Definitely he is playing Bond not himself!
I Love this film!!! Everything about it is so pleasant an entertaining! :D
NOTE: Not all Bond movies have an English language option, some of them are either in Russian or Georgian.
(still like Dalton best!) \m/
Insulting. Tarnished M's character for the sake of the script. Played like it was some world changing Bond film while throwing together poorly staged and overlong action sequences. A film with no clue what it wants to be and no balls to really be a dramatically different film without leaned on the old Brosnan era crutches. Everything this film strives to be will be done significantly better 13 years after it was released.
DIE ANOTHER DAY
Here is a film of two halves, where the latter half completely invalidates the first. We see Bond tortured and held prisoner for over a year, accused of treason and stripped of rank, out on the run from MI6 and on his own with no support. I'm interested. I'm digging this! Lets see where this goes!
Oh, Bond is back in the service. With an invisible car. And the pretty boy has a space death ray and a VR suit that shoots electricity. Oh look, there's a poorly done CGI stunt double. Well, that went south fast.
I get the vibe that the first half of DAD is the Bond film Brosnan wanted to make, while the second half is the film he was contractually obligated to do. Shame, we could have had something really special here.

This is because cinematic Bond wasn t invented yet. They had to rely more on the original fleming material, and it pays off.
And it s a shame he never watched the first Craig film. Missed the pts because he was busy buying popcorn and soda, perhaps. Then walked in front of people trying to get into the film. perhaps talking on his phone while doing it, God what a nuisance those people are.
Succinctly put.
Yes but in lesser hands it could have been ballsed up completely. Connery really was that damn good.
1. Jill's murder and the subsequent scenes contain some of the best lead acting in all the series. Connery reflects perfectly in all his gestures and voice intonation how Bond is quite in a contained rage towards himself out of guilt and remorse, Goldfinger for his cruel and disproportionate revenge and even M for his cold reaction. Thinks like that are what made Connery the quintaessential Bond, and Dalton and Craig adopted this style for their respective Bonds.
2. The laser scene: at first, when I was a teenager, I thought Bond was saved by pure chance and Goldfinger was a stupid. However, a Bond scholar from my country said the movie has a very clear structure: Bond oustmarts Goldfinger twice, they have a draw and Goldfinger outsmarts Bond for the rest of the film. The so-called draw is the laser scene. What a memorable battle of wits! Bond uses his gambit wisely and plays with Mr. Ling's insecurity. "What if they found out about OGS?" And Goldfinger, who knows perfectly Bond has nothing to use against him, decides to use 007 as a pawn both to calm down Mr. Ling and to fool the MI6 (MI5?) and the CIA. A brilliant plan that only Bond's magical penis was able to thwart. IMHO, in its own way, Goldfinger's plan in the movie was even more fail-safe than the novel's: it included an escape plan that in the novel was reduced to a mere retreat.
With you on that one. Don't like piracy at all. Anyone who thinks it's okay is just lying to themselves.
I most certainly know how that goes, as unfortunate as it is. Very cool of her to have gone out of her way to see it, though, and well done on introducing her to all of the films! What past references did she notice, any in particular?
I had the same thoughts about the latter scene. Arriving at the lair, being kindly escorted to the room (or in SP's case, separate rooms), dressed up (Swann's dress had me immediately think of Honey's outfit at the end of DN), and sent off to meet the villain.
They even did the change of outfits, hotel rooms, and the nehru jacket. What was the YOLT reference with the couch, by the way?
I watched Spectre again over Thanksgiving break with my dad and brother. I liked it a little bit better this time, as some of the jokes were a bit better, and the stuff that bothered me the first time around didn't bother me quite so viscerally. The third act is still a mess and the evil plot horribly uninspired. The romance worked pretty well if it's just a regular Bond girl fling, but if we're to believe that she's a Tracy/Vesper type, they've gone mad.
It lacked some action but was compensated by great visulas like the beach scene with Vesper, the scene at the Casino where Eva Green is wearing the purple dress and when Solange Appears for the first time with the horse.
