My 8th favourite Bond movie ;)

Gee, they don`t make `em like this anymore....(and that`s a bad thing before any smart ass says otherwise!!!)
Happy 30th FYEO. :-D
Not necessarily my fave Bond movie, but, for the same token, far from my least favourite.
If I bump into it in the next day or two, I'll certainly buy it an ice-cream... ;)
There is something of a cosy relaxed feel to the direction (especially in Cofu) which fits perfectly given that it is a family murder revenge flick and we should be rooting for Melina to avenge her parents. This then juxtaposes nicely when a shocking event occurs. Ferrara death, Gonzales and his gun toting plane. In terms of inconsistency I think dramatically these sit very well, there be a case of slight jarring when by John Glens own admission "keystone cops" start influencing the the chase sequences.
The film falters in it's climax and threat factors, but other than that we are treated to a wealth of good and believable character acting. ( Topol taught me how to be cool whilst spitting pistachio husks out in public!!)
A great theme, a funky score, a Bond for the 80's!...and if they hadn't had done this then you wouldn't have OP's swagger blending the best of Moore or indeed the harsh killing of Howe in AVTAK. FYEO ushers in the decade of Moores exit and Daltons entry very nicely methinks.
Hopefully this helps my friend. :-)
