Like, Bond reconnecting with a former flame? That would actually be great for an entire film, but instead it’s relegated to a sacrificial lamb and not even done well.
Oh @MakeshiftPython's feelings about the music in that scene are well known, by this stage! :))
Missiles hit MakeshiftPython! Motherpussbucket!
I grant that same pardon to DAD. I know it's not a great movie, but I really think its good intentions as a Bond to beat them all on the anniversary are there. It's a shame it all ended up as a bit of an omelet with too many ingredients.
TND on the other hand is where I thought he really came into his own as 007.He just swaggers his way through the film in great style and helped along by David Arnold’s fantastic score.Elliot Carver is one of my favourite Bond villains,a guy who just LOVES being in the limelight and being evil! And as Iv mentioned before,this is where I was introduced to the fabulous Michelle Yeoh and Iv been a massive fan of her since.
When I was younger it was my favourite Brosnan Bond.These days TWINE tops it thanks it’s more mature tone and greater balance of action,humour, and drama,but TND will always be a top Bond for me and one I reach for when I’m in need of a pick me up ( Which I certainly needed lately after NTTD left me feeling depressed ).
I knight thee a Brosnan Defender Of The Realm!
Exactly. Like you read my mind.
I am honoured and will continue to serve as defender of all things Brosnan!

Which one shall we keep?
TND features the cringeworthy escape from the newspaper on a little scooter. Yes, those were fun to ride...when I was in kindergarten. And the let's-hit-everyone-with-musical-instruments fight is equally bad.
I actively dislike TND whenever I have the misfortune of thinking about it.
This. Which is why it falls squarely in the middle for me. It does generic Bond fantastically competently. Nothing more, nothing less.
I don't remember the little scooter? What scooter is this?
Honestly, if GE had a David Arnold soundtrack, I might like it even better than TND... but as it stands, TND is my favourite Brosnan flick (and as it happens, my third favourite Bond movie overall as well).
It's there near the end of the last page. I re-did it after I saw NTTD.
I will NOT accept anyone but Eric Serra for that film.
+1. Arnold is a favorite composer of mine, but GE’s soundtrack is so unique and perfect for it.
Eric Serra’s score for GE was atrocious.And it’s pretty clear that the producers thought so too given that they had the crucial Tank chase restored.I can only imagine that there was not enough time to rescore the entire film or get a suitable replacement for Serra at the time.
I remember being so disappointed with that aspect of GE so Arnold’s fantastic score to TND was a pure delight when I first saw the film.The film is improved immensely because of it.
To this day “ Backseat driver “ is one of my all time favourite action cues from the franchise.I really hope a complete edition of the score is released by La La Land at some point.
:D
I don't think it was atrocious, but I didn't like it when I saw the movie the first time, and in about 20 or so viewings I've never warmed to it. It's just okay IMHO.
