AVTAK's got bad girls, old Moore and weak plot.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, DAD was good up until Iceland when things got crazy. AVTAK, Moore is too old but it's still a fun film with a great villian and a great theme song.
Yeah its a good idea but I dont understand why nobody (Babs and MGW have to shoulder the responsibility here) put their foot down when the stunt team said it would be impossible to do for real. At that point it should just be binned. Maybe Tamahori is just an amazing salesman and somehow managed to convince everyone that the legacy that Cubby had built over decades should just be pissed all over for the sake of getting a bit of a crossover from the retarded XXX audience.
(Thats a vote for AVTAK by the way).
But I'd have to go for AVTAK. It's my third least favourite Bond movie, DAD is second, and DAF is the winner (or loser, rather).
Die another Day on the other hand is all about Bond. Sure, it’s riddled with nods to the past, but I think that’s what makes it so fun. We have Halley Berry pretending she’s Ursula Andress, John Cleese reminiscing over all the past bond gadgets, a satellite that’s straight out of Diamonds are Forever, a car chase to end all car chases, a villains layer that harkens back to Piz Gloria, and a villain who is like a cross between Blofeld and Kim Jong Il, only aged and strengthed to match Bond. Granted, it is WAY over the top, but at least it’s entertaining on a bunch of different levels. AVTAK isn’t entertaining at all…
Count me in for Die Another Day
AVTAK, IMHO, is the second worst Bond film. When I do these votes I always pick the ones that I can watch over and over again. DAD is one that I can watch many more times over from AVTAK.
-"Just surviving Mr Chang...just surviving"
-"It seems Mr Zao has lost himself in Havana...when you find him say goodbye from us"
"with pleasure"
I'd add these to the list as well:
(click, click; P99 out of bullets)
Miranda Frost: "It was so good of you to bring your gun to bed with us."
Bond: "Yes...occupational hazard." (throws P99 aside)
General Moon: "Now for the last time, who was it!? Who made him betray his country and his name?"
Bond: "The same person who betrayed me."
Bond: (pointing to M) "And what do you think?"
Yep. Brosnan along with Pike and Dench were the best things in that film (and perhaps Kenneth Sang who plays General Moon).
Indeed, one of the best parts of the movie, even though it is saddening, was when Gustav Graves/Colonel Moon electrocuted and then shot Daddy Moon at point blank range. Gives me chills every time!
20. A View to a Kill (1985) - 5.5/10
21. Die Another Day (2002) - 5/10
Good to see someone without DAD at the very bottom of their list. Just wondering, what's at number 22?
Hear, hear!
Anyway, A View To A Kill for me, it has Walken and Barry going for it.
Thanks Agent, I think we'll call it now. (Sigh) I was hoping that this would be a little closer, but I guess not! Okay, here's the next line-up. Take your pick!
On Her Majesty's Secret Service vs. Casino Royale
