    Wint and Kidd are the best part of DAF and it’s not close. They’re great.

    It would have been for sure. It was just too soon to go for the silly tone, coming off of OHMSS and using Connery rather than Moore. The PTS coming off of OHMSS is just... not good.

    True they jettisoned arc for perceived box office receipts post OHMSS

    The newspaper factory scene in TND is good not great

    I like that part. Honestly, besides the climax, I love all of TND’s action scenes.

    The action is great though the other scenes are substandard filler unfortunately.

    Depends for me. It can be spotty, but I do mostly like the first two-thirds of it. I think Brosnan himself was a really good Bond, but his films just got progressively weaker.

    Must admit Bond walking down the street in Germany with over the shoulder shots and Arnold playing the Bond Theme I was buzzing in the cinema, I hummed TND themes constantly.

    I really like the lift fight in DAF. It’s a highlight.

    That is intense very well choreographed, one of the best fight scenes in the series.

    Credit to Brosnan he brings intensity to scenes that are badly orchestrated

    He carries his Bond films post-GE most of the way (he’s good in GE too, but so are several other things), to be honest.

    General Chang the most underdeveloped character in Bond history.

    Better than DAF for my taste. Though this viewing of DAF is going a little bit better than usual. It will still be near the bottom unfortunately.
