*FINAL ROUND!!* Greatest Bond film of all time tournament!

Post by Captain Nash »

The first DCINB tournament of it's kind!
So we'll vote to find out which is the greatest Bond film. 22 films from Doctor No - Casino Royale (including Never Say Never Again).
Each day we'll pair up two films (picked at random) and cast one vote per member. (Please no spamming) Rounds will be open for approx 24 hours.
The top eleven films will be through to the latter stages of the tournament whilst the bottom 11 will match it out untill the least favourite Bond film has been determined. This will take a while to cover, so I hope you're all up for the long haul?
So without further ado, it's time for...

Round one

The Man With The Golden Gun

Vs

For Your Eyes Only
Image

So let the voting begin boys and girls. And we'll meet back here in 24 hours.

Difficult one for me this. I should really like FYEO, as it is a more serious thriller, and is an attempt to get back to Fleming material, whereas TMWTGG is outlandish, unrealistic and OTT gadget-laden.

But somehow I really like TMWTGG. I actually think parts of the story are actually quite grounded and realistic. The regular characters in this all seem to be suffering from serious PMT (Bond, M, Q, Moneypenny), but I think Lee is a great villain, and I quite like the fact that he is one step ahead of Bond throughout the film.

My mind says FYEO, but my heart says TMWTGG.....so I'm undecided! :?

That's lovely The Sweeney. :lol:
But all I really want from people is a vote either way.
Pick one, and only one. No vote changes or multiple votes. Anyone caught voting twice will have there vote deducted. :twisted:
