Glad we caught your attention here. You will find it pleasant here amongst us. Hopefully this farce with Cr-egg will end sooner rather than later. I would love to send MP and FBF over to Eon's headquarters to straighten out Broccoli's thought processes. :lol:

Four decades of films has established the premise that Bond should be tall(Cregg is not), suave(Cregg is not) and handsome(which of course Cregg is not), and not have hair spiked in the back with a putrid facial profile, as Cregg does have.
Is it particularly mean of me to really have enjoyed this post? Because I'm laughing out loud, I'm telling you.

So, my grades:

Dr No: 5/5 for what it established and that magnificent Ursula Andress scene with that bikini that has become a MAJOR icon in the whole world, this earned the 5/5.

From Russia with love: 5/5 Classic Bond. And Italian Bond girl, major points for that! :mrgreen:

Goldfinger 5/5 by far my favourite classic Bond. It has everything... cool gadgets, super villain, chilling yet incredibly inventive and stylish death (well ahem, sorry not many die covered in gold LOL)

thunderball 3/5 hm. Somehow this one didn't amuse me like Goldfinger did.

You Only Live Twice 4/5

on her majestys secret service 2/5 Poor Lazenby. He just wasn't cut to be Bond, especially not after Sean Connery. And the type of movie they put him in didn't help.

Diamonds are forever 2/5 I don't particularly appreciate Sean Connery in a wig

Live and let die 5/5 Roger Moore had a great debut as Bond IMO. And... Paul McCartney. 'nuff said.

The Man with the Golden Gun 4/5 solid classic Bond.. with great locations.

The Spy Who Loved Me 3/5 err.. way too much silliness.

Moonranker 2/5 seriously? This was as bad as Connery in a wig

For Your Eyes Only 4/5 thankfully, back to some actual and good Bond.

Octopussy 3/5 hm definitely a disappointment after FYEO

A View to a Kill: 2/5 Sir Roger. Time to go. Duran Duran is what I remember this for. And yes I just aged myself :lol:

The Living Daylights 3/5: DUDE... I really like you as the new Bond, but there's a major problem. I do NOT like Miriam D'Abo AT ALL. Like AT ALL. I wasn't rooting for the Bond girl ONE BIT in this one. Which made the whole thing not nearly as interesting as it could have been for me. And that is unacceptable FOR A BOND GIRL LIKE ME. Major plus, the soundtrack, screaming at them playing it! (so what! I was a young teen with a crush on A-ha when this was released!) :lol:

License to Kill 4/5: NOW we're cooking. The new Bond I really like PLUS my favourite Bond girl, Pam Bouvier. Take note, Barbara Broccoli. THAT is a Bond girl. Not Eva Green, not those two insignificant washed-out girls you had in QoS. Anyway back to LTK: Great villain and all, and I loved the plot, but I won't lie.. this was the first Bond movie I went to see alone at the movies (without parents I mean :lol:) and the amount of violence DID disturb me back then. I still can't watch that "he kills him in that huge grinder" scene. Not to mention the whole shark thing. There's too much blood in this one for my taste. It's really the only real complaint I have about the movie, which is why I give it 4 and not 5 out of 5.

Goldeneye 5/5: oh.my.GOD. Pierce Brosnan is Bond. Am I in heaven here? FINALLY!! The gorgeous, stylish, sexy, witty yet strong and kickass guy I always loved called James Bond is here. They could have picked a FAR more fashionable Bond girl for him though!

Tomorrow Never Dies 5/5: I love you James Bond. The end. I'm sorry, I loved ALL of Pierce's movies up until the mockery they did with the second part of DAD.

The World Is Not Enough: 5/5 see above.

Die Another Day 2/5: really? After a brilliant first part, that second one was just.. UGH. The only thing that made me go through this was Pierce. And Halle Berry's Eres bikini.

Casino Royale 0.5/5: I give it a .5 because Caterina Murino was gorgeous as Bond girl (too bad she lasted about 2 minutes), and she's Italian. That's it. My father, who introduced me to Bond together with my mom when I was about 2 (they were watching it, I was playing in front of the TV, and it's not like back then people had two TVs! LOL) FELL ASLEEP while watching Casino Royale (on satellite TV; certainly not at the movies). I'm not kidding. His comment "this is no James Bond movie. THAT DUDE is James Bond? Are they kidding me? He looks and acts NOTHING like James Bond. And, this was the most boring Bond I've seen. I FELL ASLEEP". My mother, and I swear I didn't suggest ANY of this to her at all, genuinely thought she was looking at a photo of Vladimir Putin on the newspaper when she first saw a Craig pic. Needless to say, she likes Craig as much as I do. And she, too, thought CR was simply not a Bond movie.

QoS: 0/5. This doesn't even get the .5 because everything about it SUCKS. There is no James Bond, the no-Bond girls suck, the plot is absurd and completely messed-up AND on top of it, they offended any half-educated Italian with that initial sequence, that was filmed basically in my backyard. A note to Bond producers: you put scorn on yourselves with this one. And any half-educated Italian who watched laughed at you and took offense. Lake Garda, where I live is in freaking NORTHERN Italy, about 100 km from Milan in Lombardy. If Bond enters a tunnel in a car chase on Lake Garda, the end of the tunnel won't be IN FREAKING SIENA, 400 kilometers south of here and IN TUSCANY! And with the incredibly beautiful scenery we have here, you made ZERO effort to include that in the movie. A one-sec helicopter shot was it. Also, make sure you pick Italian stunts if you want to film a car chase here. Because it's one of the most dangerous, albeit panoramic, places to film and ONLY AN ITALIAN can drive appropriately there. That poor Greek fella who fell into the water with the car certainly didn't deserve anything like that to happen to him.

Welcome Freddy. Great user name - Craig has turned Bond into something out of a slasher movie.

My top 4...
From Russia With Love-a classic spy movie.An easy winner for me.IMO this is the best Bond movie.
GoldenEye-come one,this one saved the franchise.I love everything about it.A great dialogue,villain,henchwoman,great theme song,Judi Dench was great...and Pierce Brosnan.Easily belongs in top 5 Bond movies.People thought there would be no James Bond anymore.Well,GoldenEye proofed quite the opposite.It's brilliant.
Thunderball-Yes,I actually prefer this one to Goldfinger.I don't why exactly.Maybe because it an espionage under the water.Maybe because I think that the idea of Big Ben striking seven times at six o'clock is brilliant.Claudine Auger and Luciana Paluzzi both belong in top5 Bond girls of all time.Also this movie,features,aside GoldenEye,the best theme song.Oh,and the opening scene is great.And don't get me started on the opening titles sequence...incredible,my favorite.
The World is Not Enough-yes,I love it.Just love it.If there wasn't for horrible Denise Richards and apsurd Christmas Jones I might even call it a classic.This movie features the best acting we have ever seen in a Bond movie.Unfortunately it also feature one of the worst...Sophie Marceau is incredible as Elektra.At first,she ties her remarkable beauty and french charm with a little bit of recklessness and fierce determination but when she and Bond get trapped she gets all hysterical and then think that it's because of the trauma she went through.Even before we find out she's behind it all she's already the most interesting character....and Bond.Brosnan is just incredible.He has been great in all four movies he made but in this he's really brilliant.In Bilbao he is effortlessly cool,sophisticated,dashing and deadly.Incredible.Every scene between him and Marceau is incredible.The moment when he kills and Elektra and the one after are one of the best moments,hands down.The moment when he touches her face after he kills her might just be my all time favorite moment.Even if the ending of the movie just pretends that never happened.ONE BIG MISTAKE.I like to pretend there was no Richards and Christmas in this movie.If only they didn't do it.It would be much better.Richards wasn't the first actress that was hired for her looks(personally I don't find her to be pretty) there was Tanya Roberts as geologist and Britt Ekland wasn't the most convincing MI6 agent.The thing those movie should not be taken seriously.Those wore truly incredibly campy Bond movies.More of a comedies than spy movies.TWINE on the other hand is a character driven story with complexity and has SUBTEXT.So the incredibly unbelieveable Richards as nuclear scientist is truly an awful mistake.The blame should not be put all on Richards.The character wouldn't have been much better even if it was played by the actress of a "Meryl Streep-like" talent.Especially when we first got the impression Bond truly fell for Elektra.All in all...never undestood why some people say this is a bad movie.I think it's easily second best for Brosnan.

Honorable mentions.
Goldfinger-for obvious reasons.
Dr.No-the casino scene,Ursula Andres,some great dialogue,"And you've had your six"...
For Your Eyes Only-a low-key spy movie with the classical Roger Moore moments.Moore's best movie in my opinion.
The Spy Who Loved Me-although the plot is like "Moonraker" but just under the water,we have incredible car,Moore at his best as Bond,throwing fish out of the car,and one of the rare moments,I think,where I really bought Moore as a spy.And who could forget Jaws?It's entertaining.
The Living Daylights-a decent spy movie with some nice touches like "Death to spies" thing.It's good but somehow forgettable.Don't really remember much from that movie.
Tommorow Never Dies-a movie that had a true potential to be a truly great one.Sadly,the whole production was in a mess and script was daily rewritten.The first half is strong but the second is just pure action which is the problem.Still,it has some memorable moments.Dr.Kaufman scene,the hotel room scene between Paris and Bond,Danish lesson :lol: ,loved the "Tommorow's new today" line.The plot is rather good but overall is somehow second priority to action.A shame.Still,I think this is the first Bond movie that I every watched as a whole.Of course,it feature Pierce Brosnan so that's another plus in my opinion.
