We all have our favourites but I don't have the same dislike to film or
Actors that some seem to display.
I'm a Bond fan, I love all the actors who've played Bond, including Moore
And Brosnan, who seem to take a lot of flak. I prefer Connery, Craig and
Dalton, but I watch all the films all the time.
Maybe, I'm the luckiest Bond fan in the world, as I can appreciate the
Humour and scale of Moonraker and at the same time love the more
Realistic tone of Casino Royals or Quantum of Solace. :)
I can see your point... But no.
Absolutely true, but there is no way that anyone can consider Rog as the best Bond! Thats bonkers!
That whole scene is genius. Pure Bond
Yeah, it's the best scene in the movie.
He saved the series from stalling out or having a new Bond every 2 years or so, kept it moving forward, brought his own style and charm to the role, had stellar moments and not so good moments, yet kept at it. He was a great Bond overall and he did a lot of good for the franchise.
Although I agree (along with Roger and so many others) that Octopussy would have been the perfect way to end his time as Bond, I still value the length and strengths that Roger brought to Bond films. His lengthy stay as Bond also helped cement the series in our culture and keep Bond films a viable part of our world.
THAT was fleming's Bond.
+1,
:) I think Roger did a fantastic job as Bond, I feel he's my Bond as he was
Bond in the cinema. Sometimes,I get so sad reading all the hatred directed
At him by some.

Agreed.
I've always liked the GE score. I agree that it fits the movie perfectly (incredibly so). It is also fresh sounding in some places, but a little too modern and avante garde for Bond in other places.
The Michael Kamen score has really grown on me over the years too. Coming off one of Barry's best (TLD) I did not like it on first listen. However these days, like the movie, I really enjoy it.
WOW. Hold on. I have to take issue here :D
The sniper/'defection' scene after the title sequence is far and away the best & strongest scene from TLD. Trust me.
Couldn't agree more.
