Goldeneye
Sucks. Rad vidya tho.
his best bond film by a decent margin. after TND its a death spiral.
also hot take but his films have way too much action. i just mentally check out at the end in TND where its 5 minutes of constant assault rifle firing, like im in a video game level. goldeneye also has the best setpieces by far, the tank chase, the armored train. it also had slower moments without insanely shitty cringy dialog like in his later films, it has sean bean in his prime as well. its certified kino.
Literally every Brosnan scene is good when it's not action goyslop.
they definitely only did that for TND though. the stealth boat assault is pretty egregious due to bond going akimbo with his ppk and a submachine gun without aiming for about ten minutes, and Wai lin making the same "WAH HEEEYUH" ADR sound as she high kicked dudes in hallways
TWINE's action scenes where a little bit more subdued
Imagine being born in the mid 90s. Frick off Zoomer.
>bond
only the first two are any good
you need to watch in release order. there are inside jokes that build on past movies
Spectre is the best Bond film since Connery
You Only Live Twice
Donald Pleasance is fantastic.
Excellent taste. It's one of my top 5 Bond films. Very underrated.
Goldfinger
Casino Royale (2006)
Live and Let Die
Tomorrow Never Dies
License to Kill
Live and Let Die is actually pretty bad, but it's just so hokey and stupid that it works well enough.
Precisely
Like most Moore films then, cheesy but entertaining as frick
Tomorrow Never Dies always has had the best intro for a Bond film. Truly an epic opening!
And the theme song? Sheeeit
%3D%3D
Masterpiece
Yup
Why was he shooting from his rocket pods?
I genuinely hate it when bond mistreats women, reawtching the old ones currently and the scene where connery just b***h slaps women every film really irks me and I wish I was trolling. And in the context on what the man's worldview was just makes it worse.
Uhhh please rewatch those scenes and realize that it never was toxic masculinity but rather Bond was always interrogating the villains woman. Enhanced interrogation techniques are required.
nah i fricking hate the scene where he hits tatiana romanova, it made me genuinely angry. bond thought she was working for spectre which is why he hits her, but she didn't know she was working for spectre, she thought she was working for the russian intelligence office. she was also basically forced to take the job under threat of death. frick bond in that film.
Yeah but she was clearly putting on a show knowingly that it would end badly for Bond. She only changed allegiance near the end in the train ride. She was still serving Colonel Klebb.
And how was Bond supposed to know any of that, genius?
the whole premise for the 2 meeting was that "this super hot chick wants to frick you click the link to find out why" so bond should have been expecting the betrayal. the whole fricking premise of the film is that the british know it's a trap you "genius".
He's been working alongside her for a while now, and now his friend is dead. Why are you getting high and mighty about him turning violent in that situation?
his friend is dead because of spectre, not because of romanova. she was there only to feed bond "false information" and the lekter machine. the spectre would have killed her as well.
Again, how the frick is Bond supposed to know that when Spectre never reveals itself until the end.
Again, how was he supposed to know that? He feels like he's being played by this woman and decides to get to the bottom of the situation he's in.
> He feels like he's being played by this woman and decides to get to the bottom of the situation
grant drugs her, then kills kerim. this alone should make him put 2 + 2 together and realize someone's playing both sides.
Any sane person would think she was still involved and was going to betray them if she hadn't already. Getting away with a slapping is merciful to what Bond could've done.
so bond has the foresight to assume she would drug herself to put up an act, but not that someone is playing both sides? does bond think she's also the real culprit behind the bulgarians bombing kerim's hideout during a truce? what reason does she have for wanting to kill kerim anyway. and all the while bond should know that the girl is being used as bait, since bond knows the russians know the british want a lekter machine
You got your time frames mixed up bud, I don't know what to tell you other than Bond never maliciously slapped her because Bond just doesn't do it for no reason.
bond doesn't think it's weird that someone drugged her, or are you saying bond thinks she drugged herself? lmfao
I'm saying that he doesn't even know she was drugged.
>he doesn't even know she was drugged.
he does, it's how he discovers grant. why are you making shit up?
i just rewatched the scene and realized i'm wrong, grant drugging her comes afterwards, my apologies
You just made me rewatch it to make sure I wasn't crazy you sumbitch
I feel moronic now, so it's all fair.
So slapping women is cool now right?
Kerim Bey gets killed and Bond is supposed to be chill? You moron.
The most realistic depiction of Rupert Murdoch
The Living Daylights is my favourite. Try that
>Rupert Murdoch
It was actually a parody of Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine, a media baron.
You're right actually
A View to a Kill is worth watching for the most hilarious and forced name drop in the history of cinema.
>what a view
>to a shitty movie
Goldeneye is the definitive pierce brosnan bond kino
All, except Diamonds are Forever, Die Another Day and No Time to Die, the only bad Bond films
You can watch Diamonds are Forever and Die Another Day gor the cringe factor though, but No Time to Die is just dull
Diamonds are Forever has gay villains so its automatically better.
The Bond series has the best lgbtq representation
Stop at QoS. The rest of Craig's movies are literally gay and cartoonishly overdramatic
Octopussy is trash tbh
Wrong. So wrong that I must now call you a gay. I'm sorry it came to this.
Stop
No, its escapist fun and Bond going Indiana Jones
>Indiana Jones
How so? The Bond girl having a backstory with Bond that is vaguely Marion? Or going to India??
The opening with the agent dressed as the clown is kino. The middle of the story really drags. The plot takes a back seat when it could have been more interesting but so much focus is on the Bond girl. And then the false endings, the bad guy plot is stopped but then you have Bond on a hot air balloon randomly arriving in the middle of the battle. It doesn't flow well. Theme song is so-so.
The artifact hunt and the locations
There are no bad Bond films, homosexual. I enjoy them all. Some weaker entries? Sure, but not bad. I hate c**ts who can't enjoy anything anymore. Simple as.
Except No Time to Die literally is for homosexuals and Bond going woke, or as the homosexual male feminist Craig put it, "Bond updated for the me too era"
>another James Bong thread
You fricking tourists are pathetic
Bond is the one thing that unites the UK with the US. You will never take that away from us Eastoid.
quads of truth
>New here
>Not seen a single Bond thread since I've come...
Shit tier bait anon
Why are you watching out of order?
Back to Dr. No with you
I was under the assumption that each new actor was a new connected Era, I'm sorry, to Dr. No I go...
to OP, watch the recent ones first (craig+brosnan), it doesn't matter which tenure you watch first, personally I watched craig's then brosnans' after which I went back to the beginning. I think it's more fun as a modern audience member to see the evolution happen "instantly", I went from brosnan's to connery's bonds and they are tonally worlds apart. brosnan is all hollywood blockbuster action and connery's is slow burning spy thriller stuff with some great interplay between bond + the villain, and lots of character moments of just seeing bond being bond.
i'm also by no means a purist, i enjoy craig+brosnan bonds but i have to say connery's bonds are more entertaining. so in a way you watching craig+brosnan first essentially gets the films "out of the way" (beside goldeneye which is fantastic) and even the craig bonds are imo. necessary viewing so you can appreciate the films that came before in full.
tldr don't jump to dr. no before watching all the modern bonds. you'll enjoy more that way imo.
Alright, that sounds enjoyable enough. Which of Craig's is your favorite, and I assume Goldeneye is your pick from Brosnans.
i like all but the last one of craig's films. casino royale is great despite dragging on a bit too much, QoS is one of those "not great not terrible" bonds and i dont get the whining about the editing, skyfall feels like a knockoff nolan film and spectre is objectively pretty shit but i cant help thinking it's like a shitty hodgepodge of great scenes that are worse than the sum of its parts because of a few bad ingredients
in short i guess its CR > Skyfall > QoS > Spectre > NTTD
imo if you've never seen the craig bonds you should just watch them without too much outside opinions, and the less you know about bond the more you'll enjoy them i feel like, so i'd watch them before even brosnan
for brosnan it's Goldeneye > TND > world is not enough > die another day
Interesting, if your still around which of the Connery, Moore, and is there another? Which of those are your picks?
Rewatching Goldeneye it is funny how the first part of the movie questions the whole 90s PC culture. The female evaluator tries to deny Bond's flirtations but then gives in. Moneypenny playfully makes an assertion that his behaviour could be called sexual harassment. Tanner insults having a female boss and M hears him. M calls Bond a dinosaur and insults him in the early meeting. And then you have a female villain who orgasms when she kills.
Hard disagree. I watched them from the start in order. It is fun watching styles change and developed. I don't like this hand holding "watch modern stuff first". I think the Sean Connery films have more than enough to hook people.
License to Kill the first real stripped back revenge Bond, more brutal (guy in the pressure chamber exploding) and yet you also have probably the most Q screentime in a film as he comes to help out to add levity. Weird on a rewatch. Shame that legal issues stopped more Dalton Bond. Living Daylights is my favourite.
Pam Bouvier is sneaky hot.
each bond era is a period piece for that generation. you should pick which bond was marketed to you, and then work back from there.
the absolute, unironic classics are:
>from Russia with love
>goldfinger
>you only live twice
>spy who loved me
>goldeneye
>skyfall
and then there are the ones that are good, but not deserving of absolute reverence.
and then there's the big dumb shit ones that are so stupid they are worth watching:
>never say never again
>moonraker
>license to kill (get at me, it's miami vice pandering)
>die another day
>diamonds are forever
>view to a kill
>view to a kill
Don't ever talk about James Bond again
did you like the homosexual henchmen or the lost miami vice episode?
Both rock
based OOOWWWOOO-poster
>right in the diamonds!
This guy responded in my place. And it turns out, he is not a homosexual but based.
I say this with pride and certainty: THIS
Licence to Kill is Leathal Weapon and Die Hard pandering and it actually works
It has the worst dressed Bond of the series though
I actually based my vacation fit on Licence to Kill Bond - partially-unbuttoned shirt with sleeves rolled up and light-colored chinos. Pretty good look IMO.
>and then there are the ones that are good, but not deserving of absolute reverence.
What's in this category anon?
I'd say the rest of the Connery flicks, but I'll take the plebpill and say I get bored during thunderball, and Dr. No isn't too daring once you have the rest of the series to compare it to.
you can cut the moore era in half and see pure charming and pure shit, but that can differ based on who's telling you (man with the golden gun, live and let die being bangers but the others not mentioned being alright or middling)
living daylights is great; I loved the promise of Dalton, but it wasn't a crazy amazing bond movie.
TWINE is probably my favorite mid Brosnan because it starts to care about character arcs and story and espionage again
i.e., good entries, but not the classics. ask yourself if you should watch a bond film after From Russia With Love and you'll probably have my answer
>living daylights is great; I loved the promise of Dalton, but it wasn't a crazy amazing bond movie.
Why not?
>Theme song is great.
>Opening in Gibraltar is action packed real life stunts.
>Great Bond introduction.
>The start of the main plot adapted Portrait of a Lady short story really well.
>The East German killer with the music motiff was fun.
>One of my favourite car chases.
>The skiing with the cello case was very fun too.
>Great Bond girl.
Like maybe the overall main villains end up being weaker, especially the secondary villain who ends up being the final boss.
>Portrait of a Lady
U wot. I meant Living Daylights short story but for some reason I suddenly thought it was Property of a Lady it adapted.
I know oldheads who love daylights, and I agree it's a very good bond flick, but it was just before my time. I just don't remember too much standing out unless someone reminds
that a-ha track is fire, agreed
>skyfall
lol, don't listen to this anon, OP. SF is shit
The Spy Who Loved Me because it has Lawrence of Arabia music.
What's your results?
https://sorta.app/
quantum of solace, because you see pussy
Reminder that "Bond Girl" was retired after Die Another Day and Barbara Broccoli fully took over. Bond became the woman in CR (the beach scene), and the series ended with two women driving away with his car and theme song while the movie did a reverse gunbarrel.
Casino Royale is great though and Quantum of Solace and Skyfall are decent
Spectre is ruined by Brofeld with daddy isdues (what is this, Austin Powers?)
No Time to Die is feminist deconstruction garbage
I'm pretty mad at myself for not watching License to Kill sooner. It's my favorite now next to OHMSS
I found it funny how in License to Kill it has the antagonists girlfriend hook up with the corrupt El presidente in the end as if she deserves anything good for being a shallow prostitute.
oi bruvs lets 'ave another James Bong fred on the yank-created Cinemaphile, ya?
direct another day is good except it's incredibly cringe at the same time
