12.03.12 | because you're not a man until you've made a James Bond ranking |
theacademy
12.03.12 | quantum of solace is one of the worst movies ever made
not going to read the rest of your list because there is no way that thirteen movies are worse than Quantum. |
menawati
12.03.12 | saw FRWL at one, insta pos, red wine with fish I should have known ! |
Calc
12.03.12 | The world is nAHAAHHAHAHATT enough!! |
Chortles
12.03.12 | dude pretty manly
skyfall was surprisingly good, enjoy it hard. much better than quantum of solace |
Adabelle
12.03.12 | Not huge on this ranking, 1 and 6 are my favourites but there's no way Casino Royale should be that high |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | Quantum gets way too much hate. i mean it's disappointing after the delectable Casino, but it's solid in its own right and shits all over most of the Moore flicks at least
good man Mena. "Yes, she had her kicks." dohoho |
ShadowRemains
12.03.12 | disappointing how shit brosnan's movies went after goldeneye, it ruled |
Tikicobra
12.03.12 | Where the heck is Skyfall? That movie kicked ass. |
menawati
12.03.12 | best bond fight is in the train with robert shaw, never beaten |
Chortles
12.03.12 | read the summary cobra |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | yea they had a good thing going with Dalton's down-to-earth Bond which continued with GE and Brosnan doing a fine job carrying the torch, but then the producers tried to pull the series back in a campy Moore-esque direction for some stupid reason
culminating in the abomination that nearly killed the franchise |
menawati
12.03.12 | moore films sucked |
ShadowRemains
12.03.12 | also...fucking eva green...why did she have to die... |
theacademy
12.03.12 | no it's not
quantum doesn't make any sense. it's definitely worse than die another day. |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | the Moore era was def a black abyss to have to sit through during my recent marathon lol. only one i'd go back to regularly would be Spy Who Loved Me |
theacademy
12.03.12 | tomorro never dies is, conservatively, 50x better than quantum of solace
im gonna go out on a limb and say you're between the ages of 17 and 21, which is cool, guy. I'm glad you're into bond. Bond is an American institution... one of our best and most impressive imo. |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | how does it not make sense? very little is worse than DAD except rusted nails through your member and the Star Wars prequels |
menawati
12.03.12 | yea spy loved me is passable mainly bcos the esprit is so cool and the one where they tried to make moore a bit darker and do away with gadgets think is was for your eyes only |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | also i'm 25 this Jan
TND is barely above average |
menawati
12.03.12 | nice to see ohmss at 10 tho, lazenby wasnt as bad as people make out |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | FEYO was decent yeah, even if it really drags in places. i didn't dislike Lazenby either, he did an alright job. i think a lot of the problem was the lines we was forced to read, like all the corny self-referential shite. HURR DIS NEVA HAPENED 2 THE OTHA GUY kabewm fourth wall obliterated |
wabbit
12.03.12 | Quantum of solace was amazing people just fucking suck at Bond movies.
And you only live twice and from russia with love are without a doubt the best ones. |
wabbit
12.03.12 | Seriously how Quantum of Solace opens with the car chase it's like "yeah we know we fucked up Casino Royale" here you go.
Probably the best opening to any bond movie. |
menawati
12.03.12 | start of it was cool yea but casino is light years better in plot, atmosphere, script....just about everything |
Ignimbrite
12.03.12 | I wouldn't call Quantum a "bad" movie: I was still thoroughly entertained. It just wasn't as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall. |
wabbit
12.03.12 | Casino has him falling in love with some cunt and it adds another 30 minutes to the movie and you're sitting in the theatre going. "oh so is James Bond a real character now? Why would they make him a real Character after four decades? Why is this movie still happening?" No car chase. Poker is cool but poke in movies fucking sucks. Way less cool villians.
In Quantum of Solace it's some dude named Green who wants to steal the world's water supply and he's holed up in a hotel that's run on hydrogen.
Maybe the other two Craig movies are better movies but there is no way in hell they are better bond movies. |
menawati
12.03.12 | yea rabbit but getting away from a stock formula is a good thing |
wabbit
12.03.12 | not when the entire premise of your series is stock formula. James Bond isn't a real character with feelings and shit. He's just a way for Brits to have a hard dick despite the fact they aren't powerful anymore.
Character development has to mean change and when you have a character as impossible as James Bond any change means you will quickly have to change what defines a James Bond is.
And I have no probably with new things but be creative and come up with something original instead of wrecking something I love.
Fuck you george lucas. |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | nah see that's what i like about these new flicks, Bond showing some humanity. i tended to enjoy the older films that showed glimmers of it too (OHMSS etc). 'stock formula' led us to DAD so i'm happy for a diversion. Bond being a sap in Casino and giving in to love only to get a rude awakening sets up how he became such a cold killing machine of manly badassery perfectly
it definitely runs a little long though. but i think the parkour chase at the start makes up for the lack of a car chase |
AngelofDeath
12.03.12 | Casino Royale is the best Bond film, hands down. And yeah, Quantum of Solace got way too much shit.
As for the rest of the list, Thunderball is a bit too low for my taste, and I really don't understand what's not to like about Moonraker. |
menawati
12.03.12 | "He's just a way for Brits to have a hard dick despite the fact they aren't powerful anymore. "
No disrespect mate but if that's what you believe the British psyche to be you need to talk to more Brits. Most of us view the current status of our country with a sense of resigned mirth and self-depreciation. |
Insurrection
12.03.12 | 9 was awful. worst bond villain by far, weak plot, and a huge step down from casino royale. havent seen skyfall but casino is my favorite. |
wabbit
12.03.12 | ^this is what we call vindication. |
Insurrection
12.03.12 | plus i always liked die another day. not really a bond movie but still really cool. |
menawati
12.03.12 | apart from the madonna song Die Another Day started off really strong, captured and tortured and then doing a swap of captives, felt like it was going to be a good one, then it turned awful real fast |
Inferis
12.03.12 | You will love Skyfall |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | Moonraker is bad because it's pretty much bland and by the numbers for the first 2/3rds then goes full retard with the campy shit for the final act
"die another day" "really cool"
well i mean a lot of it was set in an ice palace so i guess technically you're correct |
cagedescending
12.03.12 | YES exactly mena, such a good opening wasted |
Insurrection
12.03.12 | agreed the beginning was easily the best part but i found the rest was pretty entertaining. even though the plot was a joke, the action was well done and it had some of my favorite villain fight/death scenes from any bond movie. as a whole i enjoyed it much more than moonraker, a view to a kill, and octopussy. |
menawati
12.03.12 | "enjoyed it much more than moonraker, a view to a kill, and octopussy"
not difficult to like something more than those hehe |
Insurrection
12.03.12 | touche lol |
cagedescending
12.04.12 | swordfight near the start was exciting (even if nobody stepping in to intervene was dumb), the rest was eh |
DotEight
12.04.12 | Roger Moore will always be my favorite. |
Coast
12.04.12 | Casino Royale is probs my fave Bond film. Quantum was average, especially the piss weak villain, dumb and dumb lookalike henchman and pretty but boring bond girl. Tomorrow Never Dies was the worst, also with a shit villain and henchman. I like 16-21.
Skyfall has one of the best opening action Bond sequences but overall the film didn’t fully grab me.
Connery then Moore are the best Bonds. They’re the only 2 who could deliver one-liners and they also had that air of supreme arrogance, especially with the ladies. Craig is a great hard ass Bond but like Brosnan and Dalton, he can’t deliver one-liners nor seem comfortable as a womaniser. Connery was tough, witty and a ladies man. |
cagedescending
12.16.12 | Yeah see I like Moore himself I just don't dig (most of) the films he's in, they always seem to having lacking scripts or an overabundance of cheese. Maybe I'm just not in the right mindframe to enjoy them. I think I might end up growing to appreciate their campy shenanigans more eventually but for now... ehhhhh
Gonna agree with Connery as best Bond overall though, he really did have everything going for him. Shame he sleepwalked through the last 4 or so of his films though |
