Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.
As I've said - this looks to have everything I could possibly want out of it. Well, besides David Arnold returning to do the music. Maybe for Bond 25... But other than that! Looking great. Mister White (and, by extension, Quantum). Secrets from the ruins of Skyfall. Adoption papers, confirming Vesper's analysis of Bond not originally coming from wealth. Burnt photo - a lost sibling? Waltz's character, perhaps? Spectre ring made me all tingly. Waltz at the end of that table, wreathed in shadow. He's more Blofeld than Blofeld ever was.
Fact: Sam Smith has a very impressive vocal range.
Fact: when he juts into his falsetto for no reason other than to show off, Sam Smith's voice is annoying as s***.
As a big fan of Bond songs - a far bigger fan of the songs than the movies, I must say - I can't say I like this one.

Those are two of the worst, right down there with "Moonraker", though I actually really like my 'Redacted' song fan edit of "Another Way to Die". (The) "Writing's on the Wall" is indeed not quite as bad as those, as I kind of like the verses, and the overall orchestration is very nice, but the second section of the chorus sucks, and all that falsetto really annoys.
The word is that 'Spectre' is "Fun" and contains "Humour"... surely this can't be true from the same guys that brought us 'Skyfall'? I'll find out tomorrow night. Fingers crossed!
Saw Spectre last night. It was better than 'Skyfall' at least.
There was some humour which is a new touch for the Craig era and for what I think is the first time in 10 years Bond is allowed to have one modest Gadget (At least I don't think Craid had one before). The first half ranges from average to tedius but the last half is a proper full-on Bond adventure like we haven't had since 'Goldeneye'. The film is way too long and could do with a good half-hour removed from the middle. Apparently there is time in a Bond movie for a what I believe was a whole minute of silence where nobody says anything, or nothing happens, that scene would have made a great trailer ;-).
Frau Farbissina gets a cameo, I was dying to shout out "Scooootttt!".
Not including the ending credits... the Bond theme isn't used :-(. At several points like when Bond wrestles control of the Helicopter back, when he crashes the plane through a building, or when he escapes on the boat I just started humming the theme in my head to make those moments better.
I liked the whole Bond and team against the establishment angle that they'd borrowed from 'Licence to Kill' although at some point they run out of things for Moneypenny to do.
Christoph Waltz who starred as "The man who definitely isn't Blofeld" was of course fantastic. The best baddie of the Craig era easily IMO.
