Featured review
- All aspects are straight-up an improvement from Dr. No.
- 2nd best opening sequence in Bond history. It assuredly assembles the pristine, fresh, new spirit the film is pursuing to incarcerate.
- One of the brightest Bond opening credits of all-time. The color pallet is unprecedented.
- The serious tone forges the superior Bond storylines. Expanding on the resourcefulness of its predecessor but also abandoning the goofiness of its climate was a canny decision. This solidified the 007 films as less of a joke and more of a masterclass of espionage/action/mystery filmmaking.
- James VS Grant is bound to be a Top 3 moment in the history of the franchise-or what I have examined of it so far.
- From Russia With Love is essentially the "full-price" version of Mendes's Spectre.
- You will be fairly embarrassed when you don't recognize Robert Shaw as the blonde antagonist once you've IMDbed the cast.
- Verdict: A-
