Don't get me wrong I'm not a massive fan of that film either but the shots of Rio, Michael Lonsdale, Flight into Space and the training simulation scene give it the edge (for me).
As I mentioned a few weeks back I've also grown a new appreciation for Shirley Bassett's song as I was listening to it while having my teeth drilled by the dentist.
List of rating.
MR - 10
LaLD - 11
Moore is not as super comfortable as he was in MR; it’s very dated; no John Barry score and it has Sherriff Bloody Pepper, but I still like LALD!
Nice BAIN. I used to not be a fan of the MR title track. But it's really grown on me the more I hear it. It's now easily a top 3 Bond track for me. It's definitely a grower. And what better way to send you off in the a peaceful bliss while sitting in a dentists chair awaiting the drill, then Ms. Bassey and her sultry voice.
All right, next round begins now!
You Only Live Twice vs. Tomorrow Never Dies
Superior Bond, Superior Villain, Superior Locations, Superior Score, Superior Title Track, Superior Bond Golden Age atmosphere, Superior Gadgets, Superior Supporting cast, Superior Bond girls all around, Superior Direction...did I miss anything? #:-S
All right, time to see what's better about TND than YOLT
Better 007: Check
Better Soundtrack: Check
Better Action: Check
Better Villains: Check
Better Gadgets: Check
Better Girls: Neither are prize winners, but I still say Check because of Wai Lin
Better Locations: Check
Well that about does it! TND wipes the floor with YOLT!
I see that we will agree to disagree Sir
That about covers it I think.
YOLT for me as well.
Captivating you say? Sorry, but I can't stand the YOLT theme song. When I was putting the Bond theme songs onto my MP3 Player from a friend's CD, I purposefully left off YOLT!
TND is Brosnan's best outing, so ranks 4th from bottom for me.
YOLT on the other hand used to be way down my ranking, untill I saw the light, and it jumped right up them.
So after a little thought, I'm going to give it to the epic...YOLT
