r/JamesBond

Which quotes from the motion pictures or novels do you quote in everyday life? Or which ones are always stuck in your head?

**This is a continuation of my watch series!

am in my thirties and grew up on Brosnan Bond and loved it, associate him as "my" Bond. However I know I need to watch them all. I tried Dr. No probably ten years ago and was held up by the campy scenes. Well I have decided I need to try again. So I figure if people do not mind I'll post a little blurb each time I complete one. So...

So based on the general consensus I see from posts on here I was really excited to get to this one as it seems loved. So I straight up gated this movie. I don't like this guy as Bond, the Bond girl sucked, he marries her which I mean I guess is fine but like why? Blofeld seemed like a wuss and didn't have the more commanding feel I got from the previous movies. This felt like a No Time to Die kind of ending which is to say sucked. The setting was bland, movie was long and had pacing problems, the stakes of the chemical warfare felt really to be a nothing burger to the powers that be. This Bond to be frank seemed like kind of a doucher. I will say the bobsled sequence was cool. Locking Bond in the lift mechanical room makes no sense at all. This one just didn't land at all for me. I am hoping what's next is better and it looks like Connery is back in this one, looked into this Bond actors lineage and it basically looks like he got the roll because he was at the right place at the right time which may have been a hasty cast. I did like the mountain top base that felt very N64 game map to me haha.

I think I'll start ranking the movies as I go too just for posterity sake, so as of now I think it goes like this for me:

GoldenEye>Skyfall>You Only Live Twice>Tomorrow Never Dies>Goldfinger>Thunderball>Casino Royale>World is not Enough>From Russia with Love>Die Another Day>Dr No.>OHMSS

Note* I have seen all Bond movies post GoldenEye alrea to be very blunt there's a lot of straight garbage in the newer movies, I am watching them all in order so eventually I'll get to the newer ones again and they will show up in the rankings more prominently(not likely any higher though

Watched You Only Live Twice today, I really loved this one, it felt like the more modern bonds with locked in flow, sensible plot, strong villain who we finally get to meet as Blofeld which helps strengthen the newer ones with the Christoph Waltz Blofeld. Tropes from other spoof movies of Bond came through strong here and the setting was awesome, I mean a lair in a volcano that's freaking perfect. I think this one is probably the best in the early flow and Sean Connery is just awesome as Bond. The space topic on this one was so cool too knowing it's prior to historical events like the moon landing makes the subject really cool especially if you put yourself in the shoes of someone watching this back in that time period.

I’ve been trying to make a playlist of all the unused Bond themes recently but can’t seem to find how many songs there are, also some pages have some that others don’t. Does anyone have a playlist or anything that can help?

Hey everyone, Just finished the game. I never write reviews or publicly praise cultural content, but I wanted to be vocal about the love and care I could feel IO Interactive as has put into the game. Here are the strongest points of the game, in my opinion :

• Exceptional writing: the dialogues, punchlines and overall vocals in this game are S-tier level. I can only think of Rockstar games and RDR2 that offered such a depth of characters and quality dialogues. The story was captivating.
• James Bond: great angle on his youth, superb acting from however voiced him. I'd love to see a movie based-off or following this game. And I really felt like playing a game made from the fans to the fans.
• Level-design: some levels were incredible to explore. I particularly enjoyed Slovakia, Vietnam and, was it Senegal? The creativity and uniqueness of those places, I felt like traveling from my sofa.
• Graphics and sound-design hugely improved the game.
• Fun gun fight, I loved that the ammo is limited so you have to think creatively and aren't encourage to just rush through.

The game isn't perfect neither:

• The indoors missions felt sometime a bit repetitive and fell a bit flat, especially the one in the Webb buildings - mostly the high-tower one.
• For an origin story, I would have loved to learn a bit more about James Bond's history, why he is how he is. But when making a game with a character of such magnitude, I imagine the studio had to be quite conversative.

In short, I just wanted to thank IO ineractive for giving me such a solid entertainment. I will be speaking highly of this game for years to come, and this one ranks in my best video game experiences ever alongside RDR2, Skyrim and The Witcher 3.
And by the way, I loved having a narrow-path to follow. Please don't succomb to open worlds, I enjoy much more a tunnel-game well crafted than an open world. As a grown up with responsabilities; I don't want to make 100 decisions of where to go when relaxing in front of game.

Much love.
