    I like this sequence with Art Malik and his Afghan rebels, nicely photographed!

    Nice evening shot from DoP Alec Mills. A long stalwart of the series, taking over from Alan Hume!

    You wouldn't be able to say that now Art! 😁

    And another bomb countdown. Glen does them a lot in his 007 movies

    Big Airport battle! One of the film magazines at the time did a location report when this sequence was filmed. Was impressed how well Dalton handled the action!

    Bond frustrated with Kara not understanding him.
    Does he really mouth what we think he mouths? 😂

    Terrific game of chicken with the incoming plane!
    Great model shots! Should have been Koskovs death. Would have been a spectacular way to exit!

    Cargo net fight. One of the most thrilling action sequences they have staged!

    At least Necros had a spectacular death scene!

    The exploding bridge was such an impressive model shot from effects maestro John Richardson! Very convincing!

    " I know a great restaurant in Karachi...!"
    Of course he does, he's James Bond! 😁

    I've always liked this final shootout with Whitaker. The equivalent of the henchman turning up in the end for a final scrap, like in the old days!

    Whitakers arrogance rather reminds me of a certain President!! 🤫

    John Barry makes an appearance in his final Bond movie! And he delivered one of his best scores! Pity he didn't get on with aha!
    I wonder is Mickey G in the audience?

    "You didn't think I was going to miss this performance?"
    And so ends Timothy Daltons splendid debut, to the strains of a wonderful The Pretenders song, 'If there was a man'
    Really enjoyed this watch ( Again!!) Fantastic Bond movie!

    Why do people dislike Joe Don Baker as Whitaker? I think he is great, certainly prefer him here than as that moronic, irritating Jack Wade character!

    100 % with you on that, mate!

    Bond confronts Pushkin! One of the finest scenes in the series! Pure Fleming! Marvellous stuff! Dalton is sublime!

    One of my favourite scenes of the entire series. Intense and brilliantly acted.

    Great minds! 😉
    Yeh, I do think he gets a bad rap, there are way more weaker villains than him!

    Gun barrel earns a point

    Good opening shot.

    I think this first 30 minutes is great so not alot to say, good mini movie.

    If only the rest of the movie was this quality and not bogged down by a terrible script and god awful dialogue. Let's see if my opinion changes...

    Bond and Madeline not convinced never was, feels very superficial and pretentious.

    DC is my worst Bond despite loving his first two films.

    This pre title sequence is the best part of the film though carries over issues from previous films.

    Bond move on, the Vesper scene makes no sense in context of where he supposed to be emotionally, crap writing

    The score is good.

    The bridge scene is good, legit Spectre vibes even though I think technically it's not Spectre.

    This scene is great the score is awesome.

    DC Bond should have ended Primo there and then, always had an issue with that scene

    DC Bond does like his CGI motor bike scenes.

    Bond's paranoid attitude toward Madeline is ridiculous

    The action is great.

    Bond knows Blofeld is a snake.

    This score is 🔥

    For whom the bell tolls...

    Bond demener when the Aston is getting battered is great.

    DC even smiles and looks like he is having fun for a moment.

    The train departure scene is stupid, as soon as I saw Madeline hold her stomach at the cinema it was bloody obvious.

    Not the worst title track though very low key.

    I am going to struggle for the rest of the film., I already feel compelled to switch this off.

    Post titles I immediately remember why I hate this, seriously bad tonal inconsistency.

    As a viewer I feel constantly taken out of the movie.

    I am not a big fan of SF or SP though they are consistent in there tone.

    Logan the most obvious dodgy agent ever.

    Sean's Bond would have killed Logan immediately

    DC Bond is acting like a speculating idiot. I hate this film.

    007 just turned up, totally pointless arc that goes nowhere.

    This is in contention as worst Bond film, it's probably the worst

    What they did to Blofeld in this era is unforgivable

    Ana De Armas a bright spot

    I am forcing myself to watch as much of this film as possible, it's tough.

    I am starting to think could Amazon really make a film as bad as NTTD?

    The score is good.

    This is a tough watch.

    Felix will get killed shortly.
