Nope.Everything Or Nothing is a better final Bond “ film “ than NTTD.
Though yes I’d agree The Rock is miles better and more entertaining than NTTD.
I find the story quite interesting, the dialogue inspiring and the performances absolutely brilliant, especially Sir Alec's.
A Michael Bay film over NTTD? :-D This has to be the first time you and I disagree about anything, @chrisisall. ;-)
I don't disagree, @MaxCasino. Wayne was a big star but not the greatest thespian, IMO.
He probably thought emotions were for wimps. He was of that generation.
T1 was a horror movie and a sci-fi in the truest sense. T2 was a commercial big-budget action movie with less suspense and more explosions.
I like them both quite a lot, but I also prefer 1. They’re totally different.
I'll meet you in the middle: TT = T2.
Both are different films that play in different genres, but both excel in those. One is a chilling horror film, a sci-fi update of the stalker/slasher genre, a tense survival mission. The other is a relentless actioner full of memorable set pieces, exciting sequences and lots of inventive, innovative, state-of-the-art technical achievements. I disagree that T2 has less suspense than TT; the suspense is simply manufactured in different ways.
I like the part were Faisal says that Lawrence is better at lying than the other Brits.
That is a very good moment, indeed.
To me, they have. I say I don’t remember the smallest thing, and they get up into my face, and tell the book and page number. This has happened more than once.
Personally I quite like both the HP books and the HP films. My generation grew up with those and I’m rather fond of them.
Wouldn’t consider myself a fan in the sense that I’m a Bond fan, but I’d say HP is one of the few film series outside Bond that I revisit regularly.
(Only the HP films though, not the FB ones).
The imdb top 250 is a heavily biased metric. Most of the voters are males, age 20-40. Hence, superhero and male fantasy movies are over-represented. Movies with female leads are underrepresented.
What’s your source for those stats?
I know you said it’s an opinion, but you’re talking about quantitative parameters.
IMDB's websites show statistics, for each individual film, on the demographics that rate the films. Example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/ratings?ref_=tturv_ql_4
In many of them, men outweight women 5 to 1. And on a lot of the choices in the top 250, men rate them ~0.3 points higher, which is a meaningful difference considering thousands of films are on a decimal point system.
Isn't that the one where Shawshank Redemption is top? ;))
"Aqaba!"
"Aqaba!"
"It's only a model."
"On second thought, let's not go to Aqaba. 'Tis a silly place."
I like the part where literally anything happens at any moment because Lawrence of Arabia is THE movie.
I like both Lawrence and Kwai, but I’ve always been more a Zhivago fan myself :)
I have seen it, but several decades ago. I did like it well enough at the time.
I tend to agree. The first one was a neat little horror and scifi thriller. Is even say that it did not warrant a sequel.
Me too! I love David Lean in general, but I thought I was the only one who rates Dr Zhivago as his best film. Nice to know there are more of us ;)
Well as James Bond said in LTK “ It’s a mans world “.
Robocop
Very much agree @cooperman2
It does Judge Dredd far better than the two Dredd movies (much as I like the latest one)
The satirical tone is spot on with regards to the Judge Dredd comics.
