My wife is currently at the cinema watching NTTD with my youngest daughter. I will update you with her reaction.
Cool! But keep it spoiler-free please! My son 3 by now, but I guess that's still slightly too young....
He was very sceptical until I showed him the clip from TSWLM.
He now believes it 😁
Just dont mention invisible cars, mate!
LOL 😆 I wouldn't subject him to that just yet! 😁
Oh but you should!
Now is the only time of his life where he'll view Die Another Day positively! :))
The first film she chose was Moonraker. I tried to persuade her to start with TSWLM to ensure continuity of the JAWS character, but she was insistent.
It was the first time, in a long time that I had watched Moonraker. It’s the film that often divides opinion, but I found myself enjoying it just as much as I remember enjoying it, as a young boy. My daughter shared my feelings towards the film. Her favourite parts were the PTS, centrifuge, cable car and the space station. Whilst the space scenes do seem dated now and far-fetched, it was the late 70’s and Star Wars was the rage back then, so I don’t have an issue with it.
In summary, she though Sir Roger was excellent, Drax was cool, the sets and locations were great, and the music was ace!!
Ignoring the silliness, it’s a more than solid Bond film, with some iconic scenes and dialogue. My score was 8/10, my daughter gave it a 9.
Thanks 👍
So we (I'm excited to introduced to her into the Bond world) watched all DC's bond movies and she love all of them especially Skyfall (because of Adelle's song).
So my wife, her and my son (has a name... Sean James B-) B-) ) all eagerly watched NTTD on an iMax cinema and she has a lot of picture with all the Bond cast's standee at the cinema. So happy seeing her done that.
After the movie she asked me when is the next Bond movie... I told her maybe in 3 years. Her excitement turns to disappointment maybe she thought it will be every year. :))
PS:
When we watched Goldeneye she said that... "James Bond looks weird... he has black hair" :))
:D
My 11 year old and I have been watching Bond movies in order. Except for a few exceptions.
We have now seen the following:
DN
FRWL
GF
TB
YOLT
OHMSS (skipped this one in our Bond-a-thon as my son said we had watched it recently)
DAF
LALD
TMWTGG (skipped this one as he says he hates it, I like this film so this one hurts! LOL)
TSWLM
He said his favourite is still SF, but rounding out his top films are Spy, DAF and FRWL. Quite the mix of movies. It will be interesting when we get to Eyes as the last time I attempted to show it he claimed it was a boring film and we only watched till the ski chase sequence.
I have enough movie's she and her brother can watch, but there only visit my house onces and even for animated he is mabey stil to young to watch them in English.
I watched Spectre in the cinema with my brother ( He have seen Brosnan movie's too) and he only did this for me and wish there return to less serious times of Goldeneye (We playing game on N64 from another nefjure with who we watched DAD), NTTD be first Bond movie i visit alone. Can't blame it Corona alone.
Iam almoost 43,with my lower mental age (Some people think iam 33-36 max) own kid is stil possible in max next 10 years and i already have name for a girl. But it was not realy wish for long time and with all nature/world looking those days.
I'm as impatient as you (allthough my 'I will never watch a Bond-film' wife has finally seen CR and is interested in more now, so I have a new partner in crime), but I think this is (way) too early. My boy turns 5 today, but it won't be for another 3-4 years that I'll see if I can introduce him to Roger Moore.
So far they've watched the majority of the films with me with the exception of DAF, FYEO, LTK, TND, TWINE, CR after the parkour scene, QOS, SP and NTTD.
They enjoyed them all with the exception of FRWL and YOLT and to an extent LALD but mostly due to Baron Samedi creeping them out. They love SF, DAD, TMWTGG, GE and MR. With them being so young, I did skip some scenes such as Xenia crushing Farrell, her shooting up Severnaya, Bottoms Up and Jinx and Bond shagging in Cuba. Gotta keep some sort of discretion at that age. They've been begging me to watch DAF but I think they wouldn't enjoy the somewhat convoluted plot of diamond smuggling etc. And LTK is a no go for a few more years.
While I think that some of the age rating over here is a joke (today I could only accept delivery of a Blu-ray of "Foxy Brown" by showing the DHL delivery guy my identity card because the movie is still rated "18" after about fifty years...and I'm almost fifty years above that age, so any delivery person should be able to tell...but then, they have to record the name and IC number to make sure!), I can still see why the Bond movies are not really suitable for young children, unless they have a very careful accompaniment by their parents when watching them. It sounds like you're providing that, but still I'd be reluctant to let five-year olds (or so) see the movies.
Quite apart from the fact that when I was that age, I had to be in bed at seven p.m.
This is going back a while now, but my youngest cousins were very fond of TSWLM when they were about 8 or so (it's actually a major reason I re-visited that film/appreciate it more now in recent years). Later on it was CR and SF that stood out when it came to the modern Bond films.
It's definitely a challenge on when to introduce, especially when many of his four year old classmates have watched all the Marvel movies already.
