Yea I kinda agree ..think hard.... there is at least one scene where the Bond theme played or a more subtle moment like when Bond unplugged the camera sneaking into the clinic. That short scene reminded me of Moonraker music and all.
Bond gritting his teeth during the tense tsunami surfing scene
That scene alone earned six Oscars, I believe.
Yes priceless. Umm we're not really arguing our case very well :(
Yes very impressive. The clinic scene where Bond whacks that jerk later pushing him in the wheelchair stuck in my mind too.
You know that scene and the body disposal in the trash bin in TWINE are two of those forgotten shock scenes that I usually associate with Craig's first two Bonds.
Regarding Jinx, I never minded her. Halle does fine with the material she's given.
Forgot that part.
Anyways, my favorite moments would be the Firing Squad, Bond breaking out and walking into that hotel, and for action the sword fight is great.
Obviously I like other parts, those are just my favorite moments. The TB reference with the grape always makes me chuckle. It's a bit more tasteful and subtle than some of the other ones. Hell, I like that whole clinic sequence really.
I have a very low threshold of death.
My doctor says I can't have bullets enter my body at any time.....
(And you cant watch the titles without the theme tune, and Madonnas utterly dire warbling here makes it impossible!). So I am afraid I wont be going along with what seems to be a new liking of DAD ( Looking back it does seem to be the most common last entry on most lists,so I'm a bit puzzled by the new found love?).
Oh, and I would rather watch CR 67 any day than endure another viewing of DAD!
I think that was by design though, given that was the direction which was popular at the time. Poke fun and caricaturize the template as it were.
I find it highly entertaining, just like XXX, but one shouldn't critically assess it - it's on that front that it fails, as does DAF, to a lesser extent.
Outside one Woody Allen scene THAT film is horrible and not a Bond film.
Only thing is that TWINE heisted the gadgets from CR 67 it seems.
Sorry there are just a lot of Bondian elements in DAD so it's hard for me to just dismiss it.
Interesting, before the Brossa era, I would have put DAF at the bottom of my list. I always found it a bit of slog, and Connery rather lazy, and don't get me started on Charles Grays Blofeld in drag! But I would still watch it, and enjoy certain scenes!
Fair points. I appreciate your opinion.
:-$
My comment was respecting his opinion. I don't share the same opinion however. I actually like DAD minus the often mentioned criticisms.
It's just a mostly fun OTT Bond film.
What is your favourite band? You should send them a letter.
