It has its moments but not much worth writing about. And I say this as someone with TLD ranked #1
It does. Some of the early stuff in Austria looks very good.
I like Glen but I can't help but think that he lacks a certain...dynamic flair maybe.
You get the impression that it was "a job" rather than any real passion for the character. He was good with the action scenes as was shown during his work as editor but I do agree that sometimes his style felt a bit lightweight bar some exceptions.
Up against the likes James Cameron and Renny Harlin (popular action directors in the early 90s) Glen would look like old hat.
Yeah I think it's telling that he didn't have much of a directorial career outside of Bond.
yeah I agree.
Yes that sounds right.
Indeed. Also, I think a lot of the humour in those films seems very dated now.
@BAIN123 if you think the Glen films look dated you should do a quick rewatch of the 95-02 films.
I'm not denying that those films have dated too.
However, I still think that GoldenEye looks better today than LTK does with the exception of the tanker chase.
LTK's main flaw visually is its cheap looking interior sets. GE was definitely a step up in that regard.
Furthermore, I would argue that it is GE which looks so flat and dull, not LTK.
Both though do look like tv movies compared to the likes of the 60s films, MR and CR
Then again, like ive said before, GE is MY MOST WATCHED BOND FILM
I think that's debateable. If you had said that Brosnans hair needs more upkeep, that I would agree with. There must have been so much Brylcream in his hair in GE, that it could have withstood a close range blast from Graves' Icarus satellite. ;)
I think you mean his subtle and nuanced reinterpretation of the literary and filmic Bond.
His angry stares, dramatic looks round, deep breathing etc. Sometimes you could see him trying to sell it (when he finds Della, with Lupe at the casino).
You're right. He should have done more pain face.
He does do a painface sometimes like when he's attacked by the jailer and Necros and again on the conveyor belt in LTK. He even did the same face in Flash Gordon at one point.
He was always acting.
