It's among my favorite Bonds.
Love Tim, love his Bond films.
Really? Well i thought that many people here hated Dalton because of his LTK's film, and also for his rogue kind of Bond.
The best Bond, the best score, the best stunt (cargo net), the best PTS, a great cold war story, terrific action mixed with some real tension, great script filled with some brilliant lines, cool locations, a catchy 80's theme song, a good Bond girl that Bond actually seems to care about, Necros, etc.
There's tons to love in TLD. I think it knocks nearly all the other Bond movies out of the park, a real classic.
If LTK didn't have Sanchez then TLD would still be my favourite Bond film.
Ahhh - Bond like Bond used to be. They knew how to make 'em properly when I were young.
I suppose if truth be told most Bond movies have something wrong with them. What counts for me is if overall the film just 'works' for me and TLD most definitely does.
May be. I think I never really liked the story very much. The 'this time it's personal' twist always struck me as a bit naff and unconvincing. Since then it seems to have become the basis for every single Bond plot.
Jaws movies too.
And of course role the Mujahedin is quite amusing when one looks at the current wars on the same guys, now called taliban. A political choice in a 007 movie that was debatable even then.
But the soundtrack of the movie is the swansong of John Barry for the franchise. Not since then have we had such a coherent soundtrack or even the quality of the work. This soundtrack shows the stupid decision of EON not to get the man back at any cost.
Or so I'd like to believe in the context of the movie.
:-?
I remember my dad saying back in 87 that the mujahadin were a bad lot.
It works in the movie though I guess. Art Malik milks the role for all it's worth. A nice bit of 'of the moment' casting.
I'm quite Sure that just about everybody saw them as Freedom Fighters in those Times. Remember,that was before religious inspired terrorism came in Fashion.
