Cmon, I've defended you on here before but there was no reason for this apart from to moan and to get everybody else moaning.
Tamahori has made some great films outside of Bond so I put lots of DADs problems down to the script.
Brosnan was one of DADs good points, so was Pike, so I don't get the better actor and better women thing (excluding Halle Berry).
This dreadlocked chap is so out of place, working in such an establishment that, for me, it is quiet a jolt.
It is blatant pandering to what the producers, I suppose, consider a cool, hip-hop, trendy market. Yikes.
I still struggle. That movie gives me the chills everytime I think about it ;)
Was actually trying to give it and Brozza a second chance. I'd read so many posts claiming the first part of DAD was good and it was actually Brosnans best performance that I felt I should watch it again. But it is utterly awful, as is Brosnans acting. It might be going over old ground so is practically every thread on here. Even SF feels done to death.
And Bain there's only one person who looks fatter than Pierce in this film and it isn't your dad... It's (insert Purvis and Wade line here).
What was needless about it? DAD was on the TV last night and I thought I should give it another chance. I saw it at the cinema almost decade ago and hadn't watched it since. But I had to turn it off after half an hour because it is so unremittingly poor. And yes I felt the need to express my feelings about it but I thought that was the point of this site. I did try and find a dedicated DAD review thread but this was as close as I could find.
Even Craig could not save that mess through his performance and due to his role in rewriting the script.
Don't kid yourself. We both know that was NEVER going to happen.
Some folks will never be convinced and will take any chance to bash DAD or Brosnan. Now if you tried that with Craig or TDKR you would be considered a hater. :D
There has been taken considerable effort to be hurtfull and nasty to Pierce and his movies on this site, there has not been any balanced threads about either here for a long time. So go figure the use of visiting these threads since it is full of the usual suspects with nothing else than "sometimes creatively" insulting a generations 007. Mostly it is the same drivel based upon personal observations biased by a lack of knowledge, and youthfull lack of experience. O:-)
You have seriously piqued my interest here. Just what constitutes your bottom 3 exactly then?
I've seen enough on the trailer to say with 100% certainty that SF will be infinitely better than DAD. With the talent on board (that doesnt include you P&W) its simply impossible for it not to be.
It was needless because we already know how you feel about DAD and you only bumped this thread to have a moan. I seriously doubt you were ever going to give it a fair chance.
There's a review section with a thread for every Bond film, you could've always posted it there.
I agree with you. This thread is a great example. Scroll up and there's a guy calling Brosnan fat and too old. Nobody seems to care. Saying Moore was too old, Dalton had no charm, all this is fine apparently.
But if I went on another thread and started bashing Craig then we'd have a thread pop up about how the haters should go away.
I like all the Bonds, and I don't think any should get nasty comments. But it seems alot of the time there are things on this site that aren't allowed to be criticised while slagging off other stuff is fine.
I think if I feel the need to vent on something I feel strongly about I don't need your permission. If you don't like it, then don't read it and post a reply. This is not aimed at you, but those throwing insults and constantly shouting others down need take a deep breath, calm down a bit and accept that there are different opinions out there other than their own.
We all know DAD wasn't very good and we all know you don't like Brosnan. That's fine, you can like/dislike what you want, nothing wrong with giving out your opinion, but it's all the time with you. You're always on about how bad you think him and his films were.
If I understamd the thread coreectly, which I probably didn't to start with, it is obvious there is no DAD curse. SF is obviously going to be much, much better.
Lets cross our fingers and hope so, and I do not think it will be worse than the last 007 movie. Nothing can be that bad.............. O:-)
Can't argue with that.
Anything is better than DAD. :-))
I thing the poorest thing about the entire film is every scene where Bond has to speak to a woman, every line is a poorly written innuendo, particulary every scene with Jinx, just terrible, unnessary dialogue.
Every scene WITH Jinx is unneccessary.
Nah. DAD isn't that bad, there's lots of good stuff. There are much worse films out there.
Sure there can. DAD. MR. TWINE. Can probably think of a few more. Craig hater ;) :D
20. Quantum of Solace (Still a decent film but it's poorly put together)
21. A View to a Kill (Moore was too old and I didn't find the plot to be all that exciting)
22. For Your Eyes Only (I find this to be the most boring and the ending to be anti-climactic)
I had to think about what I would place as my # 20, so I think QOS will move up in my ranking from time to time. AVTAK and FYEO will, most likely, remain at the bottom of my list. Despite some of the flaws DAD has, bad CGI and Jinx, it's still fun to watch.
Brosnan hater ;)
I think TWINE and the first halves of DAD and MR are pretty good.
Ha ha ha. You know I don't hate any Bond actor. There's always something good in every Bond film and every individual lead actor performance, it's just a question of what it was and how much quality and quantity. All three you mention have their moments like any Bond film, of course, but I happen to find more of them in QOS than I do in those three, hence why I prefer it. Some like it way more than I do, but then some concentrate way more on the negatives of it and seem to go out of their way not to acknowledge the good stuff. In short, those folks aren't very fair in their commentary. At least QOS has legitimate reasons that hindered the script and overall production. DAD had not two, but three years and every good reason to deliver a superior story and failed miserably in any comparison.
I see more positives in TWINE than MR and DAD. Those two start shooting themselves in the foot right from the start between Jaws and unrealistic stunt work, faking deaths, ugh. For every thing done right they do three things wrong. TWINE gets off to a great start, the best PTS in the Brosnan era for sure, but a lot of the script I find to be shoddily written and some questionable casting choices don't help.
As far as this "curse", I believe if there was one, Tamahori was it. Mendes is far too good to allow that mess to reoccur.
I am truly shocked to see FYEO at #22 from Q's Assistant. A Cold War throwback to the Connery days featuring Moore's best performance deserves better than to be ranked below half of the canon.
