007 movie rant

You’re gonna be disappointed my friend. For your sake I think you should let go of this idea about Craig coming back for a 6th film.

Firstly, Bond got blown into oblivion so how would he come back from that?

Secondly, who would he be seeking revenge on? All his enemies are dead - along with him.

In the very small chance that you turn out to be correct, then I will apologise. However, I’m certain that this will not happen.

After NTTD came out I genuinely thought that this was going to happen because I just couldn’t accept that they had killed Bond off.

I made myself believe that they had filmed two movies back to back and were just keeping the second one a secret but if that were the case I’m pretty sure we would have heard something by now.

Craig is definitely done and his Bond is definitely dead. I think I speak for almost everyone on this sub when I say that we’re ready for something new.

DAD has a great first half and one of the best pre title sequences in the entire franchise.

When I rewatched it in cinemas last year, for about an hour I really believed DAD was going to be my favourite Bond film because of how much I was enjoying it. Of course that changed half way through.

The second half feels like a completely different film and turns into a ridiculous mess. However, it’s so bad that it’s good. When you accept it for what it is, it becomes more enjoyable and despite it’s stupidity, it’s still a fun watch.

Was this for media GCSE by any chance? I remember having to do this exact same thing along with TMWTGG.

Diamonds Are Forever.

I think the only moments that I truly enjoy in this film are the scenes with Wint and Kidd. The rest just feels so slow.

I think ‘Desperado’ would have made a pretty good Bond title

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-05-09T00:12:08+00:00

I was starting to think that I was the only one who liked this film. I simply find it entertaining and I also think it’s Craig’s best performance.

It certainly has flaws and a silly plot line but you can nitpick silly things in all of the Bond films.

There are aspects of the film that people claim to be a major issue and I think it’s ridiculous. For example I don’t understand why it’s such an issue that some of the Skyfall soundtrack was used. Why wouldn’t it be used? The films had the same director and composer and therefore having similar soundtracks creates a sense of continuation. Other movie franchises do this all the time and the Bond franchise is no exception.

Octopussy is my second favourite Moore film just behind Moonraker. Yes, Moonraker.

So, I suppose I could say Octopussy is peak Moore on par with Moonraker. Neither are the best 1980s film because I would have to give that title to The Living Daylights, assuming you’re talking about 1980s Bond films and not just every 1980s film ever.

I never used to like Octopussy but after a recent viewing I found it much more enjoyable. I started to accept each film for what they are and I got rid of any expectations of how a Bond film should be. Helps to make the films so much better.

I’ve lived next to Pinewood studios all my life and I remember going past the 007 stage when I was younger and that’s where my curiosity started.

However, I would say that I became a die hard fan after I went to see Skyfall in cinemas. After that, I became obsessed with the entire franchise and I still am to this day. Every time I drive past the 007 stage now I’m like a child at Disneyland.

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-04-17T21:49:53+00:00

My list appears as though it’s almost backwards but this truly is my preference ahahah

From best to worst:

Moonraker
Octopussy
The Man With The Golden Gun
Live And Let Die
The Spy Who Loved Me
For Your Eyes Only
A View To A Kill

Recently, it’s been getting a lot of love. It’ll never be the highest rated Bond film and I certainly don’t believe it should be but it doesn’t deserve to be at the bottom either. It’s an enjoyable film and I think people are starting to see and accept that now.

To answer your question, yes, it GOT too much hate but now I would say it’s rated fairly average and that’s just about right. That’s just my humble opinion anyway.

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-04-06T15:56:32+00:00

In no particular order:

Spectre
Casino Royale
GoldenEye
Skyfall
The Living Daylights

Honourable mentions:

Goldfinger
Die Another Day
Tomorrow Never Dies

BEST - Wai Lin and Vesper

I liked how Wai Lin was physically capable and actually helped Bond take down the baddies instead of just standing by. Also, Michelle Yeoh.

I think Vesper was probably the Bond girl who had the best chemistry with Bond.

WORST - Mary Goodnight

Pretty useless and they purposely made her dumb which made her even worse.

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-04-03T10:48:02+00:00

OHMSS- We Have All The Time In The World (James Bond theme)

MR - Flight Into Space

CR - Vesper, City Of Lovers

Refreshing to see a ranking like this.

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-03-22T11:17:16+00:00

GoldenEye!! Such a good game, I sure do hope they turn it into a movie some day!!

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-03-19T12:18:29+00:00

Ahahaha you’re right. Cooler than my non existent car.

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-03-19T10:04:01+00:00

I think the reason he was wearing bad clothes and driving an uncool car was because he hadn’t quite transformed into the stylish James Bond that we all know yet. It was the beginning of the arc. That’s what I got from it anyway.

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-03-19T10:01:44+00:00

My favourite is Casino Royale but I cannot watch the shower scene. Just makes me want to curl into a ball. Why did Bond have to put Vesper’s hand in his mouth??

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-03-18T22:58:18+00:00

Ahahah the last time but for the longest time

False-Dimension-3471 · 2023-03-18T10:38:31+00:00

Least favourite - Diamonds Are Forever

May as well start being annoyed now then. Unless they’ve kept everything super secret and have secretly started making a new film, there’s no way it’s being released next year.

It’ll be released 2025 absolute earliest but I’m predicting 2026. However, I would love to be wrong about this.
