Well it's al a matter of perspective. :-)
But seriously I'm surprised you (or anyone for that matter) rank DAD higher then SP.
The begining of DAD is fine (except for the CGI) - the rest is a complete let down. Except I do enjoy some parts of the the car chase on ice.
Yes he does but so does he in FYEO & OP, overall on rewatch Moore's 007 movie got a lot of spectacle in them (Brocolli did put the money on the screen!!) and quite a few very dark moments that always get overlooked by the Moore hate-squad.
Yes, I love OP too :D
He is such a bastard in TMWTGG.....but looks so cool doing it too. Love it.
Octopussy was on last night, so I watched it, with mild trepidation… but I needed not be so negative – if you cut out the goofy jungle escape from Khan’s palace this is actually a very solid James Bond movie. It’s strengths far outweigh the negatives:
- PTS: what a great stunt
- 009 hunt opening scene: tense & quite Fleming. This is actually one of the darkest openings of the series...
- Bond @ the auction: again – pure Fleming, great stuff!
- Bond’s snooping around Khan’s palace… how long has it been since we’ve had 007 detective work like this…?
- The whole Karl-marx-Stadt sequence/climax. Never understood why so many have a beef with the costume – it’s called disguise, quite an easy concept…
- The stuntwork on the plane at the end: no other Bondfilm is bookended by two such great aerial stunts as OP
The loose narrative & poor editing choices (tonal consistency & pace are its main problems) let OP down & prevent it from being more than a mid-table 007 adventure. But it has a great Bond thriller at it’s core.
One point : the whole defusing the bomb scene does not take place in Karl-Marx Stadt (today Chemnitz. At that time, Chemnitz was in East Germany (hence the name), and for obvious reasons, didn't have an american military base nearby. So it happens in West Germany, more precisely in Feldstadt.
Danke für die Erklärung :P
The best Bond film since the 60's.
Top marks.
MOONRAKER !!!! For me!!! A masterpiece and Oscar worthy compared to Brosnan bonds. Spectre a couple of notches down!
Good to hear, my daughter is only 5 1/2 years old, but you can bet on it, the first Bond movie I'm going to show her in probably 3 years or so will be Spectre.
Sounds about right! Mine just turned 9 last weekend!
It was my third time. Still loving it!
I've always been highly fond of this one. This is a hardcore, raw, and fiercely determined 007.
Timothy Dalton is the hardest Bond. Excellent acting.
Franz Sanchez is a fantastically nasty villain.
Love this film! :D
Cinema. This might be the closest I get. Both this and Moonraker were made on
Such a grand scale, they need to be seen on the big screen, or at least the biggest
you can get.
Not my favourite Bond film, but wonderful on Bluray :)
A superior Bond movie that effortlessly executes compelling story telling with great action that conveys class, sophistication and elegance without forced pretentiousness. This film is a classic new age gold standard.
LOL! I feel as you do. I feel that Casino Royale is the best depiction of a modern 007! It's a modern classic! :D
Far better than LTK I now think.
