James Bond Films

James Bond #4 'Thunderball' - 8/10. The film opens with Bond realising that a woman is actually a man in disguise by the fact that she opens a car door for herself - marvellous. He despatches said villain in drag, tosses flowers on the body and escapes using a rocket backpack, plus the gadgets on his Aston Martin. All that before the opening credits. Bond is fighting SPECTRE once again, as he was in the first two films. This time the main baddie has an eyepatch - excellent. He bumps off his victims by tossing them in a swimming pool full of sharks. Blofeld is also there in the background with his cat, still keeping his face hidden, and we see for the first time his own preferred method of executing traitors - frying them in their seats, which then descend into the floor and come back up again empty - almost exactly as replicated decades later in Austin Powers. As for the rest of the film, it has two of the most beautiful Bond girls to date in lead roles (one good, one a bad 'un) and a pitched underwater battle between the goodies and baddies using harpoon guns - fantastic. Pointlessly re-made by Connery years later in the unofficial and inferior Bond flick 'Never Say Never Again'.

To be honest I've found that one dull as ditchwater since I was a nipper. Pretty much unwatchable.

I used to find it tedious because most of the action is underwater, where everything is slow-motion and soundless, but it is a good script well-acted. Luciana Paluzzi is particularly good as SPECTRE villainess Fiona Volpe, who has apparently seen 'Goldfinger' and has a pop at Pussy Galore: "But of course, I forgot your ego, Mr. Bond. James Bond, who only has to make love to a woman and she starts to hear heavenly choirs singing. She repents, and immediately returns to the side of right and virtue. But not this one." She gets the better of Bond a number of times in the film before he finally makes her dance with him at the carnival and uses her as a human shield for a bullet from one of her henchmen intended for him. He carries her to a spare seat. "Do you mind if my friend sits this one out? She's just dead."

I did a lot of walking, carrying and digging on the first two of my three days off, sorting out a new ISA for the new tax year and working on my garden. It's cold, wet and windy on this the third and final day, so I'm going to spend it all decadently, working through more James Bond films.

James Bond #5 'You Only Live Twice' - 10/10 - the second of three Bond films I consider damn near perfect by my James Bond criteria for entertainment. It opens with an American spacecraft being eaten by a SPECTRE spacecraft, and James Bond being machine-gunned in a female villain's bed. ("At least he died on the job - he'd have wanted it this way.") Roll opening credits. We have Donald Pleasance at last revealing the face of Blofeld, leader of SPECTRE. We have an evil rocket base in a volcano. We have an army of ninja commandoes. We have Little Nellie the gyrocopter packed to the brim with weapons, taking out several enemy attack-copters three times her size. And Bond, now at the height of his superpowers, conveniently having majored in oriental languages at Oxford, being a master pilot, and learning ninja skills overnight. "That's stirred, not shaken. That was right, wasn't it?" "Perfect."

Perfect indeed.

I do not give shelf-space to 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', in which George Lazenby plays an uninspiring Bond, or Connery's last official Bond film, 'Diamonds Are Forever', with its awful homosexual caricature villains and loud, graceless women, but shall be picking up the series again with Roger Moore's debut in 'Live and Let Die'.

Thunderball is one of those films that divides folk I find. When I was younger I found the final reel pretty dull, but it is one that has grown on me over the years. A truly dastardly nefarious plot from SPECTRE, Bond using his wits as much as his toys to win the day, and the second most beautiful woman to co-star with Bond (only pipped to the post by the lovely Ms Hama, who would be along shortly behind her). It also has, in Emil Largo, a villian of appropriate stature. I do agree that the remake is not a patch on the original in this case.

You Only Live Twice is a fantastic film, perhaps one of the finest examples of the Superspy version of Bond. (So good that they basically remade it later on, only with added water). SPECTRE's plan is ludicrous, and yet makes sense in the context of the film. Bond's omni-competence is highly amusing, and it has a great final set-piece battle. To top it all off, if you want something lovely to look at, Mei Hama is in the cast so it has that covered as well.

On reflection I do think that I much prefer the Connery films to Moore's ones. I think there is something, tonally, to Connery's ouvre that I just enjoy more. (At least, until Diamonds are Forever)

YOLT is sublime, almost as good as Goldfinger.

OHMSS is not a great film, but I have a soft spot for it. Mostly for the score, to be honest.

DAF is just dreadful. If only Connery had called it a day with YOLT.

[Grand Moff Muffin]

James Bond #8 'Live and Let Die' - 10/10 - my all-time favourite, right up there with 'Dr No' and 'You Only Live Twice'. It opens with a murder by headphones at the United Nations, a knifing in New Orleans in which an entire funeral procession is accessory, and a murder by snakebite in a frenzied voodoo ritual at night. What's going on, and who can enter this world of horror and set it to rights? Only one man... After Paul McCartney's classic intro, Roger Moore enters as Bond, with a suave confidence that gives the impression he has always been Bond, in a humorous scene with M, Moneypenny and a missing Italian female agent at his apartment, including the use of his super-magnetic wristwatch on M's teaspoon and the female agent's dress zip. "Sheer magnetism, darling." And we're off... The first half of the film has Bond coolly wandering around a black town in which everyone seems to be his enemy - taxi-drivers, shop-keepers, shoe-shiners... He falls victim to a rotating wall in a bar, a chair that disappears into the floor with him in another bar, and Tee-Hee, the cackling villain with a claw for a hand - and he remains unfazed and nonchalant throughout. Then it's off to the poppy fields of exotic island locations, with remote-controlled scarecrows at every turn. Yaphet Kotto is a fine villain, and Jane Seymour as tarot-reading Solitaire my favourite Bond girl. We have shaving cream and cigarette-lighter used as flamethrower to kill a snake, and then used once more for shaving without batting an eyelid. We have the chase with the double-decker bus and the low bridge. We have the chase with the instructor's aeroplane (elderly pupil included) and the closing hangar doors. We have the crocodile farm, where Bond runs ashore along the alligators' backs. We have the epic boat chase, and the legendary Sheriff J.W. Pepper. "Is that a boat in the Sheriff's car?" "Secret agent?! On whose side?!" We have the night-time showdown at the voodoo gathering, with the man who cannot die. We have an underground lair complete with sharks, and villain's death by compressed air pellet. And we have a final fight on the train between Bond and Tee-Hee. How can so much good stuff be packed into 2 hours?

"It's just a hat, darling, belonging to a small-headed man of limited means who lost a fight with a chicken."

Scene of the film:



One thing Moore can't do is mortal terror. He never looks more than mildly, frowningly, eyebrow-raisingly, perturbed. You couldn't put him in the scene in 'Dr No' with the tarantula, or the scene in 'Goldfinger' with the laser, because he's too suave and cool - he knows nothing can kill him. But that's fine, because Connery brought Bond up to that level of invincibility in 'You Only Live Twice', and he will remain so until Timothy Dalton comes along and makes him human again (but boringly human, unlike the early Connery).



Martin

[Grand Moff Muffin]

James Bond #9 'The Man With the Golden Gun' - 6/10 - an offbeat instalment in the series, this, almost like an adventure Bond has in his spare time, in-between defeating super-villains. Scaramanga is an obsessive fan, practising against cardboard cut-outs of Bond in his basement, insecure because it seems he's seen earlier films and knows Bond is the star of the show. He's intelligent and not oblivious to the situation, which gives him an advantage over Bond's more confident foes, but at the same time he seems small fry - he's a clever henchman without a master, not in the league of Dr No, Goldfinger, Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Dr Kananga, in terms of having armies at his disposal, and as such doomed to the fate of a henchman. Furthermore, his solar laser thing seems pretty smale-scale compared with spaceship-eating rockets in volcanoes, storming Fort Knox and having Harlem and New Orleans under your thumb. But it makes for an interesting change of pace before the next super-villain, who won't be long in coming.

And it has the original Mini-Me, which is cause to rejoice.

Martin

[The Doctor]

Saw Quantum of Solace this evening. I didn't think we needed Casino Royal II and I remain unconvinced. It's watchable, and I can see what the makers were trying for, but neither the script nor direction are strong enough. Some atrocious editing doesn't help either. It's passes the time ok but nowt to rave about. Daniel Craig remains strong though.

[Grand Moff Muffin]

Following on from the two films featuring Sheriff J.W. Pepper, we have the two with Jaws. This is definitely the era that made James Bond un-send-upable - you can't parody a series that is already so knowingly ridiculous (Mike Myers couldn't mock Bond by making him any more extremely suave and omnipotent, so had to do something different and made Austin Powers ugly, unsubtle and thick instead). As for Jaws himself, well, 'From Russia With Love', 'You Only Live Twice', 'For Your Eyes Only' and 'Tomorrow Never Dies' all had giant, humourless, musclebound, silent, chiselled blond henchmen, all instantly forgettable and without character, and all killed by Bond in his first fight with them. What's the point of putting them in a film? Jaws, by contrast, is a villain who knows he's in a Bond film and so enjoys himself - and as a result he makes for a long string of entertaining confrontations, survives two films and gets a happy ending. He's as indestructible as Bond himself, surviving cars crashing into houses, falling out of planes, boats going off waterfalls, wrestling sharks, crashes with cable cars, and space stations blowing up. I love the way he and Bond exchange a polite smile of greeting every time they meet, before going at it, I love his facial expressions, and I love his resigned acquiescence when he is swept off by a carnival of party-goers just as he's about to finish 007 off one time.

I like Jaws.

James Bond #10 'The Spy Who Loved Me' - 8/10 - as Karl observed, a variation on 'You Only Live Twice', with a submarine-swallowing ship rather than one rocket swallowing another rocket, and Stromberg, the man who wants to destroy life above sea level and start a new civilisation under the waves. Superb. That's what I want from a Bond villain. We also have the opening sequence with the Union Jack parachute, a very nice ongoing tit-for-tat rivalry between Bond and his female Russian agent partner, and the Lotus car that becomes a submarine. The scene where they drive onto the beach and Bond delicately removes a fish from the vehicle's interior alone defies anyone to parody the franchise.

James Bond #11 'Moonraker' - 7/10 - Hugo Drax, another top-notch Bond villain, with his piano-playing, afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches. He wants to destroy humanity from outer space and re-seed it with a master race. Marvellous. As in the previous film Bond revealed he was an expert in Latin names for exotic fishes and knew how to disarm a nuclear missile, here he recognises the chemical formula and Latin name of a rare orchid, and knows who discovered it and where. Oh, and he can pilot a space shuttle. Amazing for a man who spends all his spare time in casinos and various women's beds.

James Bond #12 'For Your Eyes Only' - 7/10 - a very down-to-Earth adventure after the last two, but engaging nonetheless. The pre-credit sequence, interestingly, takes the form of Bond's final showdown with Blofeld, leader of SPECTRE, not seen since the Connery era but a loose end since he murdered Bond's wife in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. In a nice bit of continuity we see her gravestone, with the date of her death matching the year OHMSS was released. Anyway, Bond can now add dropping a wheelchair-bound person down a chimney stack to his c.v. of politically incorrect achievements. At least the cat got away. The film proper contains the most entertaining of all Bond car chases, as the Lotus self-destructs, leading Bond to fall back on the use of a Citroen 2CV instead.

Despite the strong showing by Moore so far, I have seen 'Octopussy' and 'A View to a Kill' enough times on the telly to know to skip them these days, and the less said about Timothy Dalton the better. I shall resume with the arrival of the third great 007, Pierce Brosnan, in James Bond #17 'Goldeneye'.

Martin

[Deleted]

I think that For Your Eyes Only and The Spy Who Loved Me are two of Moore's greatest Bond films. I don't second Martin's opinions about Timothy Dalton's films however. If anyone has read the Ian Fleming novels they will know that Dalton played Bond like the one in the novels - something that Roger Moore couldn't do. Octopussy wasn't too bad a film and is watchable but thats about all. Moore's jokes like telling a snake to 'hiss off' and him swinging through the jungle complete with Tarzan holler falls flat. A View to a Kill is just plain terrible and, like Diamonds are Forever Moore should have quit while he was ahead.

I completely accept that. I've read the first half dozen Fleming novels, and I do think Dalton's performance is the closest to them. But I find the novels and their hero dull compared to the best Connery/Moore/Brosnan films.

James Bond #17 'Goldeneye' - 8/10. I think Pierce Brosnan brought life back to the sagging franchise, with a combination of Roger Moore's playfulness and a touch of sad emotion. His first pre-credit sequence showed that the super-spy was back as he rode a motorcycle off a cliff after a pilotless, taxiing aeroplane, caught up with it in freefall, climbed into the cockpit and pulled it out of its nosedive. The film drags a bit with the plot-building scenes in Russia in which Bond doesn't feature, but picks up again when he hits St Petersburg with that tank. Sean Bean is always very watchable, and I also like Boris "I am invincible!" and the grenade pen.

James Bond #18 'Tomorrow Never Dies' - 9/10. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this film until I saw it again today. It has perhaps my favourite 007 pre-credit sequence, in which he single-handedly demolishes a terrorist weapons convention and escapes in a jet carrying nuclear bombs just in time to avoid an unabortable British missile strike. "What the hell is he doing?" "His job." He takes out the pursuing fighter by ejecting his hostile passenger into its undercarriage. "Ask the admiral where he would like his bombs delivered," he quips over the radio as M slumps back in her seat and there is cheering in the background. The film loses a point for the angsty but mercifully brief Teri Hatcher scenes and the generic blond henchman, but Jonathan Pryce is a delightful looney, and Dr Kaufman the fake suicide expert is absolutely hilarious. Then there is my second favourite Bond car chase, the BMW in the multi-storey car park which Bond controls from the back seat using his mobile phone. His facial expressions throughout the chase are superb, precisely matching the twists and turns - his frustration as he realises the doors at the bottom are rocket-proof, meaning he has to drive back to the top again, over his own tyre spikes, then his delight as he realises he has self-reinflating tyres. The scene is a joy to watch. And then Michelle Yeoh makes a top-notch foil for him through the rest of the film, every bit as good as Major Amasova from 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. The handcuffed motorcycle chase is sheer genius. But the final act is relatively dull and unimaginative. All the Pierce Brosnan films seem to have superb pre-credit sequences and anticlimactic final acts in comparison, which is a shame.

Two to go!

I really really liked Dalton

[The Doctor]

I thought Dalton was good and had the potential to be the best Bond of all (just look at some of his other work) but was hamstrung by mediocre scripts and direction. A crying shame.

RE: 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. I love that film and have watched it many times. It gets bashed a lot, for reasons that escape me, but I personally think it's great escapism.

-Ralph

[legios]

Dalton was a very good "early-connery" style Bond. Unfortunately he was in films that had abysmal scripts. He had the ability to play the utter ruthlessness that I also liked in Connery. (I'll declare my cards here, I find Moore's Bond very amusing, but I never feel he is as formidable as Connery. Moore is a Super-agent and so you know he will always win through. Connery is, mostly, less superhuman and so wins through by means of quick-thinking and grit). I would have a hard time being afraid or Moore's Bond if I was on the other side of events from him (after all, it is difficult to take someone seriously when you know that there is likely to be a comedy sound effect to accompany proceedings when he takes you down). Dalton's Bond I felt had the potential to justify the appropriate level of concern in a villian and his henchmen.

Unfortunately the two films that Dalton actually got where about as interesting as watching paint dry. I do feel that if he had drawn better material he would have been more highly regarded. (Not that I would wish either of his films on any other Bond - they would have dragged down anyone who was saddled with them).

I do rather like Brosnan's first two films though. They find a nice line between the indestructable superman of Moore's films and the cruelly efficient parentless individual of Connery's. Goldeneye I actually think is one of my favourite recent Bond films. It has a good villian, with clear and understandable motives - revenge is always a nice simple motive for a villian - whilst still having a superbly grandious way of going about things.

It is nice to find that I am not the only person who likes Tomorrow Never Dies! For a while I really did think I was the only person who really liked the film. Yes, it loses a bit of its resonance through being a little late and having to be rewritten a bit as a result (it was originally supposed to come out around the time of the handover of Hong Kong). But it does have some wonderful set-pieces, and Michelle Yeoh does indeed make a fantastic rival/ally for Bond. She's smart, physically capable, resourceful (a bit miffed that she didn't get to do more of the stunts involved in the bike chase herself...).

Brosnan's first two films are thoroughly enjoyable stuff. I try not to think about his last film as Bond too much. It makes me unhappy.

Karl

[Deleted]

I thought Goldeneye wasn't too bad (and the N64 game was the best Bond game ever made) but all of Brosnan's other Bond films don't do much for me.

[Grand Moff Muffin]

My final two mini reviews. Be warned, those who hate 'Die Another Day' will not approve.

James Bond #19 'The World is Not Enough' - 7/10. I can see what they were trying to do with this one, in terms of doing something a bit different with the characters - making the number one female on the credits a baddie for the first time, putting M in peril and messing with Bond's emotions, but it doesn't really hang together for me and borders on becoming a bit angsty. The bits where Bond gets into his element work fine, with him straightening his tie while underwater in the pre-credit Thames boat chase, and the way he disarms the henchman in the casino, pinning his tie to the bar with his own knife and handing his gun to the barman while simultaneously picking up and sipping his Martini (not to mention those superb x-ray glasses) - but there's too little of this, the final act with the submarine is boring, and hence it is the weakest of the Brosnan films in my opinion.

James Bond #20 'Die Another Day' - 9/10. I think this film is great. It loses one point out of ten for Halle Berry, though she's no worse than most other American Bond girls (Holly Goodhead from 'Moonraker' being the only good one I can think of), but other than that I think it's a fitting over-the-top finale to the series of twenty films. We get a villain with an ice palace at the North Pole and a satellite with a heat beam directed at the Earth, the sort of thing that's been missing since the Moore era. The dialogue is to the usual standard, John Cleese's Q is far better on his own than when portrayed as a buffoon in the previous film, there are a few top-notch set pieces - hovercraft minefield chase, ice-speeder/heat beam chase and hi-tech car versus hi-tech car. I think the nanotech invisibility thing is fantastic, and entirely in the spirit of earlier gimmicks such as the Lotus submarine and remote-controlled BMW. The more subtle gadgets such as the glass-shattering vibrator ring are also present and correct. There are some nice homages to earlier films, making it clear that it's an anniversary film - the reference to Bond being given his twentieth watch, the Aston Martin still having its ejector seat as per 'Goldfinger', and all the props in Q's workshop such as Rosa Klebb's shoe and the rocket-pack from 'Thunderball'. The film begins a bit differently, with Bond being captured and staying captured for several months, but biding his time and escaping unfazed at the first opportunity (when transferred to a British ship). My favourite moment of the film is when he saunters into a five-star hotel in Hong Kong with several months of facial growth, and wearing soaked pyjamas, and asks for his usual room - something he couldn't have done back in the Connery era, but which at this stage of his career, after nineteen movies and numerous off-screen adventures, he knows he can pull off. And Rosamund Pike's Miranda Frost is my favourite Bond villainess, going some way to make up for Halle Berry.

And that's it! RIP movie James Bond number one. I can see why they chose to start the career of a new James Bond with Daniel Craig, a Bond who wasn't a product of the Cold War but rather the 21st Century - but I wouldn't have called him James Bond. The 21st Century is too politically correct to have a Bond-type hero start from scratch, and so the first two new Bonds haven't had the feel of Bond to me - not even the feel of the Bond novels. They're too... 21st Century. Daniel Craig's James Bond is just another Jason Bourne. Maybe they'll surprise me, and the third film will have a villain with one eye and a metal foot, plotting to whip up sandstorms in the Sahara to choke the world from his secret city under the penguin colonies of Antarctica, and Daniel Craig's Bond will be laden with gadgets and bad puns. If so, I may become a fan. But there are more good Bond films from the first series to keep me amused for a lifetime, so I'll be content with my lot regardless, and if the modern audience prefers angst and realism they're welcome to it.

The final scores:

10/10 – 'Dr No' / 'You Only Live Twice' / 'Live and Let Die'
9/10 – 'Goldfinger' / 'Tomorrow Never Dies' / 'Die Another Day'
8/10 – 'Thunderball' / 'The Spy Who Loved Me' / 'Goldeneye'
7/10 – 'Moonraker' / 'For Your Eyes Only' / 'The World is Not Enough'
6/10 – 'From Russia With Love' / 'The Man With the Golden Gun'

[Andy Turnbull]

I too thought Dalton was a good Bond, but completely hamstrung by two very poorly written films. GoldenEye is a damned good film, the rest of the Brosnan films I am pretty indifferent to and as has been pointed out GoldenEye is a damned good computer game.

C'mon Ralph, catch up, he passed away in 1962 when Bond threw him into that nuclear reactor!

Sad news about the actor though

Somebody who I speak to at work won't enjoy that news. He considers Wiseman as one of the better actors to play a bond villain.

I picked up Man With The Golden Gun for £3 today in Morrisons where a select number of Bond films are retail under that pricetag.

Moonraker will be my next Bond purchase if I have £3 worth of shrapnel weighing my pocket down again.

At some point I'm hoping to get rid of my collection of James Bond DVD's and replace them with the slimline case editions because I just have too many DVD's and nowhere to put them so streamlining my bookcase whilst still retaining all of the titles I currently have is a factor that I must get round to at some point.

[Shockprowl]

Do we have a Bond thread? If so please feel free to destroy and/or merge this with it, you sexy God Mods.


Having just seen Skyfall, I thought it'd be nice to have a Bond thread.

I love a good Bond film. And Skyfall is right up there. I absolutely loved it. Fantastic film. Fantastic Bond film. It had the fresh/different feel that the Craig Bond films have had (I've enjoyed his other two immensely), yet it seemed to hark back to an older style of Bond film at the same time. Excellent film.


When discussing Bond the immortal questions are:
Who is your favorite Bond, and
Which is your favorite Bond Film.

Skyfall is pretty close to being my favorite! But You Only Live Twice may just still have it.

And favorite Bond is Connery. With Craig in second.

[Hero]

Roger Moore and The Man With the Golden Gun.

[Grand Moff Muffin]

Connery and Brosnan for me, representing two different stages of a wonderfully implausible career. Connery defines the cold war superspy, but I also get immense pleasure from Brosnan playing a guy who has already saved the world a dozen times, including going into space at least once and saving the human race from complete extinction a number of times, and pretty much knows by this point that he's indestructible and can get away with anything. I am in the minority of fans who thinks it's fitting that by the 20th film he has an invisible car and can walk into a 5-star hotel in Hong Kong, bedraggled and dripping wet in his pyjamas with no money and a year's worth of facial hair and ask straight-faced for his usual suite, for his tailor to be sent up and for some lobster with quail's eggs and sliced seaweed with a bottle of Bollinger, and knows he will get it because he's James Bond.

Favourite films of all time?

Dr No
From Russia With Love
You Only Live Twice
Live and Let Die
Tomorrow Never Dies
Die Another Day

But essentially for me it's the first five Conneries, the first five Moores and all four Brosnans showing a steady progression from Cold War cool to invisible cars driving around ice palaces, with a dose of Voodoo, Christopher Lee, Jaws, Sheriff J.W. Pepper and a Citroen 2CV chase somewhere in the middle teaching the franchise to accept its own ridiculousness.
