    After some thought I have concluded that I was a bit too harsh on sir Moore's performance in my initial ranking. I will therefore like to use the extra time before the number counting to tweek my "Bond performance" score in FYEO from 8 to 9. A tiny change maybe, but appropriate! :)

    My new total for FYEO stands at 120/150, approximately 80 %.

    I hope FYEO has done well. I am very fond of that release...

    @MayDayDiVicenzo hoped FYEO would do well. Let's see....

    Overall Bondian Scores

    Casino Royale - 87.85%
    On Her Majesty's Secret Service - 82.16%
    GoldenEye - 78.94%
    Dr No- 78.7%
    The Living Daylights - 78.61%
    For Your Eyes Only - 77.68%
    Thunderball - 77.47%
    Goldfinger - 77.23%
    Skyfall - 75.4%
    A View To A Kill - 72.22%
    Tomorrow Never Dies - 70.20%
    Moonraker - 67.4%
    The Man With The Golden Gun - 61.33%
    Diamonds Are Forever - 56.05% 

    Not bad, ahead of Thunderball, and just behind The Living Daylights. Not bad at all.

    And now time for some actual discussion:

    Is it higher/lower than your own ratings?

    Personal % - 80ish Community % - 77.68. Lower. I didn't expect FYEO to be ahead of both TB and GF.

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

    Maybe Moore's performance - his usual laconic charm, now laced with a steely determination.

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

    Julian Glover as the main villain - I didn't expect him to get such low scores. Granted he's not the most memorable character, but still....

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

    Not too bad at all!

    Personal % - 91.33, community %- 77.68

    Lower, but I'm not surprised.

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

    Moore's performance, The Bond girl, the music and the locations all make for a superb release.

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

    Nothing much, but as @royale65 says, I was taken aback at how low people scored Julian Glover as Aris Kristatos.
  • Posts: 1,596
    My favorite category/element - Moore, Columbo, the finale.

    What surprised me the most? Kristatos' low scores. He's my least favorite villain but I always sort of thought I was alone in that. I don't HATE him like I hate Graves' character, but he's just so BANAL.

    I forgot to ask @royale65, but @SaintMark entered his OHMSS scores late, so have these been added to the overall OHMSS score?

    A minor change, but not enough to dislodge CR.

    Hm... To me it seems like this does not add up. :-?

    Since OHMSS's first points count, and its very solid entry of 88%, only three people have voted: Me, @QBranch, and @SaintMark (is that correct?). I gave it a solid score of 92 %, SaintMark even higher. So even though QBranch gave it a score of 82 %, it seems odd that the total percentage would drop with 6% as a result of those included votes. Is it only me who thinks that doesn't make sense? Are you sure everything was correct in the calculations? I am not complaining and I may be wrong, but with so much data to summarize its only natural that slight mistakes occur...
  • edited May 2014 Posts: 6,396
    @Jobo is quite correct. I've re-calculated everybody's scores and the results for OHMSS should be an average of = 88.65%

    Praise and accolades for @WillyGalore, for bothering to do all the counting and calculations on a tuesday afternoon, and proving that I do have some sanity after all! =D>

    b007- 121/150
    qb-123/150
    jobo- 138/150

    Kamen's score and cinematography bring the score down. Still a great film though.

    Licence To Kill

    /10
    1. Direction - 9 (I feel that Glen's work is superb but he didn't get the best performance out of Lowell or Soto)
    2. Screenplay - 10
    3. Script - 9
    4. Plot - 10
    5. Action - 10 (Tanker chase = best action in the series)
    6. Main Villain - 10 (Best in the series)
    7. Main Bond Girl - 7
    8. Bond - 10 (A Bond who's been scorn'd is Hell on Earth; Dalton gives possibly the best performance of any actor in the series history)
    9. Sets - 7 (Perhaps the film's weakest point; nothing stands out)
    10. Music - 8 (Great work by Kamen. A bit too LW/DH/80's in general at times.)
    11. Cinematography - 9 (I reaaaaaally like that shot of Bond climbing the cargo elevator)
    12. Fleming - 10 (This is a better adaptation of LALD than LALD itself)

    /5
    13. Supporting Cast - 4 (Minus points for Soto. Sharkey's a lot of fun though and Dario is sublime)
    14. Main Titles - 2 (Bit mundane at this point in the series)
    15. Plausibility - 5
    16. Pace - 5 (This has always been the Bond movie that moves the fastest for me)
    17. Editing - 5

    It has certain elements that are very 80's action film-ish, well in my view anyway. It doesn't help that Kamen provided the score for Lethal Weapon.
