4 - Jinx' lines. The line delivery was tasteless but the lines themselves are venom to my Bane.
3 - Madonna's cameo. Sorry dear, about 15 years too late.
2 - CGI plane, CGI ice surfing, CGI everything... because it was done poorly.
1 - CGI ice surfing!!!! Because it's THAT bad. (really, it is)
1. CGI that bad should never ever be seen on film, let alone a Bond film.
2. Halle Berry's performance as Jinx. Granted the character is badly written and has awful dialogue like this: "Yo mama". Really? REALLY???, but Berry is just bloody terrible in this film. Makes me constantly cringe.
3. The writers totally bottle the plot of Bond being a "broken man" fifteen minutes into the film when he turns up at the best suite of a five star hotel not looking like a man who's just spent the last fourteen months having his testes stung by scorpions!
4. Graves turns into effing RoboCop. It looks like the filmmakers pinched the totally crap suit that Captain Freedom refuses to don in The Running Man!
5. The invisible car. Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear.....
6. The piss poor homages to the previous forty years of Bond including Q's lab filled with "old relics".
7. Mr Kil. Nothing more to say here.
8. The gene replacement therapy crap. Yeah right!
9. The ice palace that looks like it's actually made of cheap plastic.
10. And last but certainly by no means least, Madonna's cameo. Sends a shiver down my spine every time I watch it. (Her song isn't much better either).
(Edited to include ten entries)
9. Moneypenny's new sex toy.
8. The unseen plot about African conflict diamonds.
7. Bond back to Superman mode right after the PTS.
6. Waste of Michael Madsen.
5. Madonna's cameo.
4. All of Jinx's dialogue.
3. The stupid gene therapy subplot.
2. Korean guy becoming a British guy with magic plastic surgery.
1. Another Doomsday satellite with a laser beam.
I think you should play fair and restrict it to 5. Hard to do I know but I was refused an extension for more myself ;-)
4. Madonna's title song
3. Korean turning British
2. VR training
1. The ultimate insulte to the Moneypenny legacy
Yes, I may have to edit at some point if I think of even worse entries.
Has that just been amended or did I miss it originally?
20: RoboCop.
19: Super Space Lasers in Space IV: ICARUS
18: Yo mama
17: I just got tortured for 14 months. I look impeccable and haven't suffered any physical or mental repercussions.
16: Hamlet... I mean... ten times too long sword fight
15: Moneypenny gets boned in VR. Ruined the character.
14: Pathetic replacement for Desmond.
13: Oh look! A billionaire amassed his wealth in 14 months and didn't exist beforehand! NOT WORTHY OF SUSPICION AT ALL.
12: CGI bullet ruins the gunbarrel. Fuck you, Imawhori!
11: Horrible, overly done, in your face references to every previous Bond film
10: Slo-mo every three seconds.
9: Invisible car.
8: Madonna's theme song.
7: Madonna's cameo. Vomit worthy.
6: Michael Madsen's pointless character.
5: They set up a surveillance team in his fucking closet. What if he wanted to grab his coat?
4: Sith powers.
3: The best performance is by a character who has all of ten lines and gets killed in some bad melodrama with his son.
2: Pierce Brosnan wasn't too old to play Bond at all. /sarcasm
1: Gustav Graves. You suck, Toby Stephens. Congratulations on being the worst villain ever, tied with Charles Gray!
BONUS: Number 0 since it's not even worthy of counting as anything other than nothing: Tsunami surfing.
This movie can burn in hell. So can Tamahori for all I care. It's disgusting that I could easily have doubled this list.
And I thought I hated this movie!! ^:)^
As an addendum, I'd like to add:
1/ Jinx
2/ CGI Jinx bending over backwards and diving into the sea
3/ Any Jinx dialogue, particularly "Yo Mama" and "especially when I'm bad"
4/ Jacinta Johnson
5/ The depressing fact that Jinx didn't die
5) Poor lines in general. A plot that leads to confusion, in details and randomly written after the Icarus presentation.
4) Madonna's character and song
3) Jinx character (and lines)
2) CGI effects (the very worst being Bond surviving the tsunami)
1) Gustav Graves/Moon/(Toby Stephens)/Darth Robocopious...
You forgot Mr Kil.
4) Forget about it - Let's have Bond get captured and tortured and then just abandon the idea and not have it make any impact on the rest of the story.
3) The plane fight - Fighting Robocop in a burning, crashing plane that's crumbling to pieces.
2) Halle Berry - Just when we thought that Denise Richards was the worst Bond girl ever, the producers outdid themselves. She is one of the most stupid and annoying characters from any movie that I have ever seen.
1) Gene Therapy - :))
Here I go, then:
5) The so called theme song. Horrible travesty.
4) ALL the CGI - it was embarrassing, embarrassing for a Bond fan or any cinema fan
3) The camp scenes of Bond walking dripping wet into the hotel with no attitude or sign at all of being tortured or starved
2) Jinx - ALL of Jinx, stinking lines, crap delivery, stupid attitude - all horribly, horribly wrong
1) The bloody script - tied with Tamahori's ideas, direction, everything
Ugh. I need to go wash now, that was disgusting revisiting that film, which is such a poor excuse of a Bond film.
4. Too much CGI
3. Brosnan at his worst
2. Jinx, the worst Bond girl ever. Terribly acted, terribly written, terrible everything.
1. The invisible car...it's like the Bat credit card of the JB film franchise.
2) The gene therapy idea is interesting, but a Bond film should only contain traces of sci-fi.
3) Way too many puns thrown in there. It needed more intelligent dialogue, like the scenes with Bond and M.
4) The notion of Bond being imprisoned for over a year and his rise back to the top was something unseen in the series, but it was soon discarded.
5) I like the theme song on it's own, but it needs more lyrical content- it's too repetitive. And even with that change, it still isn't Bondian. Whoever has heard Madonna's earlier work would agree she could have delivered a great Bondian tune. Although I don't understand the hate for her being seen in the film.
I get why this film sits near the bottom of most people's list (I rank it there too), but I still thoroughly enjoy watching it on occasion. Now, time to face reality.
#1 Bond surfing CGI waves. What the thump were they thinking ?
#2 The Ciccone theme intro. Awful techno-style garbage, from a once decent artist
#3 The end with the helicopter and Bond picking diamonds from Halle Berry's navel
#4 The "I'm Mr Kil" quote, and Bond's response "Now there's a name to die for"
#5 Moneypenny and the Virtual Reality scene near the end. "Hard isn't it ?" - "Yes, very"
It was even harder for most, to watch that overall piece of crap excuse for a James Bond "adventure"
