AVTAK for not having parasailing CGI on the Seine.
I actually enjoy AVTAK and don't rank it amongst the worst in the series, although I don't have it in the upper echelon either. It falls somewhere in the middle, whereas DAD is one of the worst in the series by a healthy margin.
DAD made me want to give up on Bond forever.
List of ratings.
AVTAK - 18
DAD - 22
Die Another Day is about as far from 'classic' Bond, as it is possible to go.
I'd go for Sir Rog's final bow, over Brosnan's, any day of the week.
DAD I mean AVTAK
AVTAK may have felt sleepy but at least it has Christopher Walken in it.
:)) at Moore parasailing on the Seine
Vs
It has the John Barry score.
I'm going to pick DAD. It may not be one of the best films in the series, but it does have 1 o2 two things in it's favour. AVTAK however, is the worst film in the series, and has nothing going for it.
I will take the Beach boys music in AVTAK a thousand times over the cgi tsunami any day of the week.
They actually went to Iceland and Switzerland to film that. They made the effort. In DAD they stuck Pierce in front of a green screen, put him in a harness and told him to grimace alot.
It was awful. As a Bond fan on first viewing I was hanging my head in shame. Cubby Broccoli would have paid for a second unit to go to Greenland, Spitzbergen, the Antarctic and done it for real.
Under Tamahori it was grubby green screen time. But hey, says Lee - you have to get with the kids..
According to the directors commentary the idea came from Tamahori after he'd seen a chunk of glacier fall off. I suppose it wasn't a bad idea in principle but in practice :-&
I'll go with AVTAK.
- it is actually quite good- i still like Die Another Day...lets say that both films are better than Qantum of Solace...
O ye of little faith. I'll make it 3 votes for DAD since aside from Jinx, I find it quite entertaining for the first 1/2 to 2/3 up until it turns from a movie into a CGI videogame after Bond learns of Miranda's treachery.
Agree there.
Die Another Day
