Good list. Although I disagree with the notion that Halle Berry gives stellar support. She was dreadfully irritating.

Re: BFI: Seven underrated Bond films
Very much agreed. And of those I still think AVTAK is the most massively underrated of all. They're even a bit harsh on it in that article! I found the fire truck chase a bit pointless and illogical but it's much less silly than the Moonraker Bondola sequence and dare I say it still more fun than most of Craig's chases. The use of the truck's rear wheel steering was kind of cool. I know Roger didn't like the excessive violence but it fits Zorin's psychopathy and is tame compared to, say, LTK. I think Walken's Zorin is one of the strongest of all Moore's villains and I'd even say a bit more realistic than say Drax or Stromberg (Sorry carl ). We've covered the unfair criticism of Rog's age before.Veronica wrote:Good list. Although I disagree with the notion that Halle Berry gives stellar support. She was dreadfully irritating.
Oh, the lasers in DAD were just stupid, I thought. If you're going to rip off an old movie, at least do something very different or better with it. Entrapment had the best lasers of all!

Re: BFI: Seven underrated Bond films
Isn't the most famous Entrapment scene the one with the lasers and... Zeta Jones' famous body part?
DAD lasers were indeed very very stupid. But even those didn't irritate me more than Halle Berry.

Well yes, yes it is. Although I'd say it's a few famous body parts, really. And Catherine is very, very good at it.Veronica wrote:Isn't the most famous Entrapment scene the one with the lasers and... Zeta Jones' famous body part?

Hate to burst your bubble (see what I did there? ) but if memory serves I believe she used a body double for that scene.

Re: BFI: Seven underrated Bond films
Sorry old boy, but I remember it being quite the controversy at the time the film came out, anyway just because it isn't her's doesn't make it any less appealing!
