  • People claiming boredom with the underwater scenes in TB has been a longtime complaint. I like them as the underwater world feels like a character or a different world all its own, sort of how the snowy landscape does in OHMSS or Japan does in YOLT.…

  • I was 15 when I saw Blade Runner the first time and instead of getting a thrill ride along the lines of Ford's two previous summer blockbusters, I got a ponderous, philosophical film without much action but a lot of great scenery. Major disappointme…
  • It's noteworthy looking over this thread is that even nearly a decade ago that the discussion at hand gets sidetracked into the merits or lack of in other films in comparison and what's considered a classic. SF would likely figure into these now, bu…
  • I've seen a lot of love for LALD in recent years and find it surprising. Even in rankings of Moore movies it seems to rate a little higher. One poster above rates Moore's performance and the action a 9 of 10 and even for hardcore fans that seems ove…
  • Personally, I love the teaser poster with the simple tagline "The Most Dangerous Bond -- Ever." That got me so excited to see that film back at the time along with the few glimpses I had of Dalton in action.

  • Does anybody else ever wonder, particularly those who don't like TND in its present form, what it may have been like had they gone with the original idea of creating the story based around the idea of echo wrote: » thelivingroyale wrote: » Ye…
  • DarthDimi wrote: » I wonder if this is controversial. I think Connery acted worse in YOLT than he did in DAF and NSNA. I wouldn't disagree. I maintain it isn't so much his acting in YOLT as he's just not given a whole lot to do but operate …

  • Can we just eliminate Elvis here? So many votes for him, but he's really just a part of the organization and not a henchman in the classic sense. He's not in on any assaults or action, really. When I think of a real henchman in the Bond sense, I'm t…
  • Venutius wrote: » Agreed. The hand to hand stuff in SF was a big drop off from CR and QOS. I get that Patrice is also an elite killer so Bond's not going to just steamroller him, but so was Slate and that fight was really well done. In Shanghai, …
