Agreed about Koskov. I wonder who Whitaker is supposed to be based on. TLD was released around the time of the Iran-Contra affair.
Bond's suit that he wears in TLD when he brings the goods from Harrods to Koskov, M et al is horrendous.
Necros is by far the last legitimate henchman we've seen in the series thus far.
Silva is ridiculously overrated
Robert Brown's M is underrated
The amount of MI6/Q/MP screen time in TLD should be used as a blueprint for their screen time for Bond 24 and the foreseeable Movies on the series for a good while.
Loved Silva--I think that he's one of the best Bond villains ever.
That is an approximation of truth for certain. Hope we can get a good henchman in B24.
Well there was Onnatop, and I quite like Dario.
I agree with this. They got enough screen time to make an impact, but not too much.
I don't think he's really underrated but he's not as dull as people make out. He was alright in the Moore films but I thought he was great in Dalton's films, especially LTK. I like how different his relationship with Dalton was (very cold, almost untrusting).
Can't agree with that. I think he's up there with Goldfinger, Sanchez, etc, as one of the best. I thought he was brilliant and that Bardem gave the best performance in Skyfall. A creepy, flamboyant, deformed, evil bisexual psychopath. Loved him.
Dario, yes-how could I forget. He was good. Well, not "good" as in a Goody-two-shoes, but you know what I mean.
Hmmm.... :))
Not in that way! :P
There are grounds to argue that Connery was the worst Bond. I don't think he was, not even close, but there are valid arguments.
Worst? Let's hear them. How could anyone argue George Lazenby was better?
As a whole, you can't really argue Laz was better, but he had advantages over Connery, such as being a more human Bond and possibly better in action scenes.
-Indifferent about title song
-Action was okay, but very limited until the end
-Indifferent again, felt like most Connery movie endings
My biggest issue with FRWL is just that it loses my attention in a few scenes, and took a really long time to get going. It's not bad, but it's always been the most overrated Bond film to me.
Agreed.
Agreed here; I've been saying for a long time now that it has become unfairly underrated. Sure it's a bit dated, but it's also one of the most entertaining. It's my third favorite Connery film; as for FRWL, it beats TB and DAF for me, but DN, GF, and YOLT are my favorites from Connery's tenure.
I think that it may be underrated because it was the 5th film and by that time there may have been a bit of Bond fatigue, so now it's sort of overlooked. It's better than Dr. No and Thunderball, IMHO.
Hmm perhaps. I prefer DN still (its simplicity is a huge strength, and I think it's still one of the most intriguing of all 23), but YOLT is a respectable third for me. TB also suffered from boring segments like FRWL, and I wasn't a fan of the underwater scenes. DAF was just too cheesy and weak compared to the first five.
4th in quality? DAF for 5th? Is TB your 6th?
There are no bad James Bond films.
I just watched that the other day and I never tire of it. Yes, it's a but cheesy, but it's so much fun.
IMHO DAD is of the same quality as the other Brosnan-era films. I never understood why people single it out as being poor quality. It's an escapist, enjoyable joyride.
