Never Say Never Again was made by a different production company and released at the same time as Octopussy.I personally think that Goldfinger is the best so far. I'm on A View To A Kill, right now.

darasen 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 Do your self a favor as well and read all the james Bond books by Ian Flemming. They are rather entertaining though they have to be read with the fact in mind that they are very much a product of their time. "Live and Let Die" and "For YOur Eyes Only" are the best of the Roger Moore films. for some reason they tend to look outdated even more so than the Sean Connery films to me. Of course by the Roger Moore films they had also pretty much given up on making the movies book adaptations. "Living Daylights" and "License to Kill" are, to me, forgettable. Timothy Dalton tried to be a tougher bond with bad scripts and not very much charisma. Those two films nearly killed the franchise. Pierce Brosnan was a great choice to play Bond. Goldeneye remains one of my favorite Bond films. Brosnan was every bit as good looking as Moore and able to pull off the smooth and charming Bond. He was also able to convincingly portray the tougher side of Bond as well. Goldeneye even had a bit of meat to the script with Bonds uneasy relationship to the new M, the Cold War being over, and just plain getting a bit older. My only wish was they would have stuck with that direction. "Die another Day" was just plain awful. The Bond movies have now recovered rather well. Daniel Craig is easily the closest to being James Bond as presented in the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arv_M 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2008 I agree with you that Live and Let Die was the best Roger Moore film. I also liked Man With A Golden Gun, it was cheesy, but I think Scaramanga was a cool villain.I really wish the changing directors would atleast TRY to keep some consistency with the characters. I mean, look at Blofeld. He goes from a bald guy with a scar, to a bald guy with no ears, to some old guy with white hair and then in Never Say Never, he has a beard.And Felix Leiter, Bond's friend in the CIA. His age seems to go up and down so much, it'd make your head spin and then he suddenly becomes black.Also, I do plan on reading the books, when I get the time.
