The 70's Bond movies are quite dated, in comparison - just look at their fashion. Which is a shame, as I feel the Bond pictures are timeless
Thankfully we had that hiatus and when they came back, Brosnan was in Brioni
Well fitted/well done. But yes, obviously it has to be well done to be err, well done.
Funny old cars, pay phones, communication devices the size of a loaf of bread. Buttons and toggle switches. Crude rear screen projection. Name it, all sorts of stuff we of 2015 can look back on with a contemporary smugness and a touch of embarrassment.
Bond films have always been emblematic of their times and often a little ahead. That they reflect the issues, ideas, fashions, and style of the year in which they were made, then yes, that makes them dated.
Does that detract from the enjoyment?
Exactly.
Indeed.
And it has not been equalled since. Not in Bond movies, not in any movie.
Watched FRWL again last night. This is a very good fight scene. The biggest change we would find today is in sound FX editing. Punches would thump and crackle more, and
furniture, doors, and windows would all break with much more explosiveness.
Absolutely. That fight is timeless. Even the lighting (dark, moody) suits it perfectly. One of the greatest imo.
Not one Bond movie of the 60's looks or feels dated. They are all timeless classics.
In the 70's that changed immediately and for me the 70's is the worst decade by far when it comes to movies.
Even the special effects in DN to TB still hold up very well, even on High Definition.
Connery is one of the true classic Hollywood stars.
Yeah....worse decade ever
I think he meant for James Bond. I hope so anyway.
Then tell me which decades are less good than the 70's.
They were not afraid to take risks with plot, or have heroes that couldn't get into a golf club or a nightclub, or give us downer endings.
were filmed last year. IMHO they looks like Period pieces, like
( The Man from Uncle) ;) is set in the 60s. :)
