While MR has the double take pigeon, all of Jaws moments, the fact that an astronauts passes out at 9-10 G's but Bond walks off 13!
This is why I'd call it one of the "silliest" entries in the series. In regard to DaltonCraig's comment about the film "being too awesome to be taken as a joke", is there really any other other way to take it? Heck, the film often treats itself as a joke *cough*double-take pigeon*cough*
DIe Another Day on the other hand - was a film that was trying (with every tiny muscle in it's being) to be a serious film, while paying homage to 40 years of Bond history... and what we got, was something that was so over the top, so silly, and at often times, so dumb, that it offset everything that it was trying to be... the movie felt like a bad video game, and not a movie... i wonder if it really tried to play dumb - as many critics here in the states bashed The World Is Not Enough for having "too confusing of a plot" - i found it easy to follow - maybe those critics took one too many bathroom and popcorn breaks??.. either way... Die Another Day pushed the envelope about as far as it could reasonably be pushed, and what we got in return was a pretty embarrassing effort..
DAD (I think) wanted to be both a serious film (the grittier, drab looking first half) and a fun comic book adventure which paid homage to the last 40 yearsof 007 (the OTT second half).
In all honesty I don't hold any of those three particularly highly in my rankings however.
neither do i.. but i certainly rank DAF higher than MR and DAD.. based on my personal perference of course..
and about all this movies you all mentioned it all depends how you watch the movie i think that MR wanted to be funny,they did it just cause it was popular at that time
But the only film mentioned of those four with any merit is Octopussy....the rest are bottom barrel Bond.
I believe you mean AVTAK for the snowboarding scene.
That said, I don't dislike the movie. It's trying to be OTT, and I can appreciate that.
I feel like it's different than DAD, which at many times tries to be serious and largely fails, and TMWTGG, which is very silly, but fails to entertain me.
DAF works, somehow....
Moonraker for me. The Production design and effects team deserve praise. The writers should be shot. IT WANTS TO BE (said nerdy) STAR WARS!
DAD a close second. Well the invisible aston could happen in 10 years, my problem is the really bad CGI, the jaguar with a SMG to big for it and the whole third act
YOLT and TSWLM are the classic ones so why are they here
I Know this is for films but the video game: Nightfire?
