Comment on NOvember – Day 9 / Ranking Bond by Nick Walters

I think this calls for a meta-spreadsheet cataloguing all Bond criteria – NO!

That’s the ming mong way…

Having “gambling” in EVERY film makes it a trainspotter checklist rather than a cinematic experience.

I applaud the direction they have taken with the Craig films but am frustrated that they are apeing the Bourne flicks and there won’t be another one until 11 to truly cement Craig (who I think is the best Bond).

And Bond films are always more than the sum of their parts. Octopussy has all the requisite elements (girls, gadgets, Q etc) but is still shite.

Could the criteria be expanded to include Bond Girls, set-pieces, locations, gambling, director and OF COURSE – theme?

For example – Quantum of Solace

Direction – a so-so 4/10 from Marc Forster
Bond Girls – only 2 Gemma Areterton and Olga Kurylenko – 6/10
Set pieces – Exploding hotel! 7/10
Locations – Bolivia *YAWN!* 3/10
Gambling – None. 0/10
Theme – Ugh ‘Another Way to Die’ – 4/10

I reckon that would redress the balance somewhat.

Flattered as I am by your praise, it wasn’t be that asked that question. I wasn’t even on that panel.

Same here! I felt like an 18 year old again with this album in my hands… 17 years old, but it still sounds amazing.

A fantastic album. Who cares if it sounds like 1982 when it sounds as good as this?

Great review.

FWIW There’s also a second bonus track doing the rounds called ‘Saviour’. It’s not very good, though.
