crap story good effects, but then how many films can you say that about these days.

Far too many in my opinion. No wonder people are downloading them first to see if they are worth watching at the pictures.

Well, Die Another Day was the worst Bond movie ever. There are tons of bad action movies that are better in story, special effects and computer animation. That movie was the worst pos ever. I had really low expectations of the movie but I was totally disappointed. I really love Bond movies. Got 19 on DVD ... this one never going to buy it even if it will mean that I will be missing a complete Bond collection.

You couldn't have been disappointed if you had low expectations. You surely got what you expected.  :?

Startrek Nemesis

full of holes, errors, and a PANTS story line.  Its like someone dug up an old idea for a regular episode and padded it out to a film.....  insurection was the same....  baddies not credible enough.

Yes Die Another Day was a little too far fetched, but Pierce Brosnan kicks ass compared to Roger Moore and his trademark eyebrows.  Was there ever a decent Roger Moore bond film?  I think not.

Plus a man can never have too much Halle Berry.

Just saw Gangs of New York - truly excellent Daniel Day-Lewis performance and Dicaprio isn't as bad as I thought he'd be.  Not sure about Jim Broadbent's "New Yawk" accent though.

Live and Let Die, Man with the Golden Gun, View to a Kill.....

Sheesh monkey boy. Roger Moore IS James Bond. He brought the humour into the series. Sean Connery was the action Bond.

The only thing Pierce has brought along is commercials ... shiiiiite ... could you PLEASE zoom a bit closer on that Aston Martin logo ...

Actually the best Bond-movies if we only look at the story are (imho)

In Her Majesties Secret Service
The Living Daylight
Licenced to Kill

My favourite Moore movie is Octopussy.

Ok Neutron - just some of the many reasons you're wrong:

Man with the Golden Gun - Chris Lee criminally under-used, that midget assassin / butler being a rip-off of oddjob, and Octopussy appearing several films early.

Live and Let Die - Yaphet Koto, my how you've slipped since alien.  Jane Seymour being tricked into bed by Bond - Sean wouldnt have done that.

View to a Kill - Grace Jones and butterfly on fishing rod weapon.  Doh.  Chris Walken nearly saves it and I do have a soft spot for the theme tune, but Moore is getting on by now and looks a little wrinkly.

Even Tim Dalton was a better Bond than Moore - I think the Roger Moore films fall into that category of being remembered as far better than they really were.

He he,

Although you have to admit that LALD was pretty cool. Wild Afros, Jane Seymour, the aligator bridge, the speed boat chase down the bayoo, Sheriff J.W. Pepper and the excellent Baron Samedi

MWTGG had one of the top baddies Christoper Lee was excellent as was Nick Nack  and the flying car was brilliant.


AVTAK had the best baddie ever with Christopher Walken. He was the only one who actually appeared as insane as you imagine a man bent on world domination would do,

I see your avatar has had a bad influence on you with your afro fixation.

Points duly noted and accepted with some trepidation.  The gator bridge was original and Chris Walken is insane.  Not appears to be.  He is.  How can a man so talented appear so so many bad films.  For shame.

However Sadako...you're spot on with your OHMSS being a woefully underated film

Give me MTV and commercial Pierce Brosnan any day.  The guys a credible Bond whereas Roger Moore just isn't the kind of character you can imagine Ian Fleming writing about.  Too many "nudge nudge wink wink" moments to the camera.  He has three facial expressions, and all of them belong on TV.

OHMSS is ok, but a pale shadow compared to the Sean Connery era.  Not really credible as a bond franchisee, but ok as a stand alone.

Such intelligent people getting it so wrong - for shame   :roll:

I guess it depends if your rating system formula for films is like:

Explosions + Deaths x Tits = Quality (where more=better)

 8)
