I can't stand GF (so overrated, full of stupid people and moments, Shirley Bassey) and OP has a decent second half (when all the Cold War-ish stuff really starts), while DAF and MR are just stupid movies (with some good moments, admittedly). Blood Stone, which has a good (albeit somewhat confusing) plot, great villains, that awesome Russian police/FSB guy at the end of the Siberia missions ("Do you know how much paperwork I'd have to file if there were WMDs on board?"), and: Daniel Craig, just works better.
Shirley Bassey is overrated (there's a controversial opinion), but GF is not. Without GF, the Bond franchise might not have lasted as long. GF's succes proved that people at the time loved the gadgets and over the topness, so if they had carried on in the same direction as the 1st two films, we might have a different franchise altogether or maybe even no Bond in 2012.
It doesn't make much sense anyway, Craig is almost 40 and he's a rookie agent? I would've just liked them to change the tone to a more realistic one without rebooting the franchise.
Agreed. Could have kept Brosnan til´2006 or 2008, and then brough in Craig.
But that would be terrible torture also! Bond would die and overeating is terrible. He would perhaps rather die painfully that that.
About the CR book, is Le Chiffre using the same torture as in the movie?
Sometimes I can't tell if you're being serious or if you're just trying to wind people up.
The CR book has more or less the same tortue, except Le Cheiffre uses a cane in the book, and a rope in the film. I think so anyway.
No, seriously, I would like it that way. It would be very funny, but still mean torture.
I think it was a carpet-beater
Yes that line is puke-inducing.
I think I need to, *gulp*, watch the scene again.
I thought it was one of CR's funnier moments.
And torture is supposed to be funny? I'm a sadist, and even I don't think torture is supposed to be funny! And what the f*** is it with you and obesity? Do you hate obese people?
Just a coincidence really.
Oh, so torture is funny to watch? Funny? I love funny movies, but I'd like to know what you have against serious movies. Why is serious wrong?
Yes, it is taking the practice of torture, a horrible activity to both perform and be victimized by, to be done in a campy way. Force feeding has no place in real torture techniques of today. Torture needs to be frightening from beginning to end to strike terror into the captive, and using Medieval or Russian torture techniques will surely do it, not force feeding.
Nothing against them, I like films like LTK and QOS. But I prefer when movies are not so serious. And normal torture is not funny to watch, but the threat of being force-fed with donuts would likely be. Of course Bond would be saved in the nick of time by Mr. White.
You will live your life missing out on the great films of all time. Absolutely shameful to think of it.
I really dont know why you waste your time (and ours) coming here 007RogerMoore. Surely there are Austin Powers forums you can visit to air your infantile and preposterous views?
Keep the Madagacar chase as it it, I love the embassy part especially and when Bond shoots something that explosed and flees, but not before killing the bomb maker.
Versper should have been a normal Bond girl who survives in this movie and never appears again. Scrap the love story.
The sinking house scene - keep it but exclude Vesper. Bond kills those guys and retrives the suitcase.
More things could be done. I respect if you love CR, but I try to make it fit me more.
I think that the lighter movies are a big part of the Bond franchise. I don´t think you have to relegate me to Austin Powers´ level because I am a fan of those kind of movies. I am first and foremost a Bond fan. After that I am a Moore fan.
I love a bit of Rog as much as the next man but how can you say that there should be a torture scene feeding Bond doughnuts and then claim you shouldnt be relegated to the Austin Powers level? How old are you 6?
Youre confusing a light hearted Roger Moore romp with just plain stupid. I dont even know why I'm bothering to argue with you except I'm bored at work.
Ok, well I am 21.
No, days actually.
;)
Oh, yes! You are right, I remember it now. Threehouse of horror, the devil force-feeding Homer.
I should have known.
