"DIE ANOTHER DAY" (2002) Review

The 2002 movie, ”DIE ANOTHER DAY” marked several milestones in the James Bond franchise. One, it was released during the 40th anniversary of the cinematic Bond, which began with 1962’s ”DR. NO”. Two, it was the first time that a non-white actress portrayed the leading lady in a Bond film. And three, it happened to be Pierce Brosnan’s last Bond film for EON Productions . . . at the moment.

”DIE ANOTHER DAY” starts out with a mission in which Bond has to kill a North Korean army officer named Colonel Moon, who has been illegally selling military...

"YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" (1967) Review

In recent years, EON Production’s 1967 movie, "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" has not been highly regarded door many Bond fans. In a way, I can understand why, judging door Sean Connery’s performance in his fifth consecutive turn as James Bond and the movie’s plot.

The plot begins with the abduction of an American space capsule in space door a mysterious craft. The U.S. government blames the Soviet government, but the British government, who has tracked the mysterious craft to Japan, where James Bond is sent to investigate. With the help of Tiger Tanaka and Japan’s...

"ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE" (1969) Review

At least ten years of meer must have passed since I last saw the 1969 Bond movie, "ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE (OHMSS)". EON Production’s sixth entry in the Bond franchise has the distinction of being the only movie that starred Australian male model-turned-actor, George Lazenby. It was the first EON movie that did not ster Sean Connery – already fixed in the public’s mind as the only actor who can portray James Bond. And it was the only movie that was directed door former film editor, Peter Hunt.

I first became aware of “OHMSS”...

Quantum of Solace Review

posted by alexwberg

I just saw it for a seconde time and it diminished in my eyes a bit. globaal, algemene I think it's a top, boven 7 film of so in the pantheon of Bond, but meer than just the traditional elements were lacking. I think I got caught up in the fervor of the action in my first comments.

First, off it was just too short. I can only imagine how much might have been left on Forster's editing room floor. meer chemistry and banter with Fields? Those moments were such pure joy; perhaps as they were so fleeting. I would have like to have seen the characters developed meer fully. The chemistry was there from the ensemble...

"QUANTUM OF SOLACE" (2008) Review

I am going to be perfectly frank. I had hesitated to write this review of the 2008 James Bond movie, ”QUANTUM OF SOLACE”. Why? Because it has left me in a daze.Four days have passed since I saw the movie and I am still experiencing slight feelings of confusion about it. I had considered delaying my review until a seconde viewing, but I decided to go ahead and write my first impressions of the film.

”QUANTUM OF SOLACE” is obviously a direct sequel of the 21st film in the Bond franchise, ”CASINO ROYALE”. The vorige movie ended with James Bond’s (Daniel...

"DR. NO" (1962) Review

his 1962 movie marked the cinematic debut of the Bond franchise, created door Cubby broccoli and Harry Saltzman (EON Productions). Sean Connery also made his debut in this film as the MI-6 agent, James Bond. Although many critics and fans consider film as one of the meer impressive in the franchise, I honestly cannot say that I share their opinion.

”DR. NO”’s story starts with the murder of MI-6 agent Strangeways and his secretary door a trio of assassins in Jamaica. Bond is ordered door his superior, M, to investigate the agent’s death and eventually stumbles upon a...

"GOLDFINGER" (1964) Review"

Ever since its release in 1964, the James Bond movie, "GOLDFINGER" has been regarded as one of the best ever in the franchise. In fact, it is considered door many Bond fans as the franchise's definitive film, considering that it meer of less created what is known as "the Bond formula".

The 1959 Ian Fleming novel, upon which the movie is based, is also highly regarded door some fans. However, others believe that the movie is an improvement on the literary version. While I agree that the movie, "GOLDFINGER" is an improvement over the novel, I have a rather low opinion of...

"SKYFALL" (2012) Review

Before I had sat down in a movie theater to watch the latest James Bond movie, "SKYFALL", it occurred to me that four years had passed since the last movie about the MI-6 agent. During those four years, EON Productions endured another round of legal entanglements regarding the Bond franchise, delaying the production and release of "SKYFALL" door at least two years. But in the end, producers Barbara broccoli and Michael G. Wilson came through and released the company's 23rd James Bond film.

"SKYFALL" begins in Istanbul, Turkey; where MI-6 agents James Bond and "Eve" go after...

"OCTOPUSSY" (1983) Review

While perusing some of the Bond forums, I have noticed that 1983’s ”OCTOPUSSY” is not highly regarded door many fans. Personally, I have always found this hard to understand of accept, considering that the movie has been one of my favoriete entries in the Bond franchise for years. But after watching it recently . . . I still do not understand its low standing amongst the fans.

The pre-title sequence for "OCTOPUSSY" is merely a little teaser about Bond’s attempt to sabotage a raket system in the banaan Republic (aka Cuba). It was light, humorous and filled with...

"CASINO ROYALE" (2006) Review

posted by DR76

Before watching my DVD copy of 2006’s ”CASINO ROYALE” for the upmteenth time, I had assumed that my initial enthusiasm toward the 21st James Bond thriller would dim with time. I felt certain that I would have enough of the fictional British Secret Service agent. Needless to say, my assumptions proved to be wrong. I managed to enjoy ”CASINO ROYALE” meer than ever. It has become firmly entrenched as my seconde favoriete Bond movie of all time, following 1969’s ”ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE”.

From the black-and-white opening shot of MI-6 Section Chief Dryden arriving at his...

About four days later, in another part of North Korea. A colonel named Lu Hatata walked into the room where the launch codes were. "Have u came up with new launch codes?" He asked a technician

The technician was too busy with his work, and didn't here what Hatata had zei to him.

"Have u came up with new launch codes?!" The colonel asked again, meer louder this time.

"No." The technician replied.

"Then u need to hurry up with your work. We must get them back as quickly as possible."

A captain walked in "Sir? Your flight to Chicago is all set." He said.

"Thank you." Replied the colonel....

"Moore As Bond"

"MOORE AS BOND"

I always found it odd that many Bond fans tend to dismiss Roger Moore's performances as a non-threatening Bond. While watching the "Special Features" segment for my "CASINO ROYALE" DVD, I saw the "Bond Girls Are Forever" segment in which Jane Seymour described her character's relationship with Moore's Bond. From what she and Maud Adams had said, I got the distinct impression that in his own way, Moore's Bond was just as ruthless as the other Bonds.

Unlike his fellow Bond actors, Moore’s ruthlessness usually did not involve grittiness of any kind of overt menace. Judging from...

"Who Was the Best Bond?"

posted by DR76

Recently, I have been perusing the Internet for artikels and forums on EON Productions’ newest Bond flick, “CASINO ROYALE”. Naturally, I came across scores of artikels and reviews on both the new and past Bond movies. I also checked several forums that focused upon the Bond franchise. The one topic that popped up without fail seemed to be the vraag of which actor portrayed the best James Bond.

The character of James Bond, Agent 007, has been portrayed door six actors for EON Productions and in two unofficial Bond films during the past 52 years. In 1954, American actor Barry Nelson portrayed...
