+2. I’ll go CR/NTTD as well.
It’s got some fans, and I suspect if it were showing on TV most people would say it’s ok (not sure if anyone would say it’s the best Bond film, but I’ve seen more general audience dislike of DAD, and I’d say that’s better than TWINE). I’m not sure it holds up to us constantly talking about it, rewatching particular scenes (I’d say it’s one of the weakest Bond films in terms of filmmaking), and discussing all its missed opportunities.
Yes, I agree. I don't hate TWINE like some do, I think it has many good elements and tried hard (perhaps too hard) to bring more depth to Bond, but I also think Apted, who was a fine director in his own right, didn't have a strong handle on Bond and allowed Brosnan to overact in some scenes, which he sometimes still does to this day, just check out his performance in the heavy handed so-called crime comedy, The Outlaws.
