Compared to QOS, its a masterpiece of editing.
The thing that bugs me about Halle is that she thinks it's HER film. It's like she's treating it as a preview for her spin off adventure. ("Hey I'm Halle aren't I amazing").
Denise Richards may have been a crappy actress but at least she stayed in the sidelines and let Bond take centre stage.
But TWINE did have the famous walking stick gun, used in the novel 'Casino Royale'. And we know that not Le Chiffre's henchman did use that one, but Zukovsky did. Moreover, I found the torture scene a nice teaser towards the 'real deal torture scene' in 'Casino Royale'.
DAD is crapola starting with the gunbarrel and is a weeping pus set of pustule ridden limbs all the way to the end scene.
TWINE has amazing villains, especially Elektra. But it's just weak. We see the rise of the Dench agenda, muscling in to the series with her "great" acting and the dreaded word of Bonddom..."Character Development".
DAD has grown on me with subsequent viewings of it and TND (Brosnan's worst imo) and the release of QOS.
But yea, TWINE will always win over DAD, TND and QOS
Also Dench's line "Shadows stay infront or behind...never on top" alone makes TWINE superior.
Have no idea but would be nice if Skyfall had a tiny tribute to Desmond Llewelyn in the same way. Nothing in your face, just a tiny bit of class.
I don't get why people have such huge problems with Richards. Her job was to look hot and get saved by Bond, and she did it fairly well. How is she any worse than Roberts, etc?
And don't give me that "she was playing a scientist!" crap. It's a film, the way some people talk you'd think they wanted a real one cast.
Renard could've been better but he was a decent enough villian, and Elektra was great. The final fight was a bit of a let down but most of the action is good, the thames chase especially (best PTS of the series imo). There's one action scene I don't like, and that's when Bond slides away from the fireball on the chains when it probably would've been faster to run.
Zukofsky is back and he's just as good as he was in Goldeneye, the locations are cool, the story is a bit messy but still better than lots of Bond films (cough, MR, QOS and more, cough).
I think TWINE is one of the most underrated Bond films.
I wouldn't go far. It has it's fair share of problems but it has some good moments. I think it's an average Bond film, not the worst but certainly not the best either.
I completely agree. The first act of DAD actually is compelling but then explodes with stupidity, while TWINE is just a feast of mediocrity with a few fun things. TO be honest, I think that a better director would have made TWINE a better film.
I've written this before, but Bond has the gun on the bad guy halfway through the film and does not kill him, and the audience I saw him with shouted, shoot him! lol
Even Brosnan laugh about it in the Everything or Nothing documentary.
This is an asinine debate over which is the better movie. The World Is Not Enough is Brosnan's best Bond film, Die Another Day is his worst, although Tomorrow Never Dies does come close. Best pre credits sequence, good theme song, at least in terms of that awful crap that Madonna gave us, decent villains, exciting set pieces, lots to get involved in, it has Robert Carlyle and Robert Coltrane, and plenty of action for all to enjoy. Only let down by a poor, and embarrassing ending
Bottom line is, TWINE is by far the better of the two. I can't believe this was ever brought up for debate in the first place
Not as embarrassing as DAD's.
It wouldn't have killed him anyway, remember? He's invincible. He can't feel pain and will get stronger and stronger until the day he dies.
"You can't kill me, I'm already dead"
