    First of all, LALD is a great soundtrack.

    As for SPECTRE, I like this film more each time I see it. The two big fails are the torture scene, which doesn't come close to the CR torture scene, and the MI6 obstacle/maze scene.

    Interesting take! For me, I personally really like the torture scene which I've never thought to compare to the CR torture scene to be honest.

    For me, the biggest fails of Spectre (besides the general mishandling/shoehorning of Spectre into the Craig era), is the writing for the Whitehall Brigade. Through no fault of their own, any time Moneypenny or Q are on screen and talking, it's a bit abysmal. IMO.

    I actually enjoyed seeing as much of Naomie Harris as possible. And though the Rome-chase phone call was odd, I took great delight in the Bond-Moneypenny banter.

    "It was just a friend."
    "At this time of night?"

    Craig delivered that line perfectly.

    Yes, he did. I just watched it on my new 4K and it has become my favourite Craig Bond. For the time being, at any rate....

    Agreed about Craig's delivery of that line, it's great. The Rome chase grows on me more and more with each watch honestly. The writing for Moneypenny in this scene wasn't bad at all actually; I mostly think about "you have a secret. and you can't tell anyone. because you don't trust anyone." when I think about the bad writing given to her.
