forever
    22. The Man With The Golden Gun
    20. Moonraker
    19. A View To A Kill
    15. GoldenEye
    11. Goldfinger
    9. Skyfall
    8. Dr No
    7. The Living Daylights
    3. Casino Royale

    So the ratings/rankings are not too dissimilar. Interestingly GE and MR are close together in my ratings, but they separated by 5 places in my rankings.
