Agreed, 2 was re-hash of 1. I remember it being quite funny though. Hurley was fit, and i remember allotta vagina was fit too with massive knockers. I hated goldmember, for some reason Beyonce totally did my head in so i couldn't enjoy it at all.
I think most of the bond actors bought their own style and interpretation to the role. They could never have sustained this many movies if everyone played it the same. I personally have liked all of the actors in different ways. Lazenbe (sic?) only got the one movie of course but it is one of the better ones so he even comes out ok. Dalton had poor to average movie's to work with, likewise Brosnan. Goldeneye is great but the others are pretty ropey for the most part. Die Another Day actually has one of the best opening scenes for a Bond movie and then goes absolutely crazy and sci fi. It could have killed the franchise had they not gone all 'Bourne' with Craig. Connery, Moore and Craig are the only ones who had a few decent movies to work with each. Moore difinentely went on at least one too many though. View to a kill is shocking for that. He's about 65 and looks it!
If you're basing a film on a book maybe try and give the main character a semblance of the author's vision, I dunno?? Fleming wanted Cary Grant to play Bond but he was too expensive. The Bond books btw are some of the best selling series of fictional books of all time.
I think you're taking it far too seriously Ok I'll put it another way, subsequent films that were better than the first. In which case I stand by all 3 picks. Don't get me wrong, I actually think Dr No is a great film. Bond is far more ruthless and cold hearted in that film than any other up to Casino Royale, but Goldfinger was the one that really put the Bond genre on the map and is iconic. Already explained my reason for putting The Gd the bd the ugly above Fistful. And Silence of Lambs is better than the original Manhunter.
Don't think you read the thread title is all as you just picked films you liked Silence of The Lambs isn't a sequel to Manhunter btw - both great films though
I grew up with Roger Moore as James Bond, but looking back those films in the late 70's and 80's were quite kitsch, with a lot of slapstick gags. I loved them at the time, but they are pretty cheesy watching them back now. Connery is the best Bond in my opinion, but Daniel Craig is the best one since.
Nope I think the OP used the term sequel but was happy to include any subsequent films in a series. You're just being pedantic and not really adding anything of value to the thread. I never said Silence of the Lambs was a sequel. But once again, the better subsequent film. Instead of splitting hairs over other people's choices why not give your own and contribute?
Had high hopes for Brosnan when I saw Goldeneye but I really think he was let down by the scripts and the characterisation after that. He could easily have done the Daniel Craig films well imo.
The good the bad and the ugly is not a prequel or sequel, it's completely separate film with the same crew and a few of the same actors, namely Eastwood and van Cleef, who's the bad guy and dies in, so it can't be a prequel.
I couldnt give a **** tbh. Fistful of Dollars was followed by A Few Dollars More which was followed by The Gd The Bd The Ugly. To me that's enough to give an opinion on which I thought was better. Disagree with me on which is better, by all means. I'd be far more interested in people's opinion on that, than arguing what constitutes a sequel or a prequel tbh.
I thought Police Academy IV was a terrible sequel to Beverly Hills Cop. I know it's not strictly a sequel but it's about the Police so it counts
so sequels now means any film that was filmed in roughly the same place with a few similar actors playing different characters? as a preference, I do prefer the actual sequel, For a few dollars more. There are 2 kinds of people in this world my friend, those who know what a sequel is, and those who don't
It can and has been considered a prequel. At the end of the film Eastwood acquires the famous poncho he wears in the other two films in the trilogy
