Which was one of the redeeming qualities about it.
Which is why it was its Waterloo. Something MR was not for Roger Moore.
I am starting to appreciate the film for that reason alone.
Sorry but the Boston Tea Party is not the same as Waterloo. Waterloo took France out the superpower stakes. It had the entire European continent gang up in it.
Was DAD instrumental for Brosnans retirement, it sound more like wishful reasoning. I feel that 9/11 and the succes of the Bourne movies were more instrumental than the financial success of DAD. Brosnan could easily have done a darker movie as he has proven quite often after DAD.
It is my opinion that EON without Broccoli Sr has steered the boat in a sometimes TOO safe a way, they have not been original for some time.
But then again the Boston Tea party made clear that the population (of the US) was not at all charmed about the people in charge, taxation without representation. Or in 007 words no money for that unsympathetic performer, we want another one. And after some time the in the US popular actor got the job.
history and comparison.
Nothing about the politics of the US and or France.
AAAaah your American. That explains your lousy take on the Napoleonic wars. The whole of Europe ganged up on Napleon. From Portugal to Russia.
The whole thing collapses. Rather like...
No, he's Dutch.
Well that is telling. ;)
I know of the Napoleonic wars and the influences he left behind on Europe and even my country, not all bad I must admit.
I thought the Dutch were in on it. Considering their involvement.
DAD was financially successful, but it had at the time very mixed reviews. 9/11 and the Bourne movies made DAD irrelevant, thus by proxy Brosnan. I don't think it was the only reason, not even the main reason, for his departure. Heck, his age alone may have been enough for his retirement. But it did play some role in it. And even if it did not... DAD was still his Waterloo: his last Bond movie, made irrelevant by events of the time and by other movies.
There's a bit of francophobia with people's dislike of Napoleon. Napoleon was not even French, he was Corsican. And, with all his flaws, an amazing man and maybe the greatest war leader in history.
Certainly a very interesting historical figure.
Trashy.
Not a word I expect to use when discussing Bond.
"Ahm checkin' out"
"Yo momma"
"Bitch"
"I don't like cock fights"
Bond getting his rocks off
It's about as subtle as a brick through a plate glass window.
It's got a risible script, cgi and performances.
It feels like it was all shot on the pinewood backlot.
Sure Moonraker is daft, but at least it's likeable.
And DAF, but in that case, it's god damned hilarious!
In SF? Do you mean in CR? In which case, the context is widely different.
That sums it up perfectly. Eurotrash villain, vulgar puns, even more vulgar ending, a bimbo Moneypenny, everything is so darn wrong.
It's used in both CR and SF.
But you're right. It's all about context.
I misread your comment, I was under the impression that 'bitch' was a word you didn't expect to hear when discussing Bond or something, hence why I pointed out it was used in another film. Ignore me.
DAD. And how would both.movies have the same description? Even if one dislikes both, how can SF have say a vulgar ending?
Okay, I was just pokin' in response to the usual Brosnan hate, I'll admit.
:-\"
It was definitely some sort of loo.
