laughable, Skyfall is the only Bond movie that has no appeal at all and certainly nothing glossy about it as well. It's a serious, gritty, slow-paced, melodramatic, soap-opera with beautiful looks and a few action scenes.
Ok, stop...it appeals to young nerd-like hipsters and young women who want to be taught they can't have a job in the man's world and belong behind the desk doing simple paperwork.
P.S. Learn how to use the quote function correctly.
Die Another Day is over-the-top, almost comic adaption like fun. And that's good.
But I get that the anti-Brosnan fraction is in desperate need for a movie to bash that has Brosnan in it and DAD is the only one that can be bashed without loosing all credibility at once.
Comedy gold
all three
:))
DAF had Connery, Barry, Bassey, Adam and Hamilton. That alone adds a level of class money can't buy. Yeah, it's bizarre, bloated, even surreal, but it's unmistakably a Bond pic and, for me, a very enjoyable romp. I will defend DAD, it has it's moments, but DAF is leagues ahead. It's an over-sized portion of Foie Gras to DAD's Happy Meal with a shit toy.
Also, @Gustav_Graves, can you please change the thread title to 'Losing', rather than 'Loosing'. Thank you mate.
Ah yes, those typical grammar and spelling errors people make who's first language isn't English. It happens to me too, although I really try hard not to fall into a spelling or grammar trap.
You are right about DAF having all those classic elements. That is the reason why DAF is not a bad movie at all. It is just the least good one (for me and many people).
Even when you have 23 good movies in a list, one has to be at the bottom.
I personally am in agreement. MR blows DAD out of the water in every possible way imho.
Although MR doesn't need a comparable movie to make it 'seem' good. It does what it does beautifully and is a damn good romp of a movie. Anyone who can't have fun with MR needs a pint and possibly a slap.
=))
Skyfall is a masterpiece in comparison and I'd watch QOS in a heartbeat over this which is the lowest point of the series. His previous entries were pretty bad but Brosnan even managed to top the awfulness of Connery's swan song, quite a feat really.
I'm with you. I don't really have a problem with it. Perhaps neither of us take ourselves too seriously.
The PTS of FYEO? Just bloody great, especially the graveyard scene.
Jaws being clumsy, priceless!
Laser fight in MR or tank chase in GE, I love it.
Movies should entertain, make one forget their worries, and make one leave the cinema in good spirits. Then the producers of a film did something right.
If I want to see something depressing I go and watch Mystic Rivers, Million Dollar Baby or Carrington. All great movies.
Darling @BondJasonBond006 ;-). You should add some 'great depressing' Bond films to that list as well ;-):
--> FRWL
--> OHMSS
--> FYEO
--> LTK
--> CR
Problem is that DAD left a lot of Bond fans really depressed
Sure the script could have been better but like somere said this film works fine to have fun a few hours and end up in with a good mood.
And like Jason here has said many times seems like all hate isbecause of the bad CGI in one scene but apart from that is one of the most visually stunning films in the series.
Especially the ice palace and the car chase in the ice and the invisible car.
not where I live, but maybe the Swiss are all happy-go-lucky people

The whole point of discussing opinions is to share your view points to come to a greater understanding. I have never thought Die Another Day had gloss or appeal. As previously stated, I had to watch it twice to even follow everything that happened. It's not a film that can easily be categorized as a parody or fun when the beginning of it attempts to be a legitimate mission. The last time I saw it, it felt like I was watching two separate films.
Bless @Getafix for never losing gloss and appeal. I enjoyed your posts in this thread as much as the Skyfall thread. :)>-
