Re: DWW's Merry Bond Adventure
I need to rewatch Die Another Day at some point I guess. I remember some high peaks and some low lows, but I think I like it better than Tomorrow Never Dies at least. That one I just found dull. With these movies, I will take dumb fun over boring.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.

Re: DWW's Merry Bond Adventure
To me the low lows are consistently the bad CGI and Jinx. I even enjoy the ridiculous refurbished Moonraker plot.

Re: DWW's Merry Bond Adventure
Halle may be hot, but her bad acting with terrible one liner delivery brings down that Bond Girl grade hard.

As unthrilling/dull as this one is, that opera scene is pretty awesome.

Re: DWW's Merry Bond Adventure
The way Daniel Craig hesitates from the fight when he spots the komodo dragon will never not be funny, lol. I love the sudden look on his face.
Also, when I saw Black Panther in the theatre, their "espionage" scene was so remarkably close to this one, I actually expected a komodo dragon pit.

Don't care if that train fight was basically a remake of From Russia With Love's fight, it was a damn good one.

Interesting to see that other people list Red Grant as a henchman, when I thought he was too prominent and dominant in From Russia With Love to count as a henchman.

Close, but I tend to be fond of the Bassey voice.Tiggnutz wrote:No Carly Simon?
