  • Neither of these I'm a fan of. But I'd have to go with You Only Live Twice, at least that film tried to be a decent Bond film at least, though Connery's performance (and his Japanese Makeup) really detriments the film everytime I'm watching it, b…

  • Between Die Another Day and A View To A Kill, I''ll go with Die Another Day: Sure, the villains are better in A View To A Kill, Gustav Graves is a caricature of a Bond villain, and wasted Toby Stephens (who's a good actor) in such a comical role,…
  • Moore should not be in A View To A Kill, his age was just really showing, his body just wasn't fit for the role. Actually, since then, as much as I think Moore is the most handsome actor to play Bond, I think since from the get go, his age did re…

  • On Her Majesty's Secret Service would be my pick too, it's got a great story, a beautiful cinematography, a Bond Girl who can really match Bond in all aspects! A more developed and fleshed out romance, and a plot that successfully combined the James…
  • Actually the film had some memorable parts but for the other things: Most people remember this film for Bibi Dahl (the girl who hooked up with Bond), the notorious Pre Title Sequence about Blofeld and his delicatessen line, the ending with Thatcher…
  • The problem with this film was it's very low key, low key in a sense that it's too much small scale, there's no certain grandiosity in the film, so as a result, there's little memorability to it. And the technical aspects of it doesn't helped eit…

  • If you can pick a classical composer to do Bond themes, like we have John Barry, David Arnold and etc., Now, if we're going to replace them with classical composers, per film, which one and whom? Antonio Vivaldi will be my version of Monty Norman…

  • Both aren't my favorites, not much of a Moore Fan (my only favorite of his is Moonraker), then I prefer LTK for Dalton. But in this one, I prefer TLD, LALD, for me was really a slow watch (slow paced), it's a film with an overlong chases in diffe…
  • What needs an explanation are those missions that happened in the PTS, that had no connection to the main film, or separate from the main film. 1. Goldfinger, we all know that it's Bond doing a night duty, but it would be interesting to know who'…
  • 007HallY wrote: » Cool thread. I suppose it's probably because Bond isn't in it, but I always become interested in Scaramaga's life in TMWTGG's PTS. Like, how did he get to the point of being the best assassin in the world? Why does he have this w…

  • For me, they have interesting premises, but missed on that, really. Goodnight, for example was meant to be a British agent (with the exception of Strawberry Fields or Miranda Frost), she's the only primary/main Bond Girl who's working behalf of B…
  • Just from what I've observed, can we safely say that the Moore Bond Girls are poorly written? (Kinda like a step down from the 60's Bond Girls). Solitaire - A good actress in Jane Seymour, but the character was just passive and didn't do much, mo…
  • Does anyone know that Melina was a callback to Honey Ryder? It's been said in some trivia that 'Mel' was a latin word for Honey, but in Greek, the word for it was 'Mele/Meli'. So Melina means Honey Ryder. So, I may be nitpicking here, but I…
  • You know, I really love the scene of Bond talking sincerely to Manuela after he'd saved her from Jaws, I think Moore showed a bit of humanity in there, I really see the concern in Moore's face while doing that scene.
  • My main idea for the game would be: Since it's released on 2012 (Skyfall's release & the Anniversary of the Franchise), this how I would've done it: This game was set before the events of Skyfall, with the Quantum organization still being …
