  • In FYEO, why does Columbo set up his fake argument with Lisl at the casino and allow Bond to take her home? Surely he must have expected Kristatos and his men to trail Bond and cause some trouble. It seems strange that he would relinquish his woman …
  • I agree, and yes, @Ludovico, like you said, none of them are recycled, which is very refreshing. I never mind the old hat endings of the majority of Bond movies, since it's sort of an expected staple of the series, but it's nice to have the variety …

  • For Your Eyes Only One of the most enjoyable Bond movies for me- there's a combination of both a very fluid pace and solid plot and character progression that makes FYEO a very satisfying adventure, and it sure is an adventure! The location work …

  • The Man with the Golden Gun Truthfully, TMWTGG stands as one of my favorite Bond movies. No, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, considering the fact that the plot holes abound and there are some absurd, outlandish elements, but that's the natu…

  • Live and Let Die First of all, really glad to be back around here! I lost some of my Bond "mojo" there for about a month and a half, but have recently picked it back up and am quite ready to roll with it again as I travel through the series in se…

  • Birdleson wrote: » I don't find Gray's Blofeld "horrid" at all. Just a different take. I think that he's quite enjoyable to watch in the role. Not up to Savalas or the unseen Blofeld, from the earlier films, but much stronger than Donald Pleasa…

  • Diamonds Are Forever Similar to my review on TLD, and yet entirely opposite of that opinion, I don't understand why I enjoy DAF as much as I do. Much like my mediocre feelings towards TLD, there's no real reason why I should favor DAF the way tha…

  • The Living Daylights I've never been able to figure out why I'm not crazy about TLD- there's really no reason for it. It boasts an intricate, detailed plot, some fairly memorable adversaries, a pristine soundtrack, solid action, excellent locatio…
  • From Russia with Love Although it contains possibly the least action in the series, FRWL is still able to hold my interest from start to finish. Its strength rests in its dialogue scenes, which are never wasted; most all of them propel the plot f…

  • I'd have to go with Goldfinger, more than likely- other than the electrocution of the capungo in the PTS, there's not much else in terms of violence. Oddjob snaps Tilly's neck with his hat about halfway through, but beyond that, the majority of the …

  • Tomorrow Never Dies As an unflinching Brosnan Bond fan, TND has consistently remained at the top of my rankings for as long as I've been watching it. Thankfully, that has not changed on this most recent viewing! TND is such a fast-paced, get in/g…

  • Without a doubt, I'd show a Bond newbie the duel between Bond and Alec Trevelyan on the satellite dish at the end of GoldenEye- besides some very exciting action, there's some character gold to Bond himself with the "No, for me" line, as well as the…
