James Bond Films

[ER]

I've never been able to sit all the way through a Bond flick, and even with an extreme suspension of disbelief, I can't see how anyone takes these things seriously. The Austin Powers series hit this genre on the head with some dead-on parody, and yet Bond just keeps chugging along even in the cynical twenty-first century. It's beyond explanation to me. Shrug.

Not my cup of tea, either. One of my friends dragged me (kicking and screaming) to see Casino Royale when it came out and I spent pretty much the whole time making nasty jokes about the flick to another friend of mine who was in the same boat as me. I will confess, though, that I dig The Man With The Golden Gun. Figures. It's considered by many Bond fans to be one of the worst, if not the worst, in the series, so it only makes sense that it'd be the only one I actually liked. It's so off-the-wall though! It really is, like, charismatically bad. They give Christopher Lee a third nipple for pete's sake! That's fan-freaking-tastic!

The only Bond films I like are The Living Daylights (1987) and Licence To Kill (1989) both with Timothy Dalton as James Bond. I thought both films were more serious and tougher than their predecessors, with 007 going up against the Soviets and a drug baron, rather than a man with three nipples or a nerd who sells newspapers. Timothy Dalton is also the best Bond for me, more of a playboy spy than Connery, younger and more believable than Moore and more hard and realistic than Brosnan.

I like most of the Roger Moore ones, probably because my folks took me to see them when I was a little kid so I've got that whole childhood memory thing going on.  Never could get into the Sean Connery ones though, except for From Russia With Love.  It's not really that good, but it's a little better than the rest.  Goldfinger is usually considered such a great Bond movie, I thought is was probably the worst of the bunch.  I loved Moonraker, which is usually spat upon by Bond fans.  That one with Emma Peele from the Avengers was another favorite.  I lost complete interest in the Brosnan era though.  Goldeneye was pretty good, but after that it just became a CGI fest and Bond became a superhero;  Too childish even for me.

I will confess, though, that I dig The Man With The Golden Gun.

this is also my favourite. roger moore is very camp. herve villechaise is a laugh in that one as well.

the 'hall of mirrors' type shoot-out scene in scaramanga's lair is mildly scary, too

Bond films are like comfort food to yours truly.  I'd always look forward to Bond Week when I was a kid and my father and I would watch every film together.  I dig the Moore films the most although its hard for me to buy him as a trained killer.  The new guy on the block I think will evolve nicely.
