I see. I ignored those elements as you suggested they might've tailored the film for Dalton. I'd imagine had Dalton been Bond in AVTAK, they would've toned down the silliness and cast different actors. Therefore I don't see how it could've destroyed his tenure. In terms of the story, the film is relatively grounded, and would be a reasonable first film for a new Bond actor.
Always liked All Time High. One of those Bond songs I find myself humming now and then.
It comes on the radio a lot. Have always like it!
The film would have needed drastic modifications with Dalton in it. Or Brosnan for that matter. But was the public ready to let Moore go at that point, as well as his kind of Bond movies? (Although AVTAK often feels like a caricature of a Moore Bond.) I'm not sure.
Crows song was my favorite until Cornell's You Know My Name
I think Zorin is one of the worst villains of the franchise. Too youthful, not menacing enough, too comedic without being funny. Too Christopher Walken as well.
+1
Also I’m glad Fukunaga is a AVTAK fan. I hope he draws some inspiration from it, namely perhaps a new power couple for villains. If done well I’d love that.
Erm correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Fukunaga ever specifically stated that he was a fan of AVTAK. Although he did say it was the first JB film he saw.
He didn’t say so directly, but it’s still the first one he talked about after being asked “What’s your favorite Bond film?” Him jumping to that and it being his first certainly means it has a special place for him.
I've was pretty harsh on OP in another thread, but I must say that "All Time High" is one of the best Bond songs ever.
Wish we could have similar songs in modern Bond films.
It does? Wish the radio channels over here had the same playlists!
Wish we could have similar songs in modern Bond films too. It's such a nice song.
Me too, Zorin makes my top 5 villains and May Day is definitely top 10 henchperson too. Great duo.
Then again, I can't say I find nothing to like in any of the Bond songs. Even my least favorites (WOTW and DAD) I can listen to quite easily.
A bit too if you ask me, or they should've reanimated her before starting filming. The rest I agree with.
I think she was just the right age for 1983 Moore Bond.
Oh I wasn't referring to her actual age, more her acting.
Sorry, my bad!
Think her acting is perfectly fine though. Unfortunately the same can't be said of all the Moore era Bond girls…
Maybe the MI6 agent or the other woman.
It's a bit "cringey" when the age difference between the Bonds and the Bond girls are getting bigger, isn't it. 17 years age difference is noticeable…
I am glad he is doing Bond 25, but yes he is getting old for Bond. It's also a reason to cast a relatively young actor for his successor.
Surrender is a far superior song to TND. It links into the score perfectly too.
Damn right.
