Having just watched all 4 again very recently :

1) Quantum Of Solace (10/10) - Unbeleiveable what I hear people say about this film , the worst comments are the 'Bourne' comparisons , have they even watched this movie? Or as I suspect just copying what the 'critics' have said , only ONE scene in the entire movie can be considered Bournelike , the rest is full of atmosphere and exciting scenes , the Opera scene been one of if not THE best Bond scene in all the movies.

2) Casino Royale (9.5/10) - Another brilliant Craig movie , from the fantastic Black and White opening gambit to the parkour chase , the Poker scenes and the fight scene with the African leader , sheer brutality. Slight dip at the very end after the torture scene but otherwise excellent.

3) Spectre (9.5/10) - Another film that is reviewed more poorly by non Bond fanatics because it doesn't have the gadgets etc and is of a more slower atmospheric pace. Personally think it's a brilliant ending to the series if you view the whole 3 Quantum/Spectre films into one piece.

4) Skyfall (7/10) - It's enjoyable to watch but has so many questions that need answering , why doesn't MPenny tell Bond to drop down so she can get a clear shot , why is there only one guard watching Silva and only one guard outside , surely he should have multiple guards , how did he get the drop on the one guard anyhow? The list is endless , the film dips when Silva escapes , the Shanghai scene is brilliantly filmed though.

I agree with everything. And Spectre was beautiful to me and dissapppinting at the same time. But i most certainly agree with the complaint of comparing Bond to Bourne. There is no reason for it and it's a cheap shot at negativily critiquing the series if you ask me.

Aren't you aware of the famous advertising pitch for QoS?

"Its the weakest, its the worst,
Its Bourne but not Bond".

Quantum
Casino Royale
Skyfall
Spectre

I feel like now people are coming around on Quantum. I think it's Craig's best and one of the best Bonds put out. I thought the opening car chase was phenomenal. Loved the interrogation with Mr. White (who's one of my favorites), the opera scene, the plane chase scene and parachute stunt (homage to Moonraker?). Also has one of my favorite Bond songs. Really enjoyed it as just a one-off Bond. Wish they would've stuck with Quantum and Mr. White.

Casino Royale was a solid Bond reboot that brought a great story with great style. Great Bond girl, great villain (kinda wish Mads was Blofeld). Hated the song.

Skyfall and Spectre, while both extremely well done, are actually pretty bad/cliched movies. Hated the psychological stuff, the mommy stuff, and thought Blofeld...blew. Both are watchable for sure but feel less like Bond movies than the others. Skyfall has a top 5 Bond song; Spectre, maybe the worst. Plus (and I know I'll get heat for this), too reminiscent of Nolan and The Dark Knight, specifically Skyfall.

I like Casino a bit more, but don't you just love in Quantum how many times Bond's shown to be a badass? In the end of the car scene, when he's machine-gunning the Quantum thugs, at the end of the rope fight, looking at the camera, staring at Greene at the opera, and so on.

I like them in the order they came out
Casino Royale
Quantum of Solace
Skyfall
Spectre

I do like to watch Quantum more than Casino but fell CR is the better film

Skyfall was good until Silva showed up then we got the cartoon villain of old times.
Spectre was simply boring. The car "chase" was simply two cars driving on, for some crazy reason, totally empty Rome streets. They even stole a bit from the movie musical "Grease"

What part was that?

Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!

I presume you are asking about what part in Grease. At about 1:19 in this clip:

Rome is a very quiet city at night so the streets should have been empty. The problem I had was how did Bond get a parking space in the front row for the Spectre meeting considering he got there last.
