20 times as long as it took Newman to Ctrl C Ctrl V the score from SF to SP.
The same 10 minutes you gave me. It was the least I could do for a friend. ;)
Nowadays it looks so cheap and barely anything works. Bottom 2-3 if it were canon.
Ouch!
I'm not the biggest fan of the film, but I enjoy it for what it is. Sure, it's missing some of the trimmings of the EON stable (most notably John Barry and Ken Adam), but it's not all bad. I think Connery is in fine form in the film and he alone is worth the price of admission for me. It's a privilege to see the man who started it all back in the role one last time. He was and is the best imho.
Honestly the disregard for tradition in the Craig films has made me love NSNA all the more.
True. It has a completely different feel than TB.
And I disagree. Celi is much better Largo and Paluzzi is leagues ahead of Carrera.
I'm not sure how anyone could even rate Celi's work, considering that the entirety of the performance was dubbed by Robert Rietty.
EON would have been lucky to get Brandauer. He's a terrific actor.
He's very good with all the unhinged stuff.
I think Connery did it for his own pleasure, career and the fans. Spiting Cubby was a bonus. Critically, the film was better received than OP considered to be more grounded, better villain (debatable of course), and the superior Bond. It did well at the box office and while I liked it more at the time, it has not aged well. Plus you now have superior films made afterwards and it continues to be piled on at the bottom of the pack. Ultimately, I think it was a lost opportunity to have Connery back one last time, it should have been a better film. C'est la vie.
I kept a few of those big-box VHS tapes, just for old times sake.
My opinion on the films? Octopussy was too silly to ever make classic Bond status. Of the two, I'd rather watch NSNA.
OP has plenty of silly stuff - Tarzan yell, gorilla and clown costumes, cheesy humor... Had they done it more seriously, it would have been one of the best films in the series. Even so, for me it's one of the two best Moore films.
NSNA is a much weaker film, but it has its moments, and I simply cannot hate a Connery Bond movie.
Ditto. It was an innovation from the usual card game, and just might have been the sort of novelty someone like Largo would have amused himself with at the time. And given that all video game graphics eventually date, I don't mind the now-retro look. The movie's nearly four decades old after all.
Sorry @Birdleson we can't merge two threads together. (Be good if we could)
The only option would be too close one.
It s one of the daftest things in the film. The idea of Bond playing a video game is dumb enough in itself, and then they present something as ludicrous as that on top.
