Year: 1995
Director: Martin Campbell
Plot: Pierce Brosnan made his first appearance as James Bond in this action thriller, the 17th in the series (excluding the 1967 Casino Royale and the 1983 Never Say Never Again) featuring the suave British super-agent. As the story begins, Agent 007 and his partner, Agent 006 (Sean Bean), pull a daring raid on a chemical weapons plant in the Soviet Union; however, they are captured by Russian troops, and while Bond is able to escape, 006 is not so lucky. Several years later, the Soviet Union and the Cold War are a thing of the past, but Bond is still at work ferreting out evildoers everywhere. Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), a beautiful but vicious villain working with the Russian Mafia, spearheads the theft of the controls to GoldenEye, a high-tech satellite weapons system, and with her gunmen, she kills most of the soldiers and guards at a top-secret military facility in the process. Bond joins forces with Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), one of the base's few survivors, to help track down Onatopp's minions and the controls to GoldenEye, which can destroy all electronic circuits in a given area in a matter of seconds; however, in time, Bond discovers the true identity of the criminal mastermind who is behind this bid for unholy power and world domination -- none other than Alec Trevelyan, the man Bond once knew as 006. In addition to Brosnan, GoldenEye also marked another significant cast change for the Bond series -- Judi Dench made her debut as M, Bond's superior. Minnie Driver also has a cameo as a nightclub singer. Sadly, this was the last film in the Bond series for special-effects supervisor Derek Meddings, who died in the midst of production; the film was dedicated to him. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million). A fourth film would normally see an even bigger drop in box office receipts, but next week’s Fast & Furious has a good chance of actually being the highest-grossing film in the series yet, due to the return of original cast members Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster and, most importantly, Vin Diesel. With the expectation that Fast & Furious will be enough of a hit to save the franchise, we take a look at ten other films that similarly kept their respective series going, either because of an increase in profits or a surprising increase in quality, following one or many disappointing installments. Batman Begins (2005) It’s appropriate to begin with the film that has “begins” in the title. Also, this is one of the more obvious examples (it’s also the first in alphabetical order), but it almost seems to count the least, because while it did lift the Batman franchise back up, both in terms of box office and quality, after Batman & Robin, Christopher Nolan’s reboot of the character isn’t much in line with the previous installments. For all the difference between Burton’s and Schumacher’s pairs of films, they are of the same continuity, for the most part. Still, compared to attempted reboots like Superman Returns and Punisher: War Zone, Batman Begins is a real savior; just imagine if it had failed, and we’d never have gotten The Dark Knight. Goldeneye (1995) and Casino Royale (2006) While Casino Royale is another obvious choice and could very well have been the only James Bond film on this list, it’s worth including Goldeneye, too, because after the disappointing 007 films starring Timothy Dalton, this installment boosted the franchise’s profits way back up and thankfully knocked Moonraker off the highest-grossing-Bond movie throne. Beginning a more action-packed run with new lead Pierce Brosnan, Goldeneye was a terrific addition to the series even if it led to a subsequent drop in quality where spectacle took precedence over story. Fortunately, a decade later Casino Royale came in and saved the franchise once again. Halloween H20 (1998) Thanks in part to the return of Jamie Lee Curtis, who was joined by a crop of young, likable stars including Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (not to mention LL Cool J), Halloween H20 was a huge success and a huge breath of fresh air after a number of unwatchable (even with Paul Rudd) Halloween sequels. This film did the Superman Returns thing, too (and first), where it jumped back and ignored all the terrible installments, treating them as having never happened. It wasn’t great, but it was better, and for the first time, a Halloween sequel grossed more money than the original (since that time, the remake has replaced H20 at the top). Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) Following two adequate but not great Harry Potter adaptations from Chris Columbus, the series got a huge makeover and new life when Alfonso Cuaron took on the third film. Though some of us may think it a tad overrated and not actually as great as the fourth film, Goblet of Fire, Prisoner of Azkaban was undeniably important in showing that the franchise could (and would) mature along with its characters. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) It wasn’t necessarily because Heather Langenkamp returned to the series, and it wasn’t necessarily that this second sequel took in so much money (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge had already out-grossed the original). After a darkly shot and depressingly non-scary sequel, Dream Warriors did the best thing a horror franchise can do (in our opinion): it turned it into a fantasy film that combined the likes of Dungeons and Dragons and superhero movies. Without this refreshing installment, we children of the ‘80s might not have continued following the franchise so enthusiastically. Mission: Impossible III (2006) This J.J. Abrams-directed installment may have been the lowest grossing of the franchise, but it is the best of the three. Coming off the sloppy and confusing disasters that were Brian De Palma’s original and John Woo’s sequel, that may not be saying much, but shockingly it is an exceptional action film. Part of its favor is of course Philip Seymour Hoffman as the villain (and as Ethan Hunt disguised as the villain wearing a Philip Seymour Hoffman mask), but overall the film was more critically lauded than the first two films, and in spite of its being a box office disappointment, M:iI:III may have saved the franchise simply on the merit of its reviews (or, is a fourth installment merely being made because Hollywood has nothing better to do?). Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) and Star Trek: First Contact (1996) Many Trekkies would note that every other installment in the Star Trek franchise saves the series, and it’s generally understood that even-numbered films are always better than odd-numbered. Many Trekkies would also argue therefore that Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan should be on this list for initially saving the series following a relatively weak start. But we non-Trek fans have to point to The Voyage Home for bringing in us kids who cared more about humpback whales than space battles. Or, at least that seems to be how this installment managed to become the (still) highest-grossing Trek movie. Unfortunately, there were no sea mammals in any of the subsequent sequels and it wasn’t until the Next Generation TV cast got their own movie (as in, not shared with the original crew) that another installment, First Contact, out-grossed all other sequels (except the always-reigning whale-filled one, of course) and appeared to temporarily save the franchise once again. Later this year, we’ll get to see if J.J. Abrams’ reboot, Star Trek, has any ocean life and/or what it takes to jumpstart the series, too. Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) It made the least amount of money of the three Star Wars prequels, but Attack of the Clones was the trilogy’s saving grace, because after the “George Lucas ruined my childhood!” disappointments of The Phantom Menace, this second (or fifth?) installment of the franchise got the old fans excited again by alluding to (and leading in the direction of) more characters and events of the original movies, while overall featuring a better plot and more satisfying action. It helped, of course, that Jake Lloyd isn’t in it and that Jar-Jar isn’t quite as prominent. If it hadn’t been so good, many of us would have never bothered with Revenge of the Sith. In a way, it’s to the other two prequels what Empire Strikes Back was to the other films of the first trilogy, though it’s not quite worthy of such a favorable comparison.

Body: Maxim has named Quantum of Solace actress Olga Kurylenko “the hottest Bond Girl ever.” How does one even make such an assessment, when there are so many memorable Bond Girl moments? Remember Ursula Andress, rising from the sea in a bikini? Or Halle Berry, rising from the sea in a bikini? Or Famke Janssen sex-attacking Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye? (Oh, Famke. You really know how to pick a paycheck.) If you answered “Sure. Whatever.” to one or both of those first two examples, I have a statistic that I’d like to share with you. Did you know that there’s an extremely high rate of death amongst Bond Girls who have worn a bikini? It’s true. Based on my extraordinarily scientific research, out of 11 Bond girls who had “bikini moments,” to borrow the terminology used on JamesBondWiki, five died before the end of the film. That’s 45 percent, making the wearing of a two piece bathing suit in the company of James Bond just about the most dangerous activity a woman could engage in anywhere on the planet at any time in history. In the hopes that future Bond Girls will learn the lesson of their forebears and stay away from the skimpy garments of death, I’ve compiled a five point dossier on how and why these bathing beauties met their mortal ends. Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) in Goldfinger Auric Goldfinger’s ladyfriend is quite the multi-tasker: the bikini-clad, binocular-toting Bond Girl manages to help her boyfriend cheat at cards and work on her tan at the same time! Apparently less impressed than I, Goldfinger eventually paints her gold and she dies of “skin suffocation.” Years later, Mythbusters investigated whether or not such a death is actually possible (answer: probably not), and actress Shirley Eaton appeared on the show to refute rumors that she actually died while encased in gold paint for the movie. Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) in Thunderball This bad Bond Girl is a SPECTRE asassin who eventually takes a bullet that was meant for James. But not before, in the inimitable words of her character’s Wikipedia profile, “she waits for Bond in his bathtub, she seduces him and they have erotic sex.” That’s the best kind to have! Rosie Carver (Gloria Hendry) in Live and Let Die Another Bond villainess, Rosie was the first black Bond Girl. A rogue CIA agent, she checks into Bond’s hotel room as “Mrs. Bond” so that she can be there to seduce him when he arrives. Rosie manages to keep her true identity a secret through a day of deep sea fishing, but eventually James figures out that his new lover is actually a baddie and confronts her, at which point she runs away, only to be killed by another underling of the bad guy she’s been working for. Naomi (Caroline Munro) in The Spy Who Loved Me It is important for helicopter pilots to wear bikinis. Especially helicoptor pilots who flirt with James Bond while trying to shoot him. Unfortunately, this skimpily-dressed helicopter pilot/would-be 007 assassin didn’t get her man, in either a mortal sense or a sexy one, because James blew up her helicopter with a torpedo. Solange Dimitrios (Caterina Murino) in Casino Royale Solange, the wife of one of main bad guy Le Chiffre’s men, is first seen riding a horse on the beach in her bikini. After Bond wins her husband’s Aston Martin in a poker game, he gives Solange a ride back to his hotel. They’re all set to Do It when the phone rings, and Solange ends up leaking the info that Bond will need to thwart her husband’s terrorist attack on Miami. Yay for Bond (and Miami), bad for Solange, who is tortured and killed as a result. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth

Solange Dimitrios (Caterina Murino) in Casino Royale Solange, the wife of one of main bad guy Le Chiffre’s men, is first seen riding a horse on the beach in her bikini. After Bond wins her husband’s Aston Martin in a poker game, he gives Solange a ride back to his hotel. They’re all set to Do It when the phone rings, and Solange ends up leaking the info that Bond will need to thwart her husband’s terrorist attack on Miami. Yay for Bond (and Miami), bad for Solange, who is tortured and killed as a result. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog http://www.spout.com/blogs/spoutblog/archive/2008/11/10/37148.aspx Post By: SpoutBlog

Body: “Shaken, not stirred.” “Hello, Moneypenny.” “Bond, James Bond.” These are some of the classic lines you hear in nearly every James Bond film. Then there are lines that are unique to each film, and that stick with you after you’ve seen them. Lines like: “No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!” - Auric Goldfinger in Goldfinger “Good choice, she is very sexiful.” - Tiger Tanaka in You Only Live Twice “Now put your clothes back on and I’ll buy you an ice cream” - James Bond in For Your Eyes Only But what Bond movies excel at — besides action, intrigue, and sex — is pure, unadulterated cheese. These films have given us some of the cheesiest lines in the history of filmmaking, and the updated Daniel Craig movies are no exception. From Sean Connery on down, the actors in Bond films have had to deliver cringe-inducing dialog from time to time. We remember the worst after the jump. Goldfinger Pussy: “My name is Pussy Galore” Bond: “I must be dreaming.” Now, this isn’t exactly cheese per se, but it did establish the long-running gag of having women with names that drip with sexual innuendo. You could probably argue that Ursula Andress first established this in Dr. No as Honey Ryder, but there probably hasn’t been as blatant a name as Pussy Galore until Austin Powers met Alotta Fagina. Although Holly Goodhead from Moonraker might rate a close second, and you can’t forget Octopussy from… Octopussy. In the new Casino Royale they poke fun at this naming scheme when Daniel Craig’s Bond jokingly tells Vesper that her cover name is “Stephanie Broadchest.” Diamonds Are Forever Blofeld: “The satellite is at present over… Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years. Perhaps New York, with all that smut and traffic… might give them a chance for a fresh start. Washington, DC. Perfect. Since we have not heard from them, they will hear from us.” - Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever Admittedly, this is my favorite Bond film, and it pains me to include this line, but it just doesn’t work. Blofeld is a criminal mastermind, and preparing to obliterate a massive target with his diamond-powered superlaser, and this bit of cheese is the best thing they could come up with? Yes, he’s an evil arch-villain and all that jazz, but that doesn’t mean he’s coocoo for Cocoa Puffs. I wonder how people who lived in Kansas felt about this line. They probably either chuckled, or else swore off all Bond movies from that moment on. It’s just too goofy for a classic villain to be say before firing what amounts to a miniature Death Star. Even though the guy was bald and carried a white cat around, he was still a pretty creepy nemeis for Bond. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service Bond: “This never happened to the other fellow.” - George Lazenby’s James Bond, directly to the camera When Sean Connery finally retired from James Bond duty, producers tapped George Lazenby to fill his shoes. In the opening scene of the movie, Lazenby’s Bond rescues a girl from drowning, carries her to shore, and then is attacked by thugs. Although he eventually beats them, the girl zooms off in her car, leaving Bond with only her shoes in his hands. Then he delivers the above line to the camera. In today’s terms the producers would have been texting each other saying “LOLZ! Get it?! OMG WTF! LMFAO!” Seriously, did we really need this line? Maybe in a tongue-in-cheek commercial or something, but not in the first film introducing a new Bond. It makes it all a bit too meta and goofy. The Spy Who Loved Me M: “Moneypenny, where’s 007?” Monneypenny: “He’s on a mission sir. In Austria.” M: “Well, tell him to pull out. Immediately.” Of course, the scene then cuts to a scene of Bond in bed with a woman. Ah, the comic high-larity! Roger Moore’s James Bond films somehow gave themselves a license to cheese, with Moore himself often delivering some of the campiest lines. In this movie’s final scene, Bond and his female Russian superspy counterpart Triple X (nice name, eh?) are found in bed together by their respective bosses. When asked what he’s doing, Bond replied, “Keeping the British end up, sir.” It wouldn’t be his last trip into the cheese. For Your Eyes Only The Prime Minister (on the phone): “Ah, Mr. Bond. I wanted to call you personally and to say how pleased we all are that your mission was a success. Thank you.” Parrot: “Thank you, thank you.” The Prime Minister: “Don’t thank me, Mr. Bond. Your courage and resourcefulness are a credit to the nation. Denis and I look forward to meeting you. Meanwhile, if there is anything I can do for you… Parrot: “Give us a kiss, give us a kiss.” The Prime Minster: “Well, really, Mr. Bond.” Continuing yet another tradition in the Bond movies of having Bond getting back into bed with a woman he’s met over the course of the film, this movie was no different. Except it continued Moore’s habit of cheesy lines at the end of the films. Bond puts the phone down near a parrot when the Prime Minister calls to congratulate him, and ends up speaking to the parrot. Were they saying that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was as stupid as a post and couldn’t tell when she was a talking to a bird? Still, as cheesy as it is, it’s still not as bad as… Moonraker Sir Frederick Gray, Minister of Defense: “My God, what’s Bond doing?” Q: “I think he’s attempting re-entry, sir.” At the end of this movie, the Minister of Defense calls to congratulate Bond on another job well done, and they dial him up on a space-age video phone to the space shuttle that Bond and Dr. Goodhead are in. Of course, they’re wrapped up in silver sheets and having some zero-gravity intercourse, which Bond must feel the urge to do every time he’s saved the world. In Q’s defense he’s looking at a graphical represenation of Bond’s flight, which still doesn’t forgive this ultra-cheesy line. A View To A Kill May Day: “Wow! What a view!” Max Zorin: “To a kill!” Easily my least favorite James Bond film, and it also has another pet peeve of mine in it: characters say the name of the movie script. Grace Jones’ May Day and Christopher Walken’s Max Zorin characters are hovering over Silicon Valley, about to see their plan work, and these are the two lines you get? Although you can’t really expect anything more out of this movie. Between Walken’s wild-haired Zorin, Grace Jones’ creepy May Day, and Roger Moore as James Bond in New York wearing a leather jacket to look “cool,” there wasn’t much to offer. Sadly, the Duran Duran title song was the best thing about this movie. License to Kill Bond: “I guess it’s… a farewell to arms.” Timothy Dalton’s Bond was a good deal darker and grittier than Roger Moore, and he played the role in a much more serious manner. In this movie, Bond hands in his resignation and goes rogue in order to take down the killers who brutally murdered the new wife of his close friend Felix Leiter. M immediately strips him of his Double 0 status and demands he hand in his firearm. This scene would have a lot more impact if Bond could have managed it without the quip at the end. In Dalton’s previous outing as Bond, The Living Daylights, he refers to a female sniper, “Whoever she was, I must have scared the living daylights out of her.” GoldenEye Xenia Onatopp: “You don’t need the gun.” James Bond: “Well, that depends on your definition of safe sex.” Besides giving us a brand new Bond who represented a complete return to the joking days of Roger Moore with Pierce Brosnan, this movie also gave us another Bond girl with a sexual name, Xenia Onatopp. It also gave us new cheesy lines, like the one above. James Bond making a safe sex joke about a gun is certainly something you’d never experience back in the Connery days. Somehow Brosnan was able to pull off his glib remarks better than Moore ever did. Moore always seemed like he was about to crack up, but Brosnan kept it under a cool exterior. Although he did provide us with the cheesiest line in the history of James Bond movies… The World Is Not Enough James Bond: “I was wrong about you.” Christmas Jones: “Yeah, how so?” James Bond: “I thought Christmas only comes once a year.” People I know still groan and quote this line from the end of the film which finds Brosnan’s Bond and Denise Richards’ Dr. Christmas Jones in post-coital bliss. You had to know there was going to be some kind of a Christmas joke based on past Bond movies, but this one really was like a punch in the stomach. I remember thinking, “Oh he didn’t just say… he did. Holy crap, Pierce Brosnan, you’re dead to me.” I’ve probably mellowed out these past few years, but you just can’t buy Denise Richards as an extremly busty girl who dresses in short shorts and is trying to pass herself off as a nuclear physicist.

Daniel Craig does a nice job of filling the role of bond and I look forward to the Casino Royale sequel. For those interested, Never Say Never again and the original Casino Royale are not part of the James Bond franchise. Interesting side note: Bond titles that mention death in any of its wonderous forms for some reason usually don't meet the expectations of the series. Thank you.

Body: I am with you on the whole list except for #1 - I really enjoy the idea of updating Bond to compete with the more successful Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt franchises. Bond is supposed to be suave, but it got to be a joke with the Roger Moore and the post-Goldeneye Pierce Brosnan films' cheesiness. Bond had to be a badass to get his 007 certification and this last film was really well done (still not as good as The Bourne Supremacy though). Looking back at the revered series I personally only like a handful of the films and I only think two are top notch in writing and directing for action thrillers- Goldfinger and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I think this last one is the sign of better things to come. You are right about the Indiana Jones series ending perfectly - I just don't know how they can satisfy their audience with a fourth. I agree with you on the Terminator series too - that would be a great concept for the continuing of the series. I was so underwhelmed with both of the first two Spiderman movies that I can't imagine sitting through a third. Shrek and Austin Powers were good ideas for the first movies maybe even the second, but I can't gather any excitement to ever watch any more from either. George Lucas showed that making sci fi action films is a young man's game - I can't believe how much he betrayed his original trilogy fans with one bad idea after another (casting, Jar Jar, the accents.....etc.). I have no sympathy anymore and I think he is completely irrelevant to today's audiences and if I was Spielberg I would worry about having him on my team for Indiana Jones. I will never watch anything else with his name attached unless it receives univeral acclaim (good luck with that) from some credible sourcess. Good post. BTW - did you hear they are making a new Incredible Hulk movie for 2008 with Edward Norton attached and the director of the Transporter series. I can't believe fine actor Norton signed up for a sequal of a not well recieved movie that isn't even being directed by Ang Lee anymore.

George Lucas showed that making sci fi action films is a young man&#39;s game - I can&#39;t believe how much he betrayed his original trilogy fans with one bad idea after another (casting, Jar Jar, the accents.....etc.). I have no sympathy anymore and I think he is completely irrelevant to today&#39;s audiences and if I was Spielberg I would worry about having him on my team for Indiana Jones. I will never watch anything else with his name attached unless it receives univeral acclaim (good luck with that) from some credible sourcess. Good post. BTW - did you hear they are making a new Incredible Hulk movie for 2008 with Edward Norton attached and the director of the Transporter series. I can&#39;t believe fine actor Norton signed up for a sequal of a not well recieved movie that isn&#39;t even being directed by Ang Lee anymore. http://www.spout.com/blogs/hairylime/archive/2007/2/5/5270.aspx Post By: HairyLime

Body: I have to admit, I have been away from the Bond franchise for some time. The last one I saw was 'Goldeneye', and while I thought it was a cut above the previous few entries, I was getting a little tired of the concept, thinking "how long can they keep milking this?" -- Well we had heard that this new Bond Daniel Craig was worth a look, so we ventured out to our local multiplex to check him out around December. Additionally, the 'Encore' channel started running all the old Bonds around the New Year (and if you got the 'on demand' option with your cable service, you could watch all of them at your leisure in widescreen no less!), so around here, we've been thoroughly drenched in Bond for the past few months. This weekend, we were snowed in and watched one of the more recent Pierce Brosnan entries, so with all this is mind, I thought I'd do an overview of the 007 pantheon (at least the ones I've seen, who knows how many times by now).I have to start by qualifying some of my prejudices about the series. I cut a lot of slack for the early ones. Budgets were low, the mindsets were different, audiences weren't quite so demanding of constant 'bang for the buck' as they are today. Sean Connery is still the favorite, and I will never understand how Roger Moore survived as long as he did.Dr. No (1962) - The franchise started the year I was born, but I didn't actually see this film until the mid-eighties video boom. Recently revisited it thanks to the Encore channel last month. Sean Connery sets the standard for the cool playboy secret agent, handles himself well in fights, makes snappy double entendres and Ursula Andress in her bikini and knife-belt combo is probably the most iconic of 'Bond girls'. Action-wise, the film is a little slow, but it has the proto-typical 'evil genius' and 'hidden island lair'. From Russia With Love (1963) - Haven't seen this one since the seventies, so its not fair to review this one. I seem to remember Robert Shaw was an impressive baddie, and the weird little woman with the pointy shoes was probably the model for the female evil sidekick character in the 'Austin Powers' movies.Goldfinger (1964) - Good villain, wierd henchman (with a lethal bowler hat no less), and Bond girl with the best name ("Pussy Galore") - Great car, good memorable lines "I expect you to die, Mr. Bond!" and the best of the theme songs.Thunderball (1965) - Remade as 'Never Say Never Again' in the eighties. Never a good idea to include scuba chase scenes, they really slow down the action. Good Tom Jones theme song. Haven't seen this one since the eighties, so I'll pass on more comments.You Only Live Twice (1967) - The goofiest of the Sean Connery films. Check out Bond in Japanese makeup made to pass as a native. Very cliche villain and volcano hideaway which was probably the model for Dr. Evil in the 'Austin Powers' films. Bond flies around in a mini helicopter with 4 distinct weapons onboard, and is chased by and dispatches - you guessed it - 4 helicopters. You can usually tell how weak the franchise is getting by how many techno gadgets get introduced.Casino Royale (1967) - A testament to how stale the franchise was becoming, it was ripe for lampoon. Not worth a look, this is a total mess. But maybe worth a peek at the final reel just to catch Woody Allen's bit as the evil 'James Bond Jr.'On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) - Saw this for the first time last month. Not as bad as I was expecting. Telly Savalas makes a rather lame villain which is probably the biggest flaw. Diana Rigg is appealling and a nice tough mate for James. George Lazenby is a little on the dry side, but handles himself well, has a lot of good one liners. Ski chase scenes aplenty (and we'll be getting many more of them in the future, unfortunately).Diamonds Are Forever (1971) - Connery comes back, looking a little pudgy, but still holding his own. This one has my favorite Bond double entendre when he comments on Jill St. John's wig change : "as long as the cuffs and collars match" - colorful villainous henchmen, just bordering on spoofery, the usual evil genius villain with an exotic hideaway that needs to be stormed. Not bad, but needs fresh ideas badly.Live and Let Die (1973) - Enter Roger Moore. Great theme song. Colorful villains and voodoo setting. A nice boat chase. Overall though, this Bond seems to play everything a little too much for laughs. A constant smirk on his face and the fact that he never looked believable in the fight scenes always left me a little cold on Roger Moore.The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) - More silliness. Killer midgets, another boat chase with the same southern sherrif along for the ride. We are in serious 'sequel-itis' territory now. Just treading water.The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) - Tried watching this one last month, couldn't get interested. 'Jaws' makes his first appearance. It just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Moonraker (1979) - More 'Jaws'. Slow motion outer space climax (pardon the pun). Tied for a three way "worst bond film ever" award.For Your Eyes Only (1981) - Almost palatable Roger Moore bond. (more skiing though - probably easier to hide the stunt man beneath all the protective gear). Topol makes a good ally/sidekick. Revenge seeking crossbow weilding bond girl is a nice touch.Octopussy (1983) - More silliness. Maud Adams again for some reason (wasn't she killed off in 'Golden Gun'?) Girly Circus Troupe. Ok. (three way "worst bond film ever" winner)Never Say Never Again (1983) - To underscore how badly the franchise needs a facelift, but not quite the facelift it needed, Sean Connery goes back at it again in this 'unofficial' remake of 'Thunderball'. Beats the current 'official' Bond movies hands down, but still needs a younger actor in the role. Good villain turn by Klaus Maria Brandauer. A View To a Kill (1985) - Badly in need of a makeover now. Roger Moore is looking quite old and frail by this time and the pairings with the young girls is starting to earn catcalls. Grace Jones and Christopher Walken and Duran Duran title song. (three way "worst bond film ever" winner)The Living Daylights (1987) - Timothy Dalton takes over. While he has a good British theatrical delivery and seems to have a lot of severe intensity, he strikes me as being a bit of a 98 lb weakling in the brawn department. 'AIDS awareness Bond' spends much more time out of bed in the next few movies and more time with small potatoes bad guys and outlandish action sequences. An improvement on Roger Moore at any rate.Licence to Kill (1989) - Revisited last month. Good final chase scene (if not a little improbable - semi trucks doing wheelies?) - Grim determined Timothy Dalton goes on a revenge spree and brings Q along for the ride. Good creepy villain. Funny cameo by Wayne Newton as a new age guru.Goldeneye (1995) - Pierce Brosnan takes over. Refreshing to see the sex jokes back in the mix. Good over the top action sequences (love the tank chase scene). Bond is back in a good way. But oddly enough its not enough to sustain my interest and I end up missing the next three at the theater. Nice touch bringing in Judi Dench as M. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) - haven't seen it yetThe World Is Not Enough (1999) - Saw this one last weekend. Good villain, good 'bad bond girl' - extremely silly 'good bond girl' (who buys Denise Richards as a nuclear scientist?) - Good enough Bond flick, but we seem to be getting back to a bit of Roger Moore-ishness in the spoof/seriousness ratio.Die Another Day (2002) - haven't seen it yetCasino Royale (2006) - Wow. Bond taken a bit more seriously ala 'Batman Begins'. Daniel Craig actually looks like he can 'take a licking and keep on ticking'. And I love the 'Bond with an attitude' persona he puts forward, reminds me of Connery in his youth. Favorite line: Bond: "give me a vodka martini" Bartender: "shaken or stirred?" Bond: "do I look like I give a damn?" - And doesn't everyone need a car with a built-in defibulator?Looking forward to where this goes next... addendum: A few other 'Spy Films' that might help take away the bad taste of 'too much Bond' - "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold" with Richard Burton, "Three Days of the Condor" with Robert Redford, and recently "The Constant Gardener" with Ralph Fiennes -- they treat the 'glamorous world of spy-dom' with a generous dose of skepticism and a refreshingly bleak world view.
