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!!🥰
