Pretty sure SPECTRE just stole the the BEST TITLE SEQUENCE EVER belt away from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Phenomenal movie, and the best campaign ad imaginable for Rand Paul 2016. Between the visceral kinetics of that train fight with Drax, and the tension build as Bond's going through the old MI-6 hq, think i now have pre-ptsd. That, and perma-shit-lost over all the references to Mads and Vesper.

Seems pretty obvious this was intended to put a bow on the entire Craig Bond cycle, and provide the most perfect check-out point on the entire series, should they fuck up the re-casting, next time around. (Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Richard Armitage, or pretty much don't bother...)

Need to see it a few more times, but tentatively score it thusly: Casino Royale, SPECTRE, Skyfall, and Quantum of Solace (last, but still so very god-awesome.)
