That's Blofeld, though. Blofeld is the lord of cliches, and he's supposed to be a Machiavellian villain. What's the easiest way to show that in a film? By introducing him in a shadowy, hidden manner. Note that I said "easiest", not "best".
#3 SP- Love it, love it, love it. Even 99% of the London finale is great IMO
#6 MR- My favourite of the Moore films, the scenes in Rio and leading up to Bond finding Drax's Amazon base is enough for me.
#7 DAF- I still can never figure out why I have strong feelings towards it. Sean doesn't look bored at all and it looks like he's having a blast. Perhaps I just enjoy it based on the fact that it is so utterly different from the others (well at least his films alone)
I find words like 'masterpiece' and 'legendary' hyperbolic in their general use. I was joshing with mcdon, though, I don't doubt he has has solid reasons for thinking what he does.
My top 10 Bond films are amongst my top 50 or so best films of all time (call me shallow, uncultured or a simpleton).
So you'll frequently see me saying brilliant, awesome, amazing, fantastic, exceptional, incredible, remarkable, phenomenal, marvelous, wonderful etc. etc. when referring to my top 10.
Conversely, my bottom two Bond films are amongst the biggest disappointments I've encountered in my life. Normally, you will see me referring to them, euphemistically, as a PoS (piece of " ").
But ah well. I admit liking it very much when I was younger. I was around 5-6 when The World Is Not Enough came out and to the age of 10, it used to be one of my favourite... Back then, for a young lad, theatrics and drama didn't matter much but action heroes and cool things did... That's how I viewed Bond, back then. But, as years have gone in advanced, the film lifted down on my list close to the bottom, as well.
Wow.I love TWINE.Its tied with TND as my favourite Brosnan Bond.
Haha well said.
This guy loves it. You might think I'm *waltz voice* Cuckoooooo
:P
It is very much loved overall, at least in these forums. I sure consider one of the best of Moore's entries.
TWINE is one of my fave movies depending on the mood even my favorite Bond movie of all time.
Also I really like DAF. It's positive overall to me and I like the silliness in DAF much much more than in the Moore movies.
Actually I LOVE 17 out of 24 Bond movies.
I like another 7 Bond movies.
I even like NSNA.
NSNA
TWINE
DAD
QOS
I love all the films above, but they sit near the bottom of the list.
This year, I realised a new appreciation for AVTAK, and just recently, DAF. After 20 years of watching TMWTGG I'm still warming up to it. Some parts I really enjoy, like the scenes in China, Beirut, the dinner scene. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before I, as Max Denbigh would say, "see the light".
It may have had a slight reevaluation over time but when I first got into Bond this was seen as dead last by many and a subject of ridicule. But I gotta tell you - I love chucking this alternately goofy and glorious film on. This may be sacrilege but from the Moore era I'd put this above OP, AVTAK, MWTGG and I watch it more often than TSWLM.
It's a case of blatant style over substance...but what style!!
Funny how 20 months can change. SP was rolling high probably because I always feel strongly about a new Bond film. Now, it's probably middle pack, maybe just outside the top 10 now that the novelty has worn off. Moonraker and Diamonds are Forever hasn't changed.
Probably the most spectacular PTS in the series, a very droll villain and a couple of very tense scenes, such as the centrefuge and the doberman attack scene.
Likewise AVTAK. Probably the best villain in the whole series. Sir Rog seems very serious in this, and genuinely appears to despise Zorin. Mayday is memorable, the Golden Gate fight is fantastic. Patrick Macnee makes a great sidekick, not to mention the best title song and a top 5 Barry soundtrack.
