Hmm. Looks like I forget to mention John Barry's AVTAK score... Definitely one of the better ones in the whole franchise. He's able to capture the scale and absurdity of some of the action to great effect. But Barry also succeeds during the quieter …

A View To a Kill The last traditional James Bond film. I'll say it now to avoid any misunderstanding - Moore's last outing as Bond is a guilty pleasure of mine. Sue me. Before you shout "Blasphemy" ala Solitaire, let me start with what does…

Saturday LALD "He always did have an inflated opinion of himself." - 8 "Sheer magnetism, darling." - 20 (-2) TMWTGG "There's a useful four letter word, and you're full of it." - 4 TSWLM "Keeping the British end up, sir." - 49 "So does …

Octopussy They finally found the 'sweet spot' between MR's campyness and FYEO's dullness. Glen's second best effort after TLD imo. In OP, Moore gives his 'tried and tested' performance and although it's not anywhere near perfect, it still fits…

For Your Eyes Only After trudging through MR, it only gets worse. This is the only instance in the entire franchise where it breaks the tradition of "worse/ better/ worse" JB film. FYEO simply lacks fun and energy - the things that MR succeeded a…

Moonraker The first of Moore's JB films where things start to go south and I'm not talking about Rio. Might as well start with the obvious: too much campyness. The double-taking pigeon, the lasers, the space battle, the gondola and unfortunately,…

I've managed to salvage the quote I was referencing: “The globe trotting elements of “Batman Begins” mostly came from the Bond films. One of the first films I remember seeing was “The Spy Who Loved Me” and at a certain point the Bond films fixed …

It's no accident that Nolan gave him the part imo. I think Nolan once said that TSWLM was one of the first movies he ever watched and it inspired Batman Begins.

The Spy Who Loved Me The PTS is excellent. The shot of Bond skiing off the cliff deserves to be framed in a museum, right next to Kubrick's bone/ship match-cut. What makes this film part of the very best Bond films is the sheer magnitude of the p…

Mathis?

When Lee said "No, he won't be leaving", it actually reminded me of Craig in CR when he says "No, for one."
-
If Craig is actually returning then he'll only do one more. Ever. He stated in an interview (back in 2015 maybe) that he would never shoot 2 JB films back-to-back because of how tiresome it would be. Craig's also getting quite old so forget about…
