Considering I haven't seen eyes wide shut, I do wonder which of these two you compare to Porky's revenge (not that I remember much of that film, saw it years ago when drunk, which was iirc the way to see it).
For me DAF is so utterly boring, with so many random mistakes, I can't get into the film. It also detracts from Wint and Kidd whom could have been quite menacing like in the novel, but end up being oofs. Obviously, plenty is a bit of a redeeming factor, and she does describe the film perfectly (you choose between 'youre a wonderful guy, a bit weird, but wonderful' or ' is this a perverts' convention or something's), but it's not enough to keep me watching the full film.
SP had the right idea, executed badly. Blofeld trying to get on Bond's nerves is fair game, but trying to do it through a family angle is just plain stupid considering we've been conditioned for 60 years that Bond in fact has no family. Why would he start caring now? The backtracking through previous films and adding quantum to it (why not leave it a separate entity) was also just wrong. That's how you create plotholes, not how you cover them. Other than that the story holds up a bit, Madeleine is interesting, White even more so and the locales are better than the sleazy part of last Vegas (I know, it's as good as all of it). The gliding plane beeping rubbish again though. Going for the same one-way story-suits-goal writing rather than having it develop naturally. But I still prefer it over the moon buggy chase. Winks to conspiracy theories shouldn't encompass entire sets.
Like I said, it's comparing Eyes Wide Shut to Porky's Revenge.
Ah, but SPECTREs got Monica!!🥰
Would you rather watch MR (59%) OR TND (57%)?
We have a big and bold film adventure in MR. Bond globe trots and even leaves earth. Yes it's funny and wild. It is a popcorn movie in every sense of the word. Roger delivers a wonderful performance and is charming in the role.
Rotten Tomatoes says Featuring one of the series' more ludicrous plots but outfitted with primo gadgets and spectacular sets, Moonraker is both silly and entertaining.
OR
A loud and bodacious adventure that was a follow up to GE. Plagued by an un-finished script while filming was happening. We have an OTT villain who chews the scenery, a henchman that is menacing.
Rotten Tomatoes says A competent, if sometimes by-the-numbers entry to the 007 franchise, Tomorrow Never Dies may not boast the most original plot but its action sequences are genuinely thrilling.
Which one is hitting your screen?
But... I like Moore more than Brosnan so it's a difficult choice.
I'll say TND.
TND is drab and dull and feels more like a Bond pastiche than the genuine article. Even the lauded action sequences I find are diluted by copious gunfire, overuse of the Bond theme turning them into walls of noise.
MR all the way!!!! The pts alone is worth all of TND!
TND, I do appreciate, but locations are important for me and this one is a bit... colourless.
