quote:Conclusions James Bond’s level of alcohol intake puts him at high risk of multiple alcohol related diseases and an early death. The level of functioning as displayed in the books is inconsistent with the physical, mental, and indeed sexual functioning expected from someone drinking this much alcohol. We advise an immediate referral for further assessment and treatment, a reduction in alcohol consumption to safe levels, and suspect that the famous catchphrase “shaken, not stirred” could be because of alcohol induced tremor affecting his hands. http://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f7255

Diamonds are Forever is the absolute worst, i'd rather watch Die Another Day. Diamonds is boring, Connery phones it in, no memorable lines, villains, stunts, or anything. The worst action scenes of the whole series and the worst, lazyest low budget special effects.

Hold on aren't we all forgetting that Quantum of Solace is the worst because of getting shafted by a writer's strike? It's sub Die Another Day. Living Daylights is pretty cool, though. And at least Live and Let Die has the sweet boat chase.

First half of Die Another Day is loving great, then they enter Invisible Car land and WTF. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is loving great, Bond can't keep his dick dry and fucks up the mission. Plus Diana Rigg as the only woman that could match Bond.

The invisible car is great. Not sure why people had a problem with it. It was the lackluster battle between the two cars that was a travesty. That scene had all the flair and drama of a trade show demonstration. How do you make Bond Car vs. Bond Car that boring? Driving through the ice hotel was way better.

It's when the invisible car comes in that the movie sucks. If the car was in a actually good movie, it might be okay.

I don't remember enough about the movie to remember why it sucked. Terrible CGI parasurfing, lame car fight, and I feel like the North Korean --> British dude makeover was a bit of a stretch but everything else is hazy.

The ones with Joe Don Baker are all p. good. Also, the one with Everett McGill. Really, the only one I outright hate is Diamonds Are Forever. It's dogshit, and not in a fun way, like Die Another Day is.

Diamonds are Forever had a Shirley Bassey theme song, and it's pretty much a rule that no Bond film with a Shirley Bassey song can be The Worst.

Die Another Day is everything horrible about Star Trek: Into Darkness turned up to 11. Plus the villain is basically just an entitled rear end in a top hat and not memorable in any way. Then you get dumb para-surfing away from a space laser which sounds like something an 8 year old thought would be the coolest poo poo ever. The second especially the third act of it is some of the worst poo poo I've seen. I will say it doesn't have the dumbest thing ever in a Bond movie. That belongs to using a loving slide whistle during a car jump.

Die Another Day pretty much couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a gritty modern military take on Bond, an camp tribute to the 60's, or video game 90's X-Treme Bond. So it was some terrible mismatch of all three. But the phrase "X-treme 90's Bond" is pretty much all anyone needs to know about that movie.

Die Another Day and Spectre are both garbage and Spectre even did it's damnedest to retroactively ruin the good Daniel Craig movies too which was unforgivable imo.

Roger Moore is the worst James Bond but that's because so many of his movies just kinda suck compared to other Bond movies so it's not really his fault.

It had Kidd and Wynn, my favorite gay-coded baddies, and a constant series of fuckups by EVERYBODY. Off the top of my head: * Bond dodges a mirror and crashes, getting captured. * Bond does an elaborate breakin to the baddies' HQ then drops right in as expected ending up at gunpoint. * Bond then shoots the WRONG Blowfield. * Kidd and Wynn throw him in a frigging incinerator but don't stick around to make sure it finishes. * SAME THING with an oil pipeline. * The high-tech "cassette" tape is swapped. * The very normal Howard Hughes analog shows up with no reason for being a hermit.

Maybe it's because I grew up in and have subsequently grown to hate the American Southwest, but something about seeing Bond tooling around Nevada is painfully unappealing to me. Like, ooh, Bond's exotic caper where my grandma goes on vacation, yeah, that's fun. Come to think of it, it's actually probably the only movie I've ever seen that manages to make Las Vegas seem boring.

It's not that it's necessarily completely bad but it's a dramatic change of tone from the other Daniel Craig movies. It's much more like a silly Roger Moore movie, where most of the plot is advanced through crazy coincidences and Bond is back to having superpowers and everything works out for him. At one point he shoots down a helicopter with a pistol with like two bullets. I dunno I only saw Spectre once but I was rolling my eyes the entire way through because the plot was nonsense, none of the characters' actions and choices made any sense, and things just continually worked out for Bond anyway like magic. Like "Bond has two minutes to search this ten storey abandoned building for a prisoner before the building explodes, and he finds the prisoner after twenty seconds" kind of nonsense. And to top it all off they retconned the previous three Craig movies to make Christoph Waltz's character responsible for everything in them while also being James Bond's brother from childhood for some reason. It was really stupid. I really like liking movies and I hated Spectre. The absolute best part of the movie is literally the first shot, as there's some really incredible cinematography during a long continuous shot of Bond just walking through a Day of the Dead parade and onto a rooftop. That was amazing and I thought I was in for a real treat if that was going to set the tone for the movie and then the whole thing was downhill from there and I ended up really disappointed. My wife too, she loves DCraig Bond movies and she hated Spectre.

First off, it's real boring. None of the action scenes have any pop. Despite being mostly real. The Blofeld twist is super lame and the fact he was responsible for everything that happened to Bond in all the Craig films is insanely stupid and really cheapens everything he's been through. It's all just been some lame half-baked revenge plot. I never watch a Bond film for the story, but that to me is some serious dumb poo poo. Like why couldn't Blofeld be pissed they killed Quantum or something.

Casino Royale would be the best movie if the third act didn't last for nine hours. Actually, the best movie would be if they turned the book Moonraker into a movie, because that book is fantastic.Turbinosamente posted:Wait why was Spectre poo poo? I never got around to seeing it because I am the only person on Earth who doesn't really like Daniel Craig all that much and didn't like Casino Royale '07. (The book was waaaaay better). You'd probably like it. It's more lighthearted than the other Craig movies. There's some goofy sight gags, like during the car chase, the fight on the train is outstanding, and M is cool. Although on the other hand there's a few times in the film that I just had to stop and ask, "So why are they here?", plus they had to ruin everything by trying to add continuity between films which is something they never had.

I liked A View to a Kill because Christopher Walken almost floods silicon valley which should happen in real life. Goldfinger is my favorite but it has one big flaw. Why is Goldfinger (the guy) first presented as someone who is obsessed with gold in a fetishistic personal sort of way but then turns out to want to blow up the gold in fort knox so the value of his gold increases? It makes it seem like his goal is just money rather than gold which seems like inconsistent characterization. Shibawanko fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Dec 6, 2016 |

The novel has Goldfinger literally trying to steal all the gold from Fort Knox. Someone pointed out that gold is actually really goddamn heavy and the robbery wasn't physically possible so it got changed to just dirty bombing Fort Knox.
