Why am I supposed to hate this again?
You aren't
el arquitecto...
God I miss having a Bond with some class, some style. Craig is just such a crass doofus.
Incoming best Bond Girl...
Also Carlyle was legit great in this movie and I really enjoyed Renard
Dont worry, hating tomorrow never dies and the world is not enough is a reddit meme, they are both great with compelling villains and henchmens, great and original non cgi action scenes realistic plans, beautiful women and clever dialogue
The only bad thing about Brosnan era was the surf scene in Die another Day and not making a fifth movie based on the Nightifre game
It's underrated for sure. Would have improved greatly if they just cut out Denise Richards tough. Not only does her presence ruin the twist, but she serves no purpose at all except getting Bond laid at the end.
>Incoming best Bond Girl...
That would be Xenia Onatopp
she's not a bond girl cause he never got to fuck her
He wishes he did.
>max damage get
But eh...if people can give Mary Goodnight a pass, I don't see what's so terrible about Denise Richards.
Its not as bad as most claim but Christmas Jones is without a doubt one of the worst bond girls and the lack of memorable henchman kind of bring it down.
No one gives Mary Goodnight a pass shes rountinely been called one of the worst Bond girls along with Christmas Jones and Tiffany Case for a long time now.
there was the hot girl in the begining
I've seen people praise every aspect Golden Gun like it's not a middling at best Bond film in every respect.
I just don't see the crime Denise Richards committed. Dressing like Lara Croft?
unironically misoginy, she looked too young and too cute to be a nuclear scientist
Worst locations out of all Bond movies.
>The Thames
>Mountains
>Constantinople
"No!"
Stop quoting nobody, asshole. London was the only location shown favorably in the movie. Besides that we had a glimpse of a place off the coast of Istambul which wasn't enough and such exciting countries like Azerbaijan and plains of Kazakhstan. Worst movie location-wise.
I didnt know trannies watched james bond you should kill yourself
Yeah idk where the Man with the Golden Gun love came from on the Bond threads here but a quick google search is enough to find Mary Goodnight is not well liked.
As for Xmas Jones and why she is a weak character:
>bad acting
>bad dialouge
>comes in too late in the film, not enough time to build chemistry with Bond
>completely superflous to the plot, Bond has been shown to have the knowledge to disarm nukes in previous films so the film actually dumbs down Bond
>terrible casting Denise Ricards is not believable as a nuclear physicist should have at least got a MILF to play Xmas Jones
>upstaged as the Bond girl by Elektra King
You could remove her from the plot and have Bond disarm the nukes like he did in Octopussy and The Spy Who Loves Me and thered be nothing lost.
based
Why her acting was so horrible in the scene where she tortures Bond?
but the Christmas joke though
Thats because both Moore and Christopher Lee are dead
>A Bond girl being a weak character
Incredible, almost like some of them are just eye candy. Good thing you pointed this out
>Yeah idk where the Man with the Golden Gun love came from on the Bond threads here but a quick google search is enough to find Mary Goodnight is not well liked.
She's not well liked by retards who think Bond girls should be competent and relevant to the plot, when they've been used as eye candy since Dr No.
>theme is by garbage
>they are not garbage
pleasantly surprised, their first album is pure 90s
I'll be honest, I can concede a lot of these points. Still, I liked her.
>Elektra starts straddling Bond on the device
Yes please!
On the subject of bad Bond girls,
>who sent you?
>"please don-"
>YO MAMA
>"godamnit"
>I've seen people praise every aspect Golden Gun like it's not a middling at best Bond film in every respect.
That's because it isn't middling it's great. I used to hate it but it's the one Bond flick that gets better every time I watch it
Shouldve drowned and get a Korean girl in te next scenes
1. Honey Ryders presence did not actively dumb down Bond just to shoehorn her in
2. Dr. No is followed by FRWL, Goldfinger, Thunderball and YOLT where the Bond girls actively contribute to the plot and are better actresses than Denise Ricards. Furthermore what are generally considered Moores best films: Spy, FYEO and Octopussy have the Bond girl actively help James and are part of the plot so i have no idea what point youre trying to make.
Its not as bad as some say but its pretty damn middling. The only thing that redeems it is Scaramanga being a kino villain and the stunt that got fucked over by a slide whistle.
Mainly the fact that Denise Richards is not a good actor and the movie goes out on that "Christmas only comes once a year" line. Other than that it's pretty fuckin top notch.
Nightfire was great too.
>Christmas only comes once a year
that's a memorable line
I remember my father being the only one laughing at that joke in a packed cinema, good times.
>Honey Ryders presence did not actively dumb down Bond just to shoehorn her in
How is Brosnan's Bond dumbed down? Because he can't deactivate a nuke? How awful
>Dr. No is followed by FRWL, Goldfinger, Thunderball and YOLT where the Bond girls actively contribute to the plot
Aside from FRWL, none that you mentioned couldn't have been slightly alterered to make the Bond girls unnecessary. You say that Christmas Jones could easily be written out, while so could Domino or either of the Jap girls in YOLT. Even Pussy Galore only contributes to the story in the last 20 minutes and I'm sure they could have figured something else out.
>Furthermore what are generally considered Moores best films: Spy, FYEO and Octopussy have the Bond girl actively help James and are part of the plot so i have no idea what point youre trying to make.
Oh well if they are "generally considered the best" I guess that's it then. No room for argument against what is generally accepted
For how bad it was
>one of the greatest stunts of the 70s
>ruined by a slide whistle
Full English James?
Nah, Nick Nack is creepy as fuck and also hilarious. Maud Adams plays a memorable, sympathetic and tragic Bond girl. The locations and photography are gorgeous, as is the music. Scaramanga's Island is cool as hell, and his golden gun is the most brilliant gadget in the series. Roger Moore is at his toughest and least goofy, doing things that Craig would find problematic and even Connery would blush at. It's great
Didn't she have some sort of expository dialogue about nukes or some shit? Checked
How is Brosnan's Bond dumbed down? Because he can't deactivate a nuke? How awful
Yes because hes been shown in the past multiple times doing exactly that. Dont tell me you like Daniel Craigs retard thug portrayal?
>Aside from FRWL, none that you mentioned couldn't have been slightly alterered to make the Bond girls unnecessary.

Dominos brother being used as a patsy is the entire impetus of MI6 sending Bond to watch Domino in the Bahamas. Shes dating Largo which allows Bond to interact with him, shes there during the junkanoo where Fiona Volpe is killed, Domino kills Largo. She actively contributes to the plot, period. As for YOLT the first girl that dies is superflous but the other secret agent girl is pretty much like the girl from TND except she doesnt outstage Bond and is a solid sidekick.
>Oh well if they are "generally considered the best" I guess that's it then. No room for argument against what is generally accepted
This is why we're having a discussion you moron and you didnt really address the fact that most of what are considered the best bonds have a well acted girl integral to the plot because haveing a deadweight face service role like xmas jones, tiffany case and mary goodnight isnt considered a positive.
Nick-Nack is shit. The rest of what you mention are what elevates it from garbage to middling. A few scenes of Bond being a dick doesnt really excuse all the chessiness of the rest. The biggest problem with Golden Gun is that it is tonally very inconsistent going from some of the cheesiest and dumbest parts of Bond to the serious and utter kino that is the Scaramange and Bond rivalry.
>Nick-Nack is shit
opinion discarded
no...full belly
Eh, she was hot and her bad acting made me laugh. Denise was unintentional comic relief and it worked somehow
I like Die Another Day... I just wish Pike played the love interest and not a Mutt like Berry.
He would have been okay in one of the more campy moore flicks but him being in Golden Gun is one of the biggest instances of how tonally out of whack the film is.
She was just as bad. DAD is just truly awful.
I completely disagree, I thought despite him being a midget he was very threatening and sinister. The way he is always overly polite only adds to this. Also I've never given a shit about tones being consistent, sure it runs the gambit from dark and serious to silly and offbeat but this doesn't bother me in the slightest. If anything it only makes me enjoy the film even more
>DAD is just truly awful
get a load of this pleb
I always found him to be 100% comic relief, maybe if his attempts to kill Scaramanga werent known to his employer and he was secretly trying to kill him but Scaramanga actually allows it and doesnt care because its just practice. The whole dynamic takes away the threat or menace of nick nack trying to kill his boss and i cant really think of any other scene that would make him seem menacing. If he was in moonraker or Diamonds are forever he would have fit right in.
Pike is hot though. Ice Queens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mutts
How many levels of contranianism are you on dude
>ever denying delicious brown skin
user what's wrong with you
For once it has the best intro in the whole series, the best swordfight of any movie and the most unique car chase
>delicious brown skin
>delicious
>brown
Pick one.
>user what's wrong with you
I don't like shitskins. I like my women beautiful and refined.
don't forget the most important part:
>tie-in game was better than goldeneye in every conceivable way
The only thing wrong with it is Denise Richards. Everything else about that movie is 10/10.
>liking pigskins
>liking shitskins
Pigs are at least smart, can be cute, can be made into food and are pretty handy to unleash upon someone. Shit is... shit. It works as a fertillizer, I guess...
All fucking waifufags must fucking hang
Remember in OHMSS when the girl who was allergic to chickens exclaimed "It's true!" when Bond was about to fuck her? What was true? She had just implied that he was gay didn't she?
Why don't you make like a tree, and leave?
Nah im the guy who's been posting actual discussion about the franchise as a whole not having a screechfest over who's the prettiest girl in the worst film of the franchise
Either that or they thought he was just autistically straight-laced/married
Absolutely based OP
i remember seeing this when i was 9 for the first time and she made my penis the big penis and i discovered it felt good rubbing it against the couch whenever she was on screen and then milk came out of my penis and i freaked out and thought i broke it because it felt really overwhelming so i threw away my pants because i was scared my mom would find out i messed up my underwear
>Saturday night with friends sleep over
>marathoner 4 player split screen sometimes with bots and passing the controller
>enabling guided missiles mode in snow level
Take me back user
Hmmm...
>bad guy can't feel pain/ bad guy in constant pain suppressed by drugs
>bad guy secretly in cahoots with main characters love interest
BRAVO NOLAN
>finally about to start craig-era bond
ok, what am I seriously in for guys?
>hey guys, what if we removed all the elements that made the character James Bond but kept the name? Wouldn't that be unexpected!
>Casino Royale
Great, definitely Craigs best.
>Quantum Of Solace
Dogshit. Easily in the bottom 3.
>Skyfall
Good Bond film and a decent movie altogether.
>Spectre
Probably the closest of Craigs films to the classic Bond so if youre a big bond fan you'll love it and overall decent but kind of sloppy with a weak third act.
Is that fucking Nextwave?
It made sense in Casino as he wasnt really a 00 or "Bond" yet but the fact they continued it and it took until Spectre for Bond to even somewhat resemble how he was in the classic era is just retarded.
I always thought this referred to the myth that guys have bigger dicks. Remember they thought he was gay and he was pretending he was but she was special and he was attracted to her in particular for some reason
>d-don't interrupt my Bond discussion with w-waifu battles
Man, and here I thought Bond Girls were supposed to matter or something...
Yup. Ginger Elsa >>>>> Blonde Elsa.
*gay guys
That's close to Pierce's output desu
Its almost as if your autistic screeching was off-topic and contributed nothing aka why the jannies are cleaning it up
My fellow attractive and successful African-American.
I really wish the DVDs edited that whistle out
Rocco Sifreddi for Bond 2019
I didn't recognize him at first and then I saw the credits and was like, damn that WAS Robert Carlyle. The lazy eye Renard had threw me off.
Renard letting Bond kill him was a kino touch
>she serves no purpose at all except getting Bond laid at the end
Um isn't that the point of all BG?
All the most memorable ones had something to do with the plot and were fleshed out
eh.. for a nuclear scientist she didn't do all that much with disarming any nuclear devices unfortunately.. but she was necessary to point out that half the plutonium that was in the pipeline had been removed so it couldn't go critical.
man what happened to denise richards anyway.. in the late 90's she was ridiculously gorgeous.. even in the mid 2000's when she did a playboy spread she was good.. but you see her after like 2010 or so and her face just looks melted.
usually there's 2 in most films, some memorable some forgettable. the most Kino Bond had 3 and Bond didn't even sleep with any of them (Goldfinger)
