Shadow_King
Their is a Favourite bond film so i decided to make you least fav JB film.
my least favourite JB film would be Die another day.
Shadow_King
what its the truth. i really disliked DAD
Shadow_King
cuz it seems like its not 007 movie its like the american vresion of JB.
TheFilmProphet
Die Another Day
1. It had Halle Berry.
2. The best opening sequence in Bond film history.
3. Best Bond car.
4. Best Pierce Brosman performance.
5. It was the highest grossing Bond film in history.
Just a few points.
phinney6
A View to a Kill.
Shadow_King
cuz it was more american. and halled wasent a good choice and the scene where he is getting chased by that light beam what ever it was. COMMON that is such an american film. it only got the most money cuz it was more action and less story plot.
yerssot
about those points TFP...
1. yeah, that bothered me too, I don't think she's that pretty and when it comes to playing a secret agents, she sucks beasants
2. Best? I dunno, but it was darn good
3. not by a long shot, the vanish bothered the hell out of me, gimme the Z3
4. That's your pov, I would say that he had his moments in it, but not that stunning
5. have you considered the power of the currency? I mean, the oldies made a few (50?) million dollars, in those days that was a lot, now you can't even shoot a movie with taht amount!
but to say mine... OHMSS... lousy bond, stupid blofeld can't recognise bond when he's in front of him, stupid FX, annoying catching of blofeld, marriage where there shouldn't be any (or at least longer), ...
Ahnold
Erm, yerss - WHEN did they catch Blofeld in OHMSS? And the FX are pretty awful in some of the other Bond films too. I mean, even in DAD - that parasailing bit {which was done with CGI} was terrible!
Having said that, I also think that OHMSS is one of the weaker entries in the series. But then again, I can see what they were trying to do...
I think my vote would be for Dr. No. It just doesn't have the entertainment values that the other Bond films have.
yerssot
Blofeld got caught ... in the tree
yeah, and it excells in uglyness in OHMSS
Dr No was to set everything
Ahnold
Which FX bits are you referring to in particular?
And I see what you're saying about Dr. No ... but I still think it gets a bit boring on repeat viewings...
yerssot
well, it's been luckily some time ago since I last saw it
and I haven't seen Dr No enough then I take
Evy_O
Dr No is a nice adaptation of the original story
OHMSS and AVTAK for me
Reborn Again
On Her Majesy's Secret Service #1 (though I like the theme song)
From Russia With Love #2 (it's a Sean Connery film)
SC is the Bond IMO.
yerssot
We have all the time in the world cry
and no one can deny Sean was the bessshhht
The Redeemer
Least fave Bond...?
"Now, this is the part I really like..."
Let's see...
DAD
TWINE
GOLDENEYE
TLD
Seems to be a bit of a pattern there, huh???
yerssot
seems weird you forgot to include Tomorrow Never Dies
The Redeemer
It's not one of the worst...
yerssot
but Pierce is in it
The Redeemer
So what? Pierce ain't the problem...
Evy_O
those are among my fav Bond films!
what a blasphemy nono
The Redeemer
Not my problem, old girl!
TheFilmProphet
True.
Evy_O
make it yours, old man
The Redeemer
C'mon kiddies...there IS life before Pierce, you know!!!
TheFilmProphet
I never said none of my favorites didn't include Sean.
The Redeemer
Good for you..."The children will be so thrilled!!!"
yerssot
I will when you like Pierce his movies
Evy_O
hey! I DO know! FRWL is one of my fav movies, and TLD is no Pierce
yerssot
but it could have used him
Evy_O
yeah, but he was busy at the time http://images.killermovies.com/forums/icons/v2/icon5.gif
yerssot
with Remington Steele, I learned
The Redeemer
Damn that Mary Tyler Moore, Eh?
yerssot
hmm...TR... shouldn't that be "Damn those veggies"?
phinney6
The worst is AVTAK, I mean moore wasn't a bad bond, but when you got him pushing 60, thats when I worry
Shadow_King
my least fav would be the last 3 jb films.
yerssot
you're such a mod
least fave is still OHMSS and DAF
Evy_O
and you're such a n00b
this was a pretty bad bond film... didn't like the bond girl either
yerssot
ban this biatch *rushes off to find an Art of War-book*^
I wonder if phinney hates DAF too for that reason
Evy_O
I don't allow you to steal Halle Berry's lines
I dunno, I didn't mind his age... much
more the movie itself
yerssot
because otherwise it will be a bad movie?
he did look old in it
Evy_O
cause they are all mine lookaround
so does Pierce... a bit
Shadow_King
i dont think it was pierce's fault hes a good actor to have played 007 but i think it was the writers and directors fault for amking the movie too american.
yerssot
too true, classics like FRWL had at least a story to it
cause of your alleged marriage huh
well, he does look old in DaD perhaps a bit more chubby in the face, but compare THAT to DAF ie, and you see a BIG difference
Evy_O
shuss! it's a secret
I think more his body rather than his face... and no, true, he doesn't look as old as moore
of course it's not Pierce's fault... he's just an actor, doesn't have an opinion to the story
yerssot
even to you huh
just cause you can see him shirtless in DaD huh
Brosnan
Moonraker, the whole space theme is pretty crappy.
yerssot
cause Star Wars rules
Evy_O
I liked Moonraker
and what a nice sight that is
yerssot
even that space battle??? that was so lousy
but you said you saw of it he's aging
The Redeemer
Yeah...but it still has Lois Chiles...
yerssot
he did Bond Girls Are Forever in 2002 btw
The Redeemer
What the hell are you on about now, old boy?!?!?
yerssot
that LC did a movie "Bond Girls are Forever" in 2002... it said so on the internet
Evy_O
Lois Chilles is so cute
the whole space idea isn't my thing anyway
nicely aging
yerssot
how do you feel about the underwater fight in thunderball?
he's over 50 now
Evy_O
mistake: During the underwater fight scene at the end, Largo does not have his eye patch on under his diving mask, but when he comes onto the Disco Volante he has his mask on his forehead with the eye patch underneath.
yeah, wish all 50 year old guys could be like that
yerssot
seriously? I totally missed that
that's such a big mistake
I would
Evy_O
I had missed it too
you don't know that yet
yerssot
I'll check it in the weekend or something
and you just wait
Evy_O
you have the movie at home?
*waits* what am I waiting for
yerssot
of course! I got them almost all
still some days to go though
Ahnold
Sooo ... back on topic then? Heh - I'm da party poopa!
yerssot
I noticed
well, since I haven't seen the movies lately, it's still DAF and OHMSS
Evy_O
AVTAK and OHMSS for me
ahnold you can be a hitman like TR, keeping people on topic, and do some beating up and whiping if they stray off
yerssot
then what is your job
Evy_O
giving the orders
yerssot
the advantage of being a girl is that you have already enough training in giving orders
Brosnan
not sure if i've posted in this thread but I'd have to say mooraker.
Clovie
i didn't like the movie with that stupid australian actor. (no offence to anyone, he was just poooor at this role)
and i don't like roger moore so much, but it is just personal thing
yerssot
ah, you mean On Her Majesty's Secret Service...well, that's the english name of course... I don't like that one either... just like moonraker like brosnan said
and I also don't like moore much
see! I'm lenient
Clovie
yeah, i believe it is the title.
that's great. you have taste
what is lenient? cry
yerssot
even in polish?
when it comes to bond...perhaps
allowing a lot
Clovie
w tajnej sluzbie jej krolewskiej mosci would be in polish, but it means almost the same
perhaps? nooo. not perhaps and not only in bond issue
good to know
The Redeemer
MOORAKER?
Now, there's a thought!!!
yerssot
with the ultimate baddie: a cow?
yeah, now you say so clovie... it's the same
but when it comes to bond, I know my Pierce
Clovie
same as what?
i'm sure you do
yerssot
the english title of course
you know the name, you know the number
Clovie
oh. true bag
*calls*
yerssot
you know his phonenumber????
Clovie
sure it's 007-CALL-ME
Evy_O
why don't you?
wasn't great but not the worse either...
yerssot
and did you, clovie?
ah come on evy, don't you remember the space battle?
Clovie
no i didn't bag i have nothing to talk with him about
yerssot
and it's 2 bucks a minute to phone him
yerssot
I can get you in for cheap
Clovie
really?
yerssot
of course, it's me
Clovie
that would be great
you have a lot of power.
yerssot
can I use that power to become Bond and make sure non of my movies would become mentioned here?
Clovie
you can do anything you wish
nice that you are worring about movies
yerssot
yeah, and hte money I'll get too
Clovie
i thought you would do it as a volunteer, with no payment
yerssot
yea right, money is what makes the world go around
Clovie
i thought it is physics
yerssot
actually, it's me, I'm the center of the universe
Clovie
it explains a lot of things
yerssot
so not a single bond movie with me can't be bad
Clovie
double negation?
i think that every movie with you would become a MAGAHIT
A4E
um.... I luv em all (the ones Ive seen) but my least fav is...golden eye
kalsolar
Hmm well any bond movie that continually breaks my suspension of disbelief i.e. makes me think, "oh s**t, bond just told a tiger to sit and it sat" this is just a movie! (as happened in Octopussy) gets my vote as the worst. Octopussy was laden with that kind of thing all the way through.
DAD had some moments like that too but committed a worse offense by making the action scenes sooo well correographed that it removed any sense of reality or sense of real danger. Particularly with the car chase scene on the ice and the finale in the plane. The escape from the plane was just nonsense! I was quite happy to accept a similar kind of escape in The Living Daylights as it all looked reasonably feasible in a bond kind of way.
So thus..worst bond films for me are those that ruin my suspension of disbelief and make me lose interest in the rest of the movie and as I've said, Octopussy was the worst offender in that catagory for me.
yerssot
can you explain that A4E?
well, kalsolar, octopussy and those jokes, that's the moore-way of being bond unfortunatly
Evy_O
yup, Octopussy wasn't great at all
yerssot
barely any moore movie was
Clovie
there was yesterday OHMSS on tv.
i didn't even bother to turn it on bag
yerssot
cause you read this thread, right?
Clovie
among the others
and i think i've seen all of them, but i just don't remeber which is which
but i remeber that i very didn't like that actor
Evy_O
he looks a bit like a monkey
A4E
well not reallly... just that goldeneye didnt like \... i dunno how to excplain like 4 exaqmple when I first saw tomorrow never dies or die another day, I was so...into the movie u know, i wanted to kow what was gonna happen etc. but with goldeneye it was like... oh ok... i saw it i liked it but it wasnt as good as the others....
yerssot
I demand you write a paper of at least 50 pages explaining why you didn't like it
and he smells like one too
A4E
please no!
but dont u agree with me?? whats urs??
A4E
tho it had good moments sorta lots... but well... I want the next movie to have more of other spies... and new gadgets and knickers
yerssot
its that goldeneye is one of my favorites
my least faves? still DAF and OHMSS
Clovie
goldeneye was the best coz it had the best actress there diva
The Redeemer
I was never too fond of TLD but in light of recent *efforts* I may just check it out again rather soon...
Necros makes a pretty good henchman compared to the lame ones Pierce has encountered. His fight in the kitchen and the part where he "gets the boot" were the film's two highlights for me...
yerssot
what's wrong with Bull?
The Redeemer
El Torro? Now he's a load of bull...
yerssot
Did he place all the money where his mouth is too?
The Redeemer
Torro = Bull = OCTOPUSSY = not a fave amongst these parts?
yerssot
it's better than other movies which were made... starring the man in the service of her majesty
Evy_O
I liked TLD, but then again, perhaps that was cause it was among the very first JB films I saw
when did you smell him
The Redeemer
OCTOPUSSY has some nice production design...and a great PTS sequence.
yerssot
it's how the song goes
Evy_O
which song?
yerssot
nevermind
yerssot
it's a silly song
kalsolar
yes, octopussy does have a great Pre title sequence and most of the action and stuff in the movie as a whole was great. It's undoubtedly an entertaining bond, and has an almost indiana jones feel about it. Problem is the parody side of it just went to far and spoiled it for me.
Shadow_King
wow one of my threads actually has 7 pages of post. amazing.
yerssot
if you keep posting here, it can become more
Evy_O
yerss tell me the song
not necesassarily on topic though
yerssot
I...Forgot
of course not ... we're like the ...pirates of the forum
Kaleanae
Yay, my least favorite Bond film is Octopussy
The Redeemer
I'd go with these three: TWINE, DAD and TLD!
yerssot
TLD? you mean... a non-pierce one? you must be sick!
The Redeemer

Just because it dosen't have Pierce dosen't means it's not crap!
The Redeemer
'Tis not the worst of them!
yerssot
that's DaD huh?
yerssot
how could you place that on the first spot?
The Redeemer

Because it's C-R-A-P!!!
yerssot
you brute
Etrigan
View to A Kill cuz it was boring. Die Another Day was too un-Bond.
And From Russia With Love was really dull until the end, when it all got exciting with that cool punch up.

FRWL dull? I suppose with todays CGI enhanced, MTV style quick edited Bond films a tendancy towards strong, intellegent story telling is out of the equation! But yeah, terrific fight scene. Without doubt one of the best of the series!
