Edwin:

It is not possible that Never Say Never Again was the first Bond film you saw in theaters if you also saw Octopussy in the theater. Octopussy was released before NSNA. OP came out in June and NSNA was released in October.

You forget one thing - when movies were released way back when, they played for months. I saw NSNA first and then saw Octopussy a little while later as I really enjoyed NSNA. Octopussy was still playing after all those months.

I miss when films would play for a year. Hell, ET played for over a year at some places. Today, movies are in and out of the theaters in a week.

I always found timothy dalton very boring as bond. He"s got no sence of humor. He only shows two side of bond: either serious ore pissed off. The other actors had some kind of combination of humor and the serious. Sean connery and casino royales: daniel craig has in my mind the best combination

[ThePlacidman]

From Russia with Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and The Living Daylights are the best James Bond films of the series.

Michael Foltz looks like Terry Silver.

I personally liked Licence To Kill, I thought it was excellent.

Nice Reviews. Though I was wondering Edwin, how come you think The spy who Loved me is silly, but liked Ocutopussy and Diamonds are Forever? I thought the only silly scenes in that movie were the music playing as they are driving the van after getting the crap beat out of it by Jaws and some of Jaws things, but I thought it was a pretty serious Film and Roger more's second most serious movie.

3 guys with no talent ripping Bond films.

Actually, The Spy Who Loved Me rips off Gerry Anderson's script for Moonraker written after Golden Gun was in production. Anderson was threatening to sue Broccoli for plagiarism, but backed out when realizing that Broccoli had a powerful legal team behind him.

Saltzman loved Anderson's script and it was going to be the next Bond film. Broccoli made "Spy" instead because Saltzman ended his partnership with him.

Although License to kill has its silly moments, they are few and far between and the darker more human approach work really well for this movie I thought. It needed better and more creative direction in certain areas though. The final action scenes with the trucks was fantastic stuff. Its a movie that really grows on you over time.

[dafmurray]

Have to agree with Eric Cohen about 'Licence To Kill'.

[Roger007Poore]

MoonRaker is wrongly regarded as campy and silly. Yet its not silly at all, may except The space thing, but thats only at the end.

There are WAY more... WAY WAY more campy Bond films:

You Only Live Twice

Diamonds Are Forever

Live And Let Die

MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
