Haha, I know I know mate!
It was like I was watching a different film!! Its certainly not a masterpiece, and maybe I might feel different next viewing, but really enjoyed it this time! Yes, i found it hard to rank first time, this times gonna be a bitch! Mind you, I do still prefer CR and QOS!
Me too. It has many flaws but is still a cracking watch. It's definitely really well paced. It never seems that long.
I noticed this time that Nomi's line "Stay in your lane" when she first meets Bond is in the trailer but not the finished film. Good thing 👍
Love that line from Bond after Madeleine says she wants to show him something..."What, another child...?" 😄
Oh and that staircase firefight gets more badass every time I see it 😎
And what a great body armour Bond has.
Top 4 bond film for me.
Best fight in a bond movie ?
Best slap in a bond movie ? :-O
Looks like a real slap but probably not.
Being a Bond film and one of my favourites, I was excited. But I had no idea it was going to be this good. It was absolutely amazing. Having the orchestra playing the soundtrack live was unbelievable. Really enjoyed it. And then of course the Bond theme over the closing credits. Wow!
Another top 4 bond film for me.
My #1!
Me too. Premium Bond.
I enjoyed watching these three in a pack because they represent such a broad variety of elements and styles in the Bond series. Goldfinger is the classic well-rounded Bond movie with one of the most appealing formulas, while TMWTGG and GE follow their own paths with endearing individuality. TMWTGG leans into camp (yet does balance the darker elements as well as it can) while GE emphasizes the darker undertones without overdoing it. I'd recommend this three-pack to anyone looking for an impromptu Bond watch party.
The biggest take-aways on this viewing of each were the following:
-GF's boring pace between Bond's capture and the Fort Knox raid
-Roger Moore's enticingly darker performance throughout TMWTGG
-GE's greatness in truly establishing its own format
Timothy Daltons debut is as enjoyable now as it was on that first viewing in Summer 1987! Loved Roger, but I was blown away by Dalton. You just cant take your eyes off him. Encapsulates Flemings Bond completely for me! A hardened, bitter ("if he fires me, I'll thank him for it!") Dark, wonderfully smooth, and any other description you want to say. And the film is a great springboard from Flemings short story, after the best pts, a good story, great characters ( dont care who knows it, love the 3 main villains!) Wonderful final score from John Barry, terrific, exciting action, and again, despite somes criticism, the Afghanistan sequence has a lot to enjoy in it, before the thrilling finish with the cargo net fight! And the final encounter with Whitaker, was a nice throwback to the final reel showdown of the earlier movies!
Classic Bond for me, it even has the last great classic Bond poster!
An all round winner for me, as you know mate. My favourite PTS and one of the best climaxes in the series. For me it was the best the best Bond film since the 60's.
It's 4th on my rankings and I can't see that ever changing. Love it!
TLD could be number 1 for me, if OHMSS didnt exist! Fleming would have loved Dalton methinks!
Also my number 1. I even like the Afghanistan section, the final confrontation with Whitaker and the villains. I also like the more convoluted plots that one may not entirely understand at first viewing.
He's probably one of Remy Juliennes stunt car team!
Am not one of the haters of Craigs second last Bond, and because I felt so let down by SKYFALL,
( going to give it yet another chance soon, after purchasing it in 4k!) I really enjoyed this on first viewing in the cinema, and since! But I didnt fully enjoy it this time! Yes, still great moments, most of the pts, Rome section, and that fantastic fight sequence on the train, and there are lovely Bond scenes, (!) ,007 taking out the two assassins, the first meet in Madeleines office, Bond and Madeleine waiting on the Rolls Royce to appear, but it did seem more glum this time. Am convinced Sam Mendes was never a good fit for Bond movies!.....Or maybe I just wasnt in the mood today 🤣 Had a great watch of TMWTGG recently, may hsve to switch them around in my listings after this viewing!!
The one before that was For Your Eyes Only. Haven't watched it in years. I might be in the minority on this, but I personally find it one of the worst Bond films.
The first 2/3 of the film are up there with the very best of Bond. The last 1/3 is a train wreck I'd rather forget.
As far as I know it is his son...
'Operation Undertow' is generally the overlooked Bond in Moores era! But I still glean a lot of enjoyment from it. From the spectacular pts ( up until 'NotBlofeld's demise!) through one of Binders best title sequences, Carole Bouquets gorgeous leading lady,the fun car chase, the beautiful Greek location work (enhanced by my recent reading of 'Colonel Sun') the atmospheric Casino scene, a great ally in Topols Colombo, some cool ski action, Rogers wheezy foot chase after Locque, the terrific Keelhauling set piece, and Contis breezy score make this 007 adventure a guilty pleasure!
