Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Outside of this forum, ranking TND as high as most of us seem to is pretty controversial. Conventional wisdom outside of JWFan is that Goldeneye is the only good Brosnan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Doesn't look I did a ranking back then. I am however much more confident in my opinions on the forum nowadays (I was pretty green back in September '16) On 9/5/2016 at 6:32 PM, Disco Stu said: The Goldeneye score is definitely guilty pleasure of mine. I like listening to it, but probably because it was wallpaper for much of my childhood. I can just say that I like the Goldeneye score now. No need for a guilty pleasure qualifier.

Brosnan was excellent as Bond. He retained some of Moore's humour but cut it with a bit of a hard edge. Not the Bond of the books, of course, but a great cinematic Bond. 7 hours ago, Alexcremers said: Same goes for Dalton, who is actually a very good and underrated drama actor, but unfortunately not Bond material. Same goes for Dalton...he was also a great Bond, and probably the closest in characterisation to what Fleming wrote. He only did two films, only one of which was very good, but his portrayal has a lot of fans. Actually, Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan and Craig have all been very good Bonds in their own way. Even if they were sometimes hampered by poor or mediocre films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

License To Kill is EON doing an 80's American action film (South America, drugs, Michael kamen score etc), and doing rather a good job at it. I like it it. The direction is a bit bland but the stunts are great. And Robert Davi is an excellent villain. 1 minute ago, Disco Stu said: It was the 80s! They were fightin' the dirty Soviets!

I like it it. The direction is a bit bland but the stunts are great. And Robert Davi is an excellent villain. I don't like it. It does have some good action pieces, and Robert Davi is in fact good. And Dalton is excellent, it might even be a better performance than The Living Daylights. But as you point out, the direction isn't, er, great. The photography is ugly, the production values are low (even cheap) and the whole thing has a TV movie look about it. I also think it's a little too violent, even for a Bond film to be frank. And even though the Bond films really aren't "fantasy", I think there's a certain Jame Bond zone that should transport you to that world which I think LTK lacks. It's a polarising film. Most Bond fans, I think, rank it pretty low, but there are a small passionate group that really love it. But I put it at the bottom with Die Another Day and Quantum.
