First and perhaps only Bond movie I've seen in theaters three times. Maybe that changes with No Time to Die.

I'm curious guys, what was your first 007 in theaters? Mine was The World is not Enough, that marvelous Garbage song and Sophie Marceau.

Die Another Day. It was fun at the time I guess, but the sheen wore off immediately on first home video viewing.

I'm 33 and somehow my first Bond movie in theatres was Skyfall. I was never a big fan of the character and the films. The old ones feel boring and very outdated while the new ones could never compete with much better action films of the time. Skyfall was really good though. I enjoyed parts of Goldeneye, OHMSS, the campy fun of Moonraker and that's it. I cannot get over the nonsensical plot of Casino Royale to appreciate it as most.

But still, to me, the most fun I ever have with Bond is with... Austin Powers. For me Bond works best as a parody of the already ludicrous tropes it started.

See Sam Smith, there was a way to sing this song in a way that is not overly obnoxious.

I actually think Writing’s On The Wall might be my favorite and Sam sang it beautifully. NTTD comes second for me then Skyfall (sorry Adele).

Surprisingly Skyfall just didn’t work for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed Spectre. Officially ready for No Time To Die.

Sam Smith did nothing wrong. Tastes vary though, that's alright.

It's just the way Smith sings, it's not for everybody

I'm not the biggest fan either but I wouldn't call it obnoxious.

the girl has a pretty voice but she makes the song sound even more cookie cutter than sam smith did... it sounds bland

writing’s on the wall may not be my fav, but honestly i’ve also stopped liking skyfall that much either. i think it was just overplayed everywhere at the time and covered by everyone and just drove me crazy
