Please excuse me. I know a lot of forums don't encourage double posting, but I thought of something else I'd change. In my opinion after Live And Let Die, Felix Leiter is absent for too long. It makes Licence To Kill a little anti-climactic. Bond…

In my opinion Octopussy is Roger Moore's overall best Bond outing, however The Spy Who Loved Me can rightfully be said to be the point at which he comfortably settled fully into the Bond role. I agree with what I once read somewhere that each actor'…

These have all been some very cool posts.

My very first Bond movie was The Man With The Golden Gun on television sometime during the mid 1980's. It must have been between the making of Octopussy and A View To A Kill. My curiosity in that initial movie led to me tracking down all the others …

@Master_Dahark Interesting comparison. In this thread you speak of how the Moore films may have been different with Connery. However in the opposote thread it sounds like you are saying you can see the Connerys and OHMSS as more or less playing …

@Master_Dahark I heard Roger was one of the candidates for Bond's role in the very beginning when casting Dr. No. So who knows? This run of 14 films at least could or could not have been a genuine possibility.

This has never been made into a movie as far as I know. but once when browsing through a book exchange I saw a title that most sounded fitting for a Bond adventure. Heads You Die, Tails They Kill You

Then there's getting thrown into a coffin full of venomous snakes. Nasty albeit relatively quick. Even if Baron Samedi can never truly die, it couldn't have been an enjoyable experience for him.

My controversial opinion is that the Pierce Brosnan films are way too over the top violent. But I also have a confession. Out of the four Brosnans I do hold a soft spot towards Tomorrow Never Dies, even though I don't like the violence.

(quote from mtm) Good point about the KGB: why does Pola disappear? Just because Bond takes her tape it doesn't mean her investigation stops: he barely learns anything from the tape anyway. It might have been quite fun if she'd popped up at the mine…

I don't necessarily think it's bad. I can enjoy some stories, even if they don't necessarily make a lot of sense. Basically I can see it as fun and enjoyable even in its silliness. I can see what somebody else once said in a blog post. It's difficul…

On the one hand the shower scene does feel like the standard Bond thing, but on the other hand, as others have pointed out due to Moore's age, Stacey seems a bit young for Bond to actually seduce. After the way Bond gently turns down Dink in For …

I agree with the idea of making May Day a villain through and through. Her change of sides comes way too easily. Here's how I imagine the finale alternative for the movie: Let's say Zorin and May Day genuinely love each other and Dr. Carl Mortner…
