The Major dislikes On Her Majesty's Secret Service? Finally! I thought I'd never find someone who shared my opinion! And yes, just to support DC on this one, I do agree, it is ridiculous to say that one is not a Bond fan if they don't like The Spy Who Loved Me. It's a good Bond movie in my opinion, but not top ten worthy in my book. Barbara Bach's wooden acting really does it in, but there are other factors, including the fact that I simply don't always get the Bond sensation whenever I watch TSWLM. Sometimes I feel a little bored when watching it, though let it be known I said sometimes.
Back on topic.......
I vote GE, as it is my second favourite Bond film. Spy is top 5 though!!
He has it at #4 overall in his rankings. How does he hate it?
I think that's his 2012 rankings because he's rewatching the films.
Yeah, GE would definetly win, but it is the better film. I was gonna say CR vs GE but CR vs anything on here is unfair because of how many Craig fans there are.
But some do genuinely dislike Goldeneye so why not give it a whirl, those same people might hold QOS in high regard and it could be a close contest
I would vote GE too, my 3rd favourite Bond film, and Brosnan is my 2nd favourite Bond. But sadly alot of members on here love Craig, and others (or some of the same people) bash Brosnan.
Moonraker is a good fun and lively effort and a hundred times better than QOS in all sorts of ways I don't need to elaborate on
But Die Another Day - I think we've already done that, and they're quite so equally bad I wouldn't know quite what to pick anyway
Ideally, Beast should pick something like, er
The Man with the Golden Gun VS Octopussy
now, that would be a good debate, if it hasn't been done that is
I merely disapprove, or hold it in a less favorable light than some others
It's a bad Bond release with a whole lot of shakin' going on, but I don't have any real loathing for it, I don't hate any Bond release, I just think it's poor and one of the weakest entries of the entire franchise, Hate is too strong a word, it's still a part of the James Bond series, it may be a piece of crap release even, but nevertheless, still part of the Bond series
Let's hope they do better next time and all, but I have a range of opinions on Bond, but never usually anything so extreme, it is still Fleming's creation after all..
That's not true. I think QoS would put up a good fight, and CR has lost before. It wouldn't beat GE because Craig has more fans than Brosnan. It would win because it is the better Bond and film.
Well when someone experiences distaste for QoS, I surmise they just don't like the film, as many on here don't. My apologies.
Your opinion. Me and alot of others prefer GE and Brosnan.
Agreed with MR's soundtrack being better than TSWLM's, but that's where I draw the line. Spy is much more Bondian, and as far as Bond movies go, I don't want a farcical send up of Star Wars and Matt Helm. Bond movies should never be a farce or a spoof, that's best left to to other film makers. MR is a spoof of Bond spoofs and that is what makes the film a joke that I don't find amusing at all. Brosnan's first two movies put MR to shame, even TWINE is a lot more watchable. Only DAD is worse than MR, and in quite a few parts it's much better and more Bondian.
I do think a new round of Bond movies is much needed too
I like the ones that are too close to call rather than having one release that is going to cream it's rival etc. A good example of this for me, would be for instance, From Russia With Love and Live and Let Die. Something for Beast to consider maybe
I don't think anyone knows. There seemed to be more discussing than voting.
Funny that, I got the impression TSWLM was running away with the win until I actually started counting the votes. Maybe everyone should keep the discussion to another thread in the next time, it makes it very hard to keep count of votes.
The discussion is why I enjoy the thread. But I do think each competition should have the same amount of time, after which we move on to a new one. If it's a tie it's a tie, that has happened on this thread before (TSWLM and FYEO). how about the three "golds" (GF, TMWTGG and GE). I think we may have done GF v GE already, but TMWTGG v each of the others might be interesting.
