Is this the best bond film made?
Is this the best bond film made?
it wasn't as good as Skyfall with Daniel Craig
either the best or second best
dalton was the most kino bond
youtube.com
not even the best Dalton Bond
It's okay but it's not Quantum of Solace
Goldeneye
it just is.
That score tho.
I always thought i was only one liking this one.
Weird to see it here.
best Bond movie is From Russia, with Love
personal favorite is Licence to Kill
yes
one of the best stories, music (especially a-ha's theme peppered into the score) and really fucking great action setpieces. It also has a more muted tone compared to the comedic shit what came before it, but it didn't needlessly strip the formula down like CR did.
TLD is the Bond movie that balances the comedic aspects, the action and the actual espionage stuff the best. Every other movie in the franchise will neglect one over the others.
It feels very Spielberg in a lot of ways too with the elaborate, ridiculous action sequences that somehow still work well.
FRWL has my favorite Bond girl.
these 100%
its the one Bond movie that really had the right balance of everything
>bond is more serious but still has dry humor and wit
>a cool car chase but doesnt go full die another day
>more toned down than moore but still had some neat gadgets
as someone already mentioned, the music is litty too
youtube.com
too bad it has lame villains and a forgettable Bond girl
License To Kill was better.
>a forgettable Bond girl
ill agree the villians were weak (except fort he dolph lundgren look a like henchman), but the girl was probably one of the only 2 or 3 girls in the whole franchise they actually made bond look like he cared about. that puts her at very least ahead of like 2/3rds of all the bond girls
Nah it didn't even feel like a Bond movie till he got to South America.
dalton was by far the worst bond
One of the best henchmen though. And I kinda liked that Koskov was just a cowardly weasel that manipulated others instead of being intimidating in any way.
>the girl was probably one of the only 2 or 3 girls in the whole franchise they actually made bond look like he cared about
that's mostly the strength of Dalton's performance, the character herself is boring and not sexy at all. She's just some naive music nerd
Give me a glamorous bombshell that Bond just wants to fuck over that any day, and on that note give me more than one. That's another thing I don't like about TND, the lack of girls.
>TND
I mean TLD
Yes.
agreed
like TLD it balances humor, action and spy shit perfectly, but unlike that movie it has a fantastic villain and two great Bond girls. I also love how Q gets directly involved in the story
You can also tell that Dalton is far more comfortable in the role
I wish we had gotten more Dalton Bond movies. He was offered the part before Lazenby at a young age, before Live and Let Die, and even before A View to a Kill. Would have been nuts to have had him in the Moore years, I feel like those movies would have been very different beasts.
>he didn't like Joe Don Baker eating a lobster the size of his fat head
I'm a huge Moore fan and love all of his movies, but I definitely agree we should have gotten some more of Dalton.
It's a damn shame pic related never got made, apparently Liz Hurley was at the top of the list of potential Bond girls
We could have honestly had a timeline with that one coming out in 1991, a fourth in 1993, and Brosnan could have taken over then. It'd have been great.
I don't know about best, but it's the best Cold War spy/espionage film of the series outside of From Russia with Love.
Maybe.
Skyfall is shit. Casino Royale is the only good bond with Daniel Craig.
>Skyfall is shit
>makes out with Lupe and immediately romances Bouvier
kino
Nope, Skyfall is best and CR is shit.
Xenia's thighs made the movie desu.
...
>teleports behind you
IN THE DIPLOMATIC BAG
I never understood why Bond started driving a Mustang all of the sudden.
That's an Aston Martin m8. Its shape is quite Mustang though yeah.
needs a 5 second lock on to shoot 2 missiles at a truck 20 feet ahead of you, lol
That's movie time for you. Need to build that tension.
Dalton had the best Moneypenny and the best waifus
Its the best spy thriller in the Bond Series but not the best Bond film, if you catch my drift. I'd place Goldfinger, Goldeneye and the Spy Who Loved Me before it.
I don't remember The Living daylights. How come?
Kitana was a Bond girl.
(OP)
Yes.
If they'd backed Dalton and his harder-edged approach to Bond then we'd have gotten it 20 years before Craig did in CR. Admittedly it probably wouldn't have worked as well back then though. Things like this, changing a long established series's tone and direction, really do need the right time to happen and perhaps the late 80s wasn't it - certainly would not have gotten Bond through the nonsense 90s. CR came along when people were getting bored with 90s bullshit and finally ready for a change.
>this film is dedicated to the brave fighters of the Taliban
No
>"toned down"
>"more serious"
My favourite 007 movies are Licence to Kill (1989) and GoldenEye (1995)
It's a shame that the legal disputes prevented another film being made in this time period of best Bond
A third with Dalton would have been nice
Compared to what came before it with some of the Moore films Dalton's two films were very dark.
