@Dimi already said he was going to start a vs. thread, and good thing. They are starting to cause annoyance. Since you started this you should inform @Dimi. I'm sure he'll let this thread be used as the primary v.s. thread on MI6 and all the other threads can be closed.
Yeah, I didn't notice the warning thing he put up until after I made this one. Hopefully it'll stay up!
I don't see why not. @Dimi has always been a kind mod.
Agreed!
And as for my pick, I say that From Russia with Love is the better of the two. It was, if I remember correctly, the first Bond movie I saw, so that's a bonus. Other than pure nostalgia, it's a great Cold War Bond movie with plenty of spying, a magnificent performance by Sean Connery, if not his best, and amazing villains. Also, even though FRWL doesn't have as much action as some of the others in the series, I like how it is still entertaning because of the direction style. We need the action it gives us, but it is the perfect amount while still being very thrilling. The locations aren't much good though, but that's the only thing I can pin on FRWL.
I loved the locations. Istanbul just looked cool, and still sticks in my mind, and we got some great shots of Venice. FRWL also gets bonus points for having an Ian Fleming cameo! :-bd
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 Fleming has a cameo in FRWL?! With as many times I've seen it, how have I missed him? What part and where is he?
I love catching people who haven't seen it yet. You will see a shot of the train rolling by at the top of a sort of low hill near the 1hour and 16 minute mark. In the shot is a man in a white shirt, gray pants, and a white cane. That there is Ian Fleming himself.
But i do like TB as well,these 2 are #1 and #4 in my rankings at the moment.
Meanie!
It's a tough one, but, I have to go for
From Russia With Love.
However both are in my top three.
I love the intrigue and cold war drama and the tense scenes on the train of FRWL
TB had the beautiful underwater photography, excitement, Fione Volpe, and that good soundtrack.
I will have to toss a coin:
Tails-FRWL wins
Perhaps announce a new pair each time by means of adding something to the title. ;-)
Or just name it The Official Bond Versus Thread, and number the v.s. matches. So this would be v.s. #1, the next #2 and so on. Just include the v.s. number in parenthesis next to the thread title every time a new pair are announced. Just a suggestion.
FRWL
FRWL has the better villains, story, and bond girl. Plus it doesn't tend to drag at points like TB can.
