I thought it was very interesting. Gives a unique and compressed look on how the series have evolved with time.
And I think it would be great if they made another video changing the order, beginning with the Skyfall pre titles and ending with Sean and Honey in the boat.
Pierce makes it all better than it should be.
Like Clooney made Batman & Robin better than it should have been.
Not that that's saying much, though.
:))
But for DAD, Pierce deserved better.
One of the great tragedies of the series.
DAD, like NSNA, could be edited down into an excellent 20-min trailer.
But the chat up between Bond and Jinx is the only scene in movies that actually makes me feel physically ill, it's like the director is intentionally pushing buttons to acquire that effect, and succeeding.
Now, to the Dalton Era -
Up until the Airbase Sequence, TLD, is probably my favorite Bondian segment; engaging performance by Dalton; a real Flemingesque story; intricate plotting; entertaining fantasy and great music. Definite top 5 Bond film.
I still prefer LTK however, as it has one of the best rogues gallery, in the series' history.
I really enjoyed the two Dalton films. Superb Mr Bond! Superb!
Also, @chrisisall, you really think Clooney improves B&R?! I always thought he was horrible in that movie and I'm a fan of his work generally.
1. From Russia With Love
2. On Her Majesty's Secret Service
3. The Spy Who Loved Me
4. Dr No
5. Thunderball
6. You Only Live Twice
7. Live And Let Die
8. Goldfinger
9. The Man With The Golden Gun
***10. Moonraker***
11. Diamonds Are Forever
I think it's great. Maybe I'll write a full review sometime. It's flawed, definitely, but I quite love it.
Any movie with such a track gets thumbs up from me.
I think Clooney would have made a fine Wayne/Batman in different circumstances. Those circumstances being a production that had proper set design, a strong script, strong supporting cast, and a competent director who, you know, actually knew the source material.
It's a PERFECT OTT cinematic Bond IMHO.

ugggghh, it's already getting too hard, but you hopefully get the drift....
(for a bit of a point of reference, a few of my most highly respected films are Metropolis, Sanjuro, 2001, The Road Home, Blade Runner...)
:-??
:)>-
And, back on topic, tomorrow I will receive & watch my Blu Ray of YOLT. I am stoked, to put it mildly.
If you ask me, MR is the best Bond... God I love free opinions...
;)
Last time I watched YOLT I really enjoyed it too. It's funny, it just misses my top 10 but there are some really classic elements. One thing I did think though:
Why does Bond just happen to have a safe cracker with him when he didn't even know he would end up in that office?
Wow, you founf a plot hole in YOLT? Congratulations! :P And what a shame for the film! I mean, everything else makes complete and utter sense, doesn't it...
Now now...no need for rudeness :p
Haha. I wasn't being rude my friend. :)>- Only "delightfully" sarcastic! ;) :P
:-??
