  • No, it's not Bond's daughter, neither was Madeleine's, sure, her eyes are blue (thanks there, CGI), but her hair is not blonde (both Bond and Maddie are blonde), it's not their kid, it's a child of someone else's couple and Madeleine just happened t…
  • Probably, Quantum Of Solace or Licence To Kill, either of those two.....

  • This is absurd really 😅 I didn't liked CR '67 and it's the film I wished was made differently, or better not to be in existence, just ridiculous all around and didn't makes sense, it's even more weirder than what The Beatles did in their Magical …

  • That's why it's a bit odd for me when the Producers referenced it in FYEO PTS, especially given of the film's reputation at the time. And it's more explicit than ever before, it felt like a direct sequel to OHMSS with Blofeld being even based off…

  • Again, for me, I have no against Bond dying or any choices they've made, it's more about on execution and the way it's written. It could've been so much better, it's a missed opportunity for me, they took a risk but they've dropped the ball and p…
  • Moore had good and better TV shows than his films, The Saint and The Persuaders were all better than his filmography outside of Bond, the only remarkable films he'd starred in were the Bond films, of course. Brosnan's films were better than his T…
  • I liked Moore's TV shows, not much on his non Bond films, my favorite of the lot is The Persuaders, for such a brief TV show, it's one of the best, it worked in all aspects especially the acting and chemistry between the leads (Moore and Curtis), th…

  • #10 for me, for me this is where the Brosnan Era really stands out, all of his Pre-Title Sequences were all great, fun, action packed and memorable. Die Another Day for me is such a promising start to a Bond film (seeing Bond tackling the issues …
  • The only one I've enjoyed from Craig so far is Knives Out (I haven't watched Glass Onion yet), the rest were kinda okay, the films that I've seen from him tend to be more dark and serious, more matured than his Bond films, and there's Craig always s…

  • I may ask especially that I've already mentioned it here, but why to use OHMSS when they could've use a reference from the Connery Era to show the continuity? I mean, OHMSS was still the dark horse/black sheep of the Franchise at the time, so, it's …

  • Yes! Thank you! @GoldenGun I have it at the last place of my rankings, and I've explained already my reasons for disliking it! The visit to Tracy's grave almost took many years and many films, this should've been right after OHMSS, or maybe a fi…
  • Neither for me, so this is a pass. Next question, please? 😊
  • #16 for me, really do people in this forum ranked the PTS of For Your Eyes Only higher than this? Heck, I even ranked it higher than Licence To Kill, because it's just so much fun. It's so much fun! Although yes, I prefer others better, but it's …

  • I liked that Bond is the one that gets chased by the enemies, it brings out the vulnerability in him, my favorite example of this is in OHMSS where Bond gets chased by Irma Bunt and the SPECTRE henchmen in the Swiss Market/Skating Rink. Bond chas…
