I actually think the TSWLM score is a good and underrated Bond score.
I definitely agree with this.
A better act of deduction than my guess of 21 minutes.
I used to hate that score but lately I have started to like it more. Not sure if it's underrated but it's certainly not bad.
I love the TSWLM score.
Anyway, here's another controversial opinion (well, some of you might think it is), the P99 is a much cooler gun than the PPK, and going back to the PPK for QOS and now Skyfall was a mistake.
Slow or were they just made in a different era primarily for a different(pre-home video revolution/pre-cable TV/pre-MTV editing-style/pre-texting/pre-internet) audience?
I have to admit I don't really see how since TSWLM is the only Bond movie score to win an Oscar nomination for best score. That's an achievement that none of John Barry's Bond scores (sadly) never attained.
I like both guns, but for me, the PPK is the Bond gun, so I don't think it was a mistake bringing it back. I wouldn't have minded if they didn't either.
That's another way of putting it. But the result for me is the same when I watch them on DVD in either way. I prefer DN though, which isn't boring by a long shot IMO.
I'll have to watch the film again, because I don't remember most of its score.
I agree with this. Not only was it cooler, but it looks better in Craig's hands. Watch QoS, the PPK looks too small (specifically in the scene when Craig enters the bell tower at the beginning).
totally agree with you- the best era of Bond was The 80s (i mean The Living Daylights, For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy were great) followed by the 90s ( bah humbug to the haters- Brosnan was the man and Goldeneye was my childhood film)
Why do you think this? I'm really keen to know.
Like we talked about @Samuel001, you just have to brush it off. Some people are truly rolly polly.
I could say er, Jane Seymour was an ugly despicable woman who looked like the back of a bus, Tim Dalton was the worst James Bond ever and should of been fired out of a cannon into the Atlantic Ocean in 1986, er what else?, Honey Ryder was a most hideous and ugly Bond girl, I wish she had been hit by a giant wave in Doctor No as she came out the sea and washed back out into the ocean etc etc etc
Doesn't work for me I'm afraid but you see what I'm getting at
People give silly answers they don't really believe in or know is simply not the case but enjoy a bit of a fishing expedition, and know there will be a reaction of some kind, this has just been illustrated by above posts
Casino Royale's gun-barrell was fun and creative, and should continue being embedded in the action of the scene.
Exactly! Glad to here someone else recognizing the true Golden Era!
Why continue one thing just because its happened for so long? Did you not find it, feelings aside, creative? I wonder who thought of it..
It was a good innovative idea for the modernized, new era of Bond, but like Baltimore, I'd rather have the gunbarrel feature at the beginning of every Bond movie instead of the end of the PTS, or the end of the entire movie for that matter...ahem...(QoS).
2.) Sean Connery needed to be in OHMSS.
3.) George Lazenby is a bad Connery rip off.
4.) For Your Eyes Only is my least favorite Moore.
5.) I love Diamonds are Forever.
I definitely agree on #1,3, and 5. As for #2, I think Connery should have departed the series for good after Thunderball, because he really wasted some good Bond potential on YOLT especially, and was also a little out of style by DAF. Given the direction that DAF took, it would have suited Roger Moore perfectly! As for #4, FYEO is actually my favorite Moore Bond movie, followed closely by Octopussy and Live and Let Die.
You are spot on about Sean. He should have left after TB while on a high, instead of leaving in a seizure in DAF.
So let's see, Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice are in your Top 3? Wow, that's complete opposite of my rankings, where GF and YOLT are in the bottom three!
Finishing with OHMSS in dead last, correct @00Beast?
would David Morrissey make a good james bond?
IMO he was cooler, more relaxed, had more and better one-liners, was more charming and reminded me a little of Roger Moore. I would have liked to see Sean this way in all his films.
I think that the 1970s was the golden era of Bond, follwed by the 1990s and the 1980s.
I agree, Moore should have done YOLT and DAF (NSNA revived his career, so I will give him that one). Who was sensible at the time?
