Magnificent Meeples is great! I just got their Food Chain Magnate insert and it's pretty useful.

And with that, Bondmas is over! I might do this again but in a format where I can really talk at length about each film. But this here is my ranking as of now.
1-5: Must watch
6-13: Recommended but with caveats
14-19: You could do worse
20-22: Worse
23-25: Don't waste your time

Day 25: No Time to Die
I liked Daniel Craig's take on Bond and I especially like that all the films collectively take on a narrative. No Time to Die works as a good sending off point not just for Daniel Craig, but for Bond as a whole. Honestly not sure they should even try to make any more of them.

Day 24: Spectre
It's all right. I mean, it's a totally fine action film in its own right but it just seems a little late in the game to bring up Spectre, something they haven't legally been able to do since Connery was Bond. For a series that has been at its best when realistic this one gets thin.

Day 23: Skyfall
Raoul Silva is far and away my favorite Bond villain. Not only does Javier Bardem knock it out of the park, but his presence as a foil to James Bond does wonders in making a Bond film that's about something other than being an action blockbuster. It's just a bit too long.

Day 22: Quantum of Solace
It's still wild to me that after one of the best Bond films we get one of the worst. But hey, the same thing happened to Brosnan. You can blame the writer's strike for some of it but ultimately QoS is just a weak script and poorly executed. It's not awful just boring.

Day 21: Casino Royale
ESPN played it's part but there's no doubt in my mind that Casino Royale helped make Texas Hold 'Em as popular as it is today. Easily one of the best Bond films and a really strong opener for Daniel Craig. Sometimes all you need is a simple plot executed flawlessly.

Day 20: Die Another Day
About as subtle as a solar powered beam melting a palace made of ice. What the movie lacks in anything meaningful to say it makes up for it in gaudy overproduced sets and bizarre camera choices. This one is the most "Bond as a product" movie - which is saying a lot.

Day 19: The World is Not Enough
If Goldeneye is a great steak and TND is a sloppy joe, the World is Not Enough is just like a really nice burger at a restaurant. Sure there are likely better options most of the time but when you're in the right mood for it it's SO good. Worth a watch at least once

Day 18: Tomorrow Never Dies
What an awful film. If Goldeneye is a New York Strip, Tomorrow Never Dies is a reheated (yet still frozen in the middle) sloppy joe. Pryce really chews the scenes he's in but this is just one of the worst plots in any of the series thus far. This one is so bad it's bad.
