Just like Batman Begins, which I also am thankful for, I have to look past a few points that are at best, poorly thought out. The irrational Madagascar chase (and its more out of character conclusion) is one of these. But even then, the sequence contains one of my favorite moments in any action...

interesting comments Mark. I watched it again last night with these thoughts in mind, and came to the conclusion that must be a big component of why I like it so much. The conflict with female authority, whether it's M or Vesper who controls his purse strings, seems like a breath of fresh air...

I haven't read the book, so I'm curious as to what Vespers offical capacity was. Did she have any authority over the dispensation of the money or was that an invention of the movie?

this is my last word on this (off the rails)subject- but I was sending a PM last night and I noticed I had gotten one from Richard a couple months back. Apparently, out of this whole forum, he is the only other person who knew who Gordon Scott was when I posted the obit notice. He also at that...

:laugh: Richard, you sound really upset about something. Did you just catch your girlfriend cheating on you or divorce your wife or something? Do you want to talk about it?

wow Mike, nicely said. needless to say I agree with it, especially the summation.

Richard, I just got to chuckle at all this because I just didn't and don't see the qualities you are in the material. For me, this character in CR interacted with women (including his superiors) in ways that I felt were refreshingly appropriate. From the moment Dench uttered "you're a...

Didn't bother me. I remember hearing a lot of people up in arms early on when it was revealed he wouldn't be smoking in this movie. In retrospect I think that was a great change, because I would have a hard time 'buying' a guy that smokes having the lung capacity to be able to do the physical...

Most fans think Brosnans Bonds were more sophisticated (humour-wise) than Moores, but line like "I thought Christmas only came once a year" and "you're a cunning linguist" annoyed me like few others- and I bet that is closer to what they are going to saddle Craig with (if this story is true...

Thanks for setting me straight Mark. I knew that FYEO and LTK cribed some scenes from it, so I just assumed the final product of LALD must have been vastly different. The only Flemming book I've actually read so far (and finished) was Moonraker. I picked that one cause I knew it would be...

many(most?) of the films never hewed very closely to the books anyway. They could do a Live and Let Die and it would almost nothing like the Roger Moore film. That said, it looks like they are going to try for a more serial nature to these for a while, and its a great idea.

As expected, this film has only gone up in esteem upon further viewings. I love nearly everything about it, including the theme song. When it kicks in, it punctuates the gunbarrel preamble perfectly to me. Sometime in the fall I'll be getting a Bd player, and no matter what else might come...

I can see this Bond seducing a gay male if it was intrinsic to the mission. In fact, like it or not, I think it's pretty plausible to assume that not 100% of the personalities that an agent like this would have to collide with in real life would be completely straight. Its been a very...

I noticed this too. I was wondering if this film would be enough for me to consider picking up a Bd player in the spring, but I would have concerns how well Sony (and Mpeg2) will handle all the natural grain here. If they haven't gotten their act together by then, the eventual disc could be a...

the more I've thought about this movie over the week-end, the more I've liked it . I just remember the shot on the beams when the terrorist runs out of bullets and throws the gun at Bond. Daniel just kicked ass again and again throughout. I'm thrilled he ended up having the last laugh- I just...

I think the only Bond film I could have even possibly seen twice would have been Moonraker. It was released at a time when I spent most of my free time at the theater. But I'm pretty sure I only saw it once. For some reason, though I've enjoyed them quite a bit, and enough to buy them on...

I never thought the title sequence was an attempt at being PC- rather, like the rest of the film, just being unique- while still trying to channel the spirit of the occasion- and not just another endless slight variation on the same theme. I actually liked that the girls were a no show here. I...

one of my first thoughts upon leaving the theatewr last night, was that there will probably be a sizable chunk of the audience that will say this one was dull or boring. I liked and was intrigued by the characters and their relationships (with some minor exceptions*) so i was up and along for...

if there was any film in the series CR most felt like to me, it would have been OHMSS. And I haven't seen Goldeneye since it was first released, by my impression is they are pretty far removed in texture and feel, as well as obviously content. Looking forward to hearing what people think...

very suprised to see no one else chiming in on this. The midnight show I went to was about 25% full , but the film got some healthy applause at the end. things that I didn'tmention in the review *Spoilers Ahead* - Really liked the opening credits. The song wasn't all that good, but I...
