I am a bit confused. Is it OHMSS, or is it a tie? Which is fair enough.
And this round is FRWL vs MR, FRWL vs DAD hasn t been done yet. People were just eager to get worked up in advance over hypothetical future votes. Ha ha, if people slam you for your opinion, just laugh it off. I am prepared for that myself during a few GE rounds to come up later.
Absolutely.
FRWL beats MR 28-4
OHMSS beats QOS 29-3
Round 5:
YOLT vs MR
and
OHMSS vs OP
OHMSS over OP - IMO: OP is a good Bond film, but OHMSS is a great one. OHMSS will beat everything except CR for me in this tournament.
OHMSS over OP
The other one is easy of course. OHMSS all the way!
Seconded.
OHMSS beats OP but OP is one of my favourite Bond films.
YOLT vs MR - tough choice actually. I enjoy both of Gilbert's mega blockbusters. They are both visually incredible and epic in scope and concept. I believe Roger Moore more readily fits into these sort of approaches and films and there are a lot of elements of MR (particularly the humour) that I much prefer to YOLT. The earlier half of both films are incredibly atmospheric and stylish. YOLT by a hair.
OHMSS vs OP - I enjoy both for different reasons, because they are such different types of Bond films. OHMSS takes it for its Fleming plot, beautiful cinematography and 60's vibe, but OP puts up a close fight on account of Roger's performance, the overall charisma/entertainment value of the film, and the great villain roster.
OHMSS vs OP: OHMSS, no-brainer.
YOLT v MR - MR: The most outlandish Connery film v the most outlandish Moore film. It's exceedingly close but if you're going for an outlandish romp then the man you want with his hand on the tiller to guide you effortlessly through is Rog every time. This sort of film really isn't Sean's forte even if he could be arsed and apart from the laser battle I think there is more scientific accuracy in the space shuttles than SPECTRE's re-entry vehicle (not to mention hollowing out a volcano). The first half of YOLT is a bit plodding too (the wedding scene goes on forever) and whilst the last act smashes it out of the park MR has done enough in the first half (staggering PTS, centrifuge, Corinne's death, museum fight) to hang on for all the ludicrousness of the final space denouement (the effects and Barry's score holding off a sustained YOLT attack). They both put it all up on the screen but, whilst Bond probably really shouldn't go into space, MR has the cojones to slap it's cock down on the table and say 'Get a load of that' and you simply have to admire such chutzpah.
OHMSS v OP - OHMSS: A hard decision but I'm not going to one of these 'I am entitled to my opinion' cretins and deliberately be obtuse for the sake of it. I adore OP and for sheer entertainment it really can't be beaten and once Bond arrives in Germany we have a sequence till the bomb is defused to rival anythng in the series. But you can't overlook the fact that OHMSS is purest 100% proof Bond and that's going to be very tough for anyone to beat.
...come and get me you bastards!!11
OHMSS is the obvious choice here, but I do love me some OP as well.
This is why @TheWizardOfIce should be in charge of the next Bond production.
I agree.
For a foreigner, Darth, you are exceptionally cultivated.
OP over OHMSS. This one is a little tougher.
Happy to see MR fared better than QOS.
Round 5:
YOLT vs MR. Love both. My 2 favorite Bond films as a child. I'm going with MR.
and
OHMSS vs OP. Love both and they both feature 2 of the fastest paced, most exciting 2nd halves in the series but to prevent a total massacre I'm voting for OP.
All 004 of these are in my top 008.
YOLT vs MR
OHMSS vs OP
MR is a lower ranked Bond for me. However there is so much to enjoy in this film. I’ve just never been a fan of Bond in space. MR gets away with it, and it’s an epic film. But YOLT is a film that just grows on me every time I watch it.
Despite my unconditional love for OP, any Bond fan would find it hard to place Majesty’s below OP.
For me the 13th Bond film is an underrated gem. OHMSS is a genuine classic and one of the series very best.
Yes, that is the idea. Even people who never do a ranking, can contribute here, as everyone usually has a preference when given two options. Also interesting to see who moves against the current in various rounds.
