I'm sorry, I should have read your post more carefully.
I agree with you that the dialogue in general in the Craig-era hasn't been what it could have been. CR was probably the exception.
As for Spectre, it doesn't bother me, the movie is 100% pure fun and "mindless" entertainment, therefore I don't demand poetry. I'm satisfied with the end-result of the movie as you know. I also think SP has more quotable lines than QOS and SF together.
But then, what we now think to be mediocre, could very well be considered classic tomorrow.
''What's happened''
''I don't know but I'm sure we're better out than in''
Really!
Very unfortunate, I had almost completely erased that line from my memory and now you've made it come back to me. Ohhhhhh.
Not nearly as bad as the awful delivery of the lines that would follow:
Goodhead: Hold. on. Jaaaaaaames (in the flattest and most sarcastic voice ever).
Bond: The thought had occurred to me!!!!
The fight was cringeworthy too, an embarrassment to everyone involved, but that is another story for another thread.
I don't want to think about excrement while watching a Bond movie. :))
I didn't mind Holly Goodhead but her flat delivery on the cable car sucked. That's particularly why I liked Moore's "the thought had occurred to me!" response.
Most of the LTK PTS was pathetic, anyway.
Add these Bibi "gems":
"I wanna win the gold medal!"
"We ALL want that!"
"Our plans have changed! We are going to Cuba!"
"CUUUBBBAAA?!"
Although I think of the Brosnan era as the pinnacle of Bond, I have to admit, no other era is as full of cringe worthy dialogue as his. Strangely, I cringe more while watching GE than I do DAD (mainly due to the entirety of the character Xenia Onatopp).
I totally agree. It's the delivery of that line that's the issue. It sounds like it comes straight out of an old Scooby Doo episode!
Most of LTK was overly pathetic. I know most people like them. But the multiple revenge lines in that film have always been too pathetic and a bit dull for me.
Exactly. That line made no sense whatsoever. It was just a lame set-up for the brawl with Jaws.
Well, she's supposed to be a spoiled little brat, so those lines are appropriate, and I think she delivered them reasonably well.
I like the bit where Bond asks for the knife to be removed and the goon just grunts at him 'ummmmmm'.
I'll mention her. She's easily the most uproarious Bond girl ever. All hail Plenty!
And when it comes to that: is a good example. A soldier making such a comment is just stupid. As if anyone, especially one doing a military exercise, would say something like that at that time.

I think its the cockney accent more than anything that irritates me.
"Do you know what happens when a man is strangled?"
Errrrrm... He... dies?
"Mmmm.. Especially when you're baad."
- what a way for Broz to go out.. IMO, it's about creepiest and most cringeworthy moment in the series - right up there with Christopher Walken trying to force a kiss on Grace Jones.
