More plausible plot, better villains, better action, and I prefer Brosnan over Moore with these two.
17. The World Is Not Enough (1999) - 6/10
18. Diamonds Are Forever (1971) - 5.5/10
19. Moonraker (1979) - 5.5/10
As opposed to Roger in a wet, grey shirt?:

*shrugs shoulders* Oh, well. Each to their own, I guess... :-??
;)
TWINE is instead Brosnan's second best film, after Goldeneye. It has a great villaness a great henchman (yes I consider Renard more like a henchman than a villain). The only three buts are: 1 the Bond girl, 2 the guy with those wierd teeth and 3 Zukowski dieing. Even though part of the PTS is made in the city I hate most (Bilbao, I'm from San Sebastian and almost all of San Sebastian's inhabitants hate Bilbao) I still like it.
So yes my vote goes to TWINE
Couldn't have put it better myself. If I can use one word to describe TWINE it's pretentious. Atleast MR is honest about what it is.
Throw in a Roger Moore on form ('You missed, Mr Bond!' 'Did I?' *sniper falls from tree*. Just perfect.) a beautifully haunting soundtrack from John Barry, a villain in Michel Lonsdale who has enough great lines to fill four movies, a director in Lewis Gilbert who just knows how to pull off such epics, and the overall eye-popping audacity of the whole thing, and you have a formidable production. Not for everyone, of course, but a huge, swaggering, leviathan of a Bond film.
Moonraker achieved an Academy Award Nomination (for Best Visual Effects) which places it in a rare spot among the Bond films.
As Cubby Broccoli said with justifiable pride, on the Moonraker set, "WE know how to do these things!"
Yes you did, Cubby, and we miss you.
It isn't my favourite Bond by a long shot, but, taking the film on its own terms, as epic, twinkling, unpretentious escapism at its most bold, count a proud vote for Moonraker from me.
MR : 2nd
MR by a landslide.
Yes and Yes. Plus Corinne, Manuel and a much better use of locations. Moonraker.
Brosnan is a stronger bond
Denise Richards is hot
the plot is far more interesting
Denise Richards is hot
the locations are amazing
Denise Richards is hot
the action is much better
Did i metion Denise Richards being in the film and being super hot?
Plus bond isn't in space. Why Cubby why fight George Lucas?
Beautifully argued Mr Jones_The_Bond, beautifully argued.
However, while I'm not the biggest MR fan (the last time I saw it I was squirming) I suppose it is superior for all the reasons above.
I like TWINE but MR edges it.
Where do we go in TWINE? A couple of oilfields in central Asia. People moan about disjointed QoS but TWINE is far far worse. Why the hell did that bomb go off iin the Istanbul safehouse?
MR by a landslide. TWNE is one of the worst. If not the worst.
The bomb went off because Goldie tried to kill Zukovski and Bond.
Why? Because he felt like it?
So he could go off and freely be villainous with Electra and Renard I suppose. The evil plan was nearing its execution so Bullion needed to be nearer to them and not be tied down by Robbie Coltrane or Bond.
Real post-Soviet Caucasus, seūy villainess, good Richards' performance. And good action/love proportion, while Moonraker's got lots of actions only in the end, and a little of love. Bigger time of film is that nothing... (better, than nothing of GF).
:)) :)) :))
It could be heard in strange, but, for me it's better than Chiles' one.
What should I do? :D
Im watching AVTAK as Im typing this. Another underrated Moore entry IMO. Out of curiosity where does it rank for you?
