When you consider QOS has Bond not ending up with a girl, the film not starting with a gun barrel, cringeworthy singing in the theme, awful editing that ruins beautiful scenery/action, the length of movie being far too short, and the film's scipt writing problems, I see this as a no-brainer. In fact, all this and the lack of MP and Q would make QOS far less of a Bond movie compared to LTK. Over all, QOS is above many films in the series but it could have been so much better in my opinion, especially with the expectations after CR. I think SF will blow both Craig films out the water.
PS - I would have voted MR in the previous round.
But must say the more I watch QoS the more and more I like it, feel tempted to move it up on my list.
List of rating
LTK - 9
QoS - 15
I totally agree on most parts on what you say here.
There is a reason why QoS was made the way it was and I truly believe that down the year more and more people will respect it for what it is. I for one like the gun barrel at the end of QOS it sort of end the story that started at CR with QoS being a direct sequel. I recommend you to read this but only if you want to. http://www.money-into-light.com/2012/03/bigger-picture-quantum-of-solace-marc.html?m=1
Wish they can add a "Delete Comment" next to the Edit one.
Interesting link, thanks. Whilst the uniqueness of QOS in years to come will be more evident, I don't think it will have the same later-date appeal which the likes of OHMSS, TLD and LTK have increasingly had over the years. Still, time will tell...
Licence To Kill wins.
I believe it was 9-19 in favor of FYEO.
10. Licence to Kill (1989) - 7.5/10
11. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) - 7/10
12. Octopussy (1983) - 7/10
13. For Your Eyes Only (1981) - 7/10
14. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - 7/10
15. Live and Let Die (1973) - 7/10
16. Quantum of Solace (2008) - 6/10
;)
Yeah, nostalgia always plays a major part in determining rankings and all that. One good reason for me ranking GE and FRWL as highly as I do is just pure nostalgia, among other, stronger reasons as well.
This.
You Only Live Twice vs. Tomorrow Never Dies
TND has the legendary Dr Kaufman scenes.
Bond escaping Carvers' warehouse
Bond's "lost at sea...adrift" retort.
YOLT on the other hand is saturated with iconography. Too much for me to really go into but to name a few, Blofeld's face reveal, Blofeld's pirahnah pool, the mountain base raid
Tiger Tanaka
Henderson
Bond vs The Rock's grandaddy in Osato towers
Helge Brandt and her healthy chest
Little Nelly
The PTS
The score and cinematography
Both films are nowhere being the best of the respective actor's outings but if I had to chose for the sake of picking a winner I pick YOLT.
Gotta go with You Only Live Twice. It's in my top 3.
This should have been a no-brainer, but I found myself seriously considering voting TND. For some reason it's starting to become my favourite of Brosnan's and slowly climbing my ranking of the films.
I will say this though - Brosnan's TND performance is better than Connery's in Twice IMO.
Good call. I love all 4 of these outings.
