It’s so funny how varied preferences are - that is the one Bond film out of all 25 that is a struggle for me to make it through each and every time :)

I’ve always liked that one, critical consensus be darned.

I have and in this case, definitely, which is why the movie gets more of a free pass in my book than, say, You Only Live Twice.

-From Russia With Love - It’s not my very favorite of the Connery films but I understand why it’s so highly regarded. For me, it’s not as cohesive as Dr. No, and I find I like the different parts more than the overall sum, but man, what great parts. The first pre-title sequence is a plus...

I’ll just say this. I know you didn’t have bad intentions. I saw your original post when it first went up and I clicked it, thinking it would be a discussion of all previously released Bond movies, and was immediately greeted with a spoiler that ruined an experience I had been waiting two...
