Overall I find the score very memorable.
One of my favourites.
Also quite a big Serra fan outside 007, especially Le grand bleu and Nikita are brilliant scores. Léon and The Fifth Element are pretty good too.
I like Stacey Sutton's screaming.
Under the right situation her screaming 'James" could be quite fun, if your name happens to be James.
Controversial opinion:
Under NO circumstances, should James Bond sport a goatee or beard (unless he's being tortured for 14 months), and under NO circumstances should he sport a high fade.
I suppose that rules out a few candidates for the part once Craig retires.
Indeed. I have no problems with her screaming either. She makes up for it in other ways. To be honest, I quite like Ms. Sutton. She's certainly better & more credible than "Dr." Jones (a sick joke denigrating a great character by name inference), at least imho.
Very good point. The character and Tanya Roberts' acting wasn't that bad either, IMO. A good-looking Bond girl, too!
Definitely agree. I think she handled the character just fine.
Controversial opinion: I like her voice! :))
That's a good way to describe it!
But it continued throughout the film. That's the difference.
Agreed on this.
I think Moore intentionally came across a bit more as a world weary veteran, rather than his usual playboy self. Particularly his utter contempt for Zorin. A far cry from the far more genial relationship he seemed to have with Kamal in the film preceding this.
I've seen this opinion expressed here before. I can't say I've noticed it myself though, but will look out for it the next time I see the film. I have noticed that Moore is much more serious in this film than he is in OP. There's more of an edge to his portrayal.
Every time I see a Tarantino film or his name being mentioned, it only reminds me how much is left to be desired in the script department in the Bond films (especially dialogue).
No doubt the Bond films need some new script writers.
That is as far away from controversial as it could possibly get on this site! I don't think there's any fan of P&W left. That would be controversial if someone claimed to be!
It's not even that they're bad, it's just that they have been more miss than hit. Even Richard Maibaum sat a every couple of films out. Nothing else that they have done has been hits. That's probably one of the reasons why DC kept debating coming back: Barbara needs to get rid of them! Based not coming back originally for Spectre and their comments about fitting/writing in a James Bond in modern times, is a sign that they are DONE! WHY ARE THEY STILL AROUND?! No wonder Danny Boyle and John Hodge left: They didn't want THEM in particular to mess up their script! End of rant, sorry.
I don't think anyone would argue with the points in this rant. I feel the scripts are particularly bad in the films from the last decade or so – even the highly praised SF (can't remember how much involvement they had here or not).
I think the majority of the plot is theirs. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Logan's main contribution was the Q scene and the scenes in China. I could be wrong.
Agreed.
I see. I find their plot generally a bit "meh", and the dialogue awkward at times, which reflects on the viewing experience of the films. I wonder if they'll have any involvement in Bond 25 now that Boyle and Hodge have left the production.
I recommend Some Kind of Hero. It goes into detail about earlier drafts. At one point, Felix was going to have a scene with M.
