That would explain it ! ;)
But still, DAD is a top 10 outing for me while TWINE, CR and QOS are 20st, 21st and 22nd respectivly.
I dont want to be rude but...
=)) =)) =)) =)) =))
"Just surviving Mr Chang - just surviving" (always makes me smile)
"Do it...now get out...unless you really want to give me a massage"
"It's the addition of the Volado tobacco...slow burning...it never goes out"
The scene with M in the abandoned underground station ("maybe its time you let me get on with my job")
"Does this still work"
And also they rely on super hero flicks too much.
And we're back to the brosnan bashing, again....
I liked TWINE, I think its brosnans best film along with TND.
DAD, I like most of it. It would probably be my favourite bond film if the final part was re-written. I loved all of it up until the end of the iceland scenes. I can get past the invisible car, but I hated the CGI action, and the giant diamond laser.
And brosnan is a great bond, who is a good actor and is very close to flemming, he's my 2nd favourite bond, but can't top dalton ;)
Johnny english is decent enough, and austin powers is just hilarious. There's nothing cringeworthy about either of them.
right, because being the 6th highest grossing film of 2002 would kill the franchise.... most people in hollywood would kill to make a film as successfull as DAD.
7 billion people in the world, many of them move capital around. How many of them have taste and are not plain stupid? Point being, how much money a film makes isn´t an indicative of it´s quality. Anyone who thinks that belongs in the group of people I mentioned...the stupid ones.
I like austin powers. But I also like johnny english and most of DAD. Brosnan>>>craig anyway.
Edit: Just now I realised I was responding to you DC007. I´ll be off then. Cheers ;)
Also love Johnny English, though I haven't seen the new one. Is it as good as the first?
Even if it was bad quality (which alot of it isn't), then it STILL wouldn't have killed the franchise. It was still making money, more films would've been made, and DAD didn't actually get as much hate at the time as it does now. Plus, after every insane bond film (MR, YOLT), they have a more low key one, so we would've got a more realistic film afterwards anyways.
I like CR but the reboot wasn't really needed and in no way did it save the franchise, because DAD came nowhere near killing it.
The plots more complex but I think its as good as the 1st. And I agree about goldmember, I think it was good but nowere near as funny as the other 2. Lets hope austin powers 4 will be better.
Where did I say box office numbers meant quality ? I merely said a sequel that ended up as the 6th highest grossing film of its year wouldn't kill a franchise. If the film was bad they'd just reboot the franchise, if the film was well-received they'd make a DAD 2. The fact is no franchise will ever die with a top 6 grossing film of the year, no matter how badly-received the film is. A movie as successful as DAD cannot kill a franchise. All it would do is give birth to a reboot.
DAD didn't come close of killing the franchise. Get that fact in your head. Without DAD there wouldn't be Craig or CR's, so you should be thankful that DAD was made.
IMO the 2nd one was better.
Which...they did. Finally, some common ground eh DC007? So, by your logic, the film was bad. Bazinga!
No, it was just badly received. Which doesn't mean I have to follow the opinion of those who didn't like it. Everyone had to follow the opinion of the majority, it would suck, because everyone would love the same films and hate the same films. Where would be the fun in debating if everyone had the same opinions ?
I'm 20, so i grew up with Brosnan.
No worries - glad to debate with someone with opposites views :)>-
The amount of abuse you would take just to prove a point, DC my man, is admirable to say the least. :) ;-)
I admit I have some very particuliar tastes in movies :) I don't think I will ever find anyone that follow the same opinions I have.
While it's easy to be critical of Brozza bashing the chap is a sport for Luds.
I've got used to it.
On the top of my head: Schindler's List, Senna, The Mission (1999 hong kong film), Full Monty, Trainspotting, Raiders of the lost ark, Up, Saving Private ryan.....
