It's an awesome fucking set indeed. Do you agree with Erik that (LOL) License To Kill is (LOL) the best Bond film? And that (LOL) Goldfinger is (LOL) the worst?  The only one I've seen is die another day |

I like most of the bond flicks. License to Kill is easily a weaker entry

That is one hell of a price for 23 movies and bonus discs!

That is a real good price, I paid a hell of a lot more for that last year, and the SKyfall disk was not included

Get it right - I never said that Goldfinger was the worst, just ONE of the weakest in the series.  (There is a difference, albeit a subtle one...) I mean, what does Bond get right in Goldfinger? He gets captured, escapes, and gets captured again! He doesn't save the day (Pussy Galore and an unnamed CIA nuke specialist save the day), and Bond is pretty much a spectator for the last half of the movie. The two great scenes in the movie are the phenomenal, "You expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die," scene and the golf game between Bond and Goldfinger. I mean, when one of the two highlights of the movie is a freaking golf game you know that Bond movie is in trouble! Yes, it's got the Aston Martin, and yes, it's got Oddjob, but so what? The movie is still really blah. Bad pacing, bad settings, bad scenery, mediocre photography, miscasting (Cec Linder was a decent, likeable actor, but he was 10 years too old to play Felix Leiter, and his personality was all wrong, too, to be Bond's close friend), Bond fails to save not one, but TWO of the Bond Girls - the list of things that are wrong with the movie is nearly endless! The director, Guy Hamilton, was pretty much a hack. An affable, intelligent, well meaning hack, but a hack nonetheless. Look at his filmography. Battle Of Britain may have been his best movie. I will never understand the love some people have for Goldfinger. Aside from it's iconic bits (Aston Martin, Oddjob, I expect you to die) there just isn't a whole lot there worth watching. |

Got the set last night, watching Dr. No today, going to try to watch one a week and get through all of them (maybe grab Never Say Never Again as well)

(maybe grab Never Say Never Again as well) It's as big a piece of shit as you remember. Don't do it. Shame, Connery returns to Bond and the best they can come up with is a truly terrible remake of his (IMO) best Bond flick. I doubt I have seen it since it came out on VHS (also saw it in the theater) ... But I figured if I am going to watch View to a Kill and the crap Brosnan movies, I might as well watch them all |
