The Bond Project

Having just read through Entertainment Weekly's list of the best Bond films (How in the world is Live and Let Die third?) and having completely disliked the critically acclaimed Casino Royale (see review below) I thought it was a good time to introduce something new to this blog: The Bond Project.

In the next few months (cause I assume this is going to take a while) I am going to rewatch and write in depth reviews of every Bond film.

Now, I'm not just interested in simple reviews. Nope. If I'm going to rank the Bond films, I'm going to have to come up with a system to rank them....so, I'm going to write some complex reviews.

I will evaluate each Bond film based on the following criteria.

The Cold Opening
The Credits Sequence (including the song)
The Action Scenes (I will review each individual action sequence)
The Plot
The Villain
The Henchman
The Bond Girl
The Secondary Bond Girl (you know...the one who usually dies in the first half)
Bond
Bond's Associates
The Gadgets (this will include the cars)
The Q Scene (if not a Q scene, then the scene where 007 gets his gadgets)
The "Why don't they just kill him" Scene
The Innuendo

At the end, I will hopefully come up with a pretty detailed way of ranking the Bond films. I'll try and get the first one up in the next week (this will be a good test to see how I do with self-imposed deadlines).
