I agree with this I used to hate it , although i don't consider it the best it's in my top 5 easily .
So, no - I tend to get it right first time. Way ahead of the curve on QoS, the casting of Daniel Craig and even Timothy Dalton back in 87.
TND was actually the first Bond movie I saw in the theatre- after getting introduced to the series as a whole with GoldenEye on VHS. I was 14 and usually even when I see a BAD movie I'll at least *think* it was good until the excitement goes away and I realize it was indeed a horrible movie- Star Wars Ep I was a great example of that ;) !
But with TND, as I left the theatre with my friend I looked at him and was like 'that movie kind of sucked didn't it?' and he agreed.
However years later on this forum as TND rested near the bottom of my ranking, I saw more and more praise from a bunch of good guys whose opinions I've come to trust- and upon a recent viewing I found it quite enjoyable! Currently no. 11
Now TWINE on the other hand.....
Other than that, no. Some of my opinions have changed since I joined but not really thanks to this forum.
Its not just a thing against LTK. Even my beloved GE has admittingly fallen a few spots (though its still easily in the top 10).
I think lots of people just think it's automatically Moore's best just because it's a fairly serious film. I always thought it was pretty average and nowhere near as good as TSWLM, OP or even LALD. In terms of entertainment value I'd say even MR beats it.
I don't see what so many see in FYEO. It has it's moments (ski chase, car chase, car kick, finale) and Moore is great as always but I think there's enough bad stuff in it (forgettable villian, Blofeld gets dropped down a chinmey, Bibi, ice rink fight) to balance it out and make it a middle ranker.
Don't get me wrong it's not terrible and it's not Moore's worst (I'd put AVTAK, TMWTGG and MR below it), I just don't think it's as great as some people say.
WHo is mr Rogers? Are you reffering to the talking Mule?
And who is mr. Bond? You are reffering to the writer of the Bird book that served as a source for the name?
The name's Rogers. Fred Rogers.
On Moonraker (which wasn't bad in average), AVTAK's casting and average film, LTK (I found it too "US action" but the detailed plot changed my mind), CR timeline (earlier with Dalton or Brosnan) and Daniel Craig (a better 007 since Skyfall). Mostly.
Welcome to the club of Daltonites. ;-)
I also had no idea OHMSS was such a cult classic and that many treasure Lazenby's portrayal and wish he did more. I always assumed that film was a dud because of him. I was wrong!
I had Timothy Dalton as best Bond before I arrived, and it will be so, long after. Nothing can change that
Me too. I've seen how cheesey they often can be.
