Bond got to Q's lab where he saw the Jaguar F type being fitted with gadgets.

"What do आप have planned now?" Bond asked Q.

"While your new Jaguar is being fitted with gadgets, I have chosen another car for your assignment." Q responded.

"And that is?" Bond asked.

Q pulled a tarp off of another car revealing a brand new Camaro. "What do आप think?"

"You couldn't have gotten me an Aston Martin?" Bond asked a little disappointed.

"I'd be और then welcome to get आप a Citroen." कहा Q.

This made Bond cross. He remembered having to drive a Citroen 2CV one time, and that was not a good time. "Proceed."...

"THE SPY WHO LOVED ME" (1977) Review

"THE SPY WHO LOVED ME" became EON Productions 10th entry in the Bond franchise in 1977. It also marked Sir Roger Moore’s third turn as British agent, James Bond, Cubby Broccoli’s as sole producer for the first time and Lewis Gilbert’s सेकंड time at bat as director of a Bond film. This is the movie that introduced the catchphrase, “Nobody does it better,” and according to many critics and fans, saved the Bond franchise back in the 1970s. Watching "THE SPY WHO प्यार ME", I can understand why many would harbor this belief.

Many critics and प्रशंसकों tend...

"YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" (1967) Review

In हाल का years, EON Production’s 1967 movie, "YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE" has not been highly regarded द्वारा many Bond fans. In a way, I can understand why, judging द्वारा 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 अंतरिक्ष capsule in अंतरिक्ष द्वारा 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...

TIMOTHY DALTON AND THE JAMES BOND FRANCHISE

I am going to start out saying that EON Productions have been lucky in choosing the six actors who managed to bring their own sense of style to the role of James Bond . . . and I mean all of them. And all were smart enough to portray Bond in a way that suited them, instead of adhering to what the public या the producers wanted them to play Bond.

That said, I want to say a few things about Timothy Dalton. Even though I was a major प्रशंसक of Roger Moore, I realized द्वारा the mid-80s that it was time for him to retire from the role. With great fondness, I said...

”GOLDENEYE” (1995) Review

What can I say about 1995’s ”GOLDENEYE”? For one, it marked a series of firsts for the Bond franchise. The movie happened to be Pierce Brosnan’s first outing as James Bond. ”GOLDENEYE” turned out to be Dame Judi Dench’s first time portraying Bond’s MI-6 boss, “M”. And the movie also proved to be a first Bond film for director Martin Campbell, who will return eleven years later to direct 2006’s ”CASINO ROYALE”.

After 1989’s ”LICENSE TO KILL”, I found myself frustrated द्वारा talk that it was time for EON Productions to give up on Timothy...

"LIVE AND LET DIE" (1973) Review

Between 1967 and 1972, EON Productions spent a chaotic five years trying to find one man to portray James Bond following Sean Connery’s decision to retire from the role. Nineteen sixty-eight found Australian model, George Lazenby in the role. But after one movie, the excellent "ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE", Lazenby decided that he did not want to continue the role. Connery came back for one last movie - "DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER", but did not bother to stick around.

Then in 1972, ब्रोकोली and Saltzman hired Roger Moore (famous for the TV series, "THE SAINT"...

"DR. NO" (1962) Review

his 1962 movie marked the cinematic debut of the Bond franchise, created द्वारा Cubby ब्रोकोली 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 प्रशंसकों consider film as one of the और 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 द्वारा a trio of assassins in Jamaica. Bond is ordered द्वारा his superior, M, to investigate the agent’s death and eventually stumbles upon a...

"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...

"A VIEW TO A KILL" (1985) Review

The साल 1985 marked a milestone in the history of the Bond franchise. This was the साल in which EON Productions released their latest Bond film, "A VIEW TO A KILL". The movie would turn out to be Roger Moore's last turn as the British agent, James Bond. With this movie, Moore would become the only actor who has portrayed Bond for EON Productions और than any other - seven times. Sean Connery would also portray Bond seven times, but his last effort would not be for EON Productions.

But this review is not about Moore's tenure as James Bond. It is about his last...

"DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER" (1971) Review

I might as well be frank. After my हाल का viewing of "DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER", I have come to the conclusion that it just might truly be the worst James Bond movie ever released द्वारा EON Productions. I certainly view it as an unworthy follow-up to the superb "ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE". Yet, despite my low opinion of the movie, I also found it to be very funny.

The movie’s pre-credits started the movie out with a montage featuring Bond’s खोजिए for Ernst Stravos Blofeld, head of SPECTRE and the man responsible for the brutal murder of the agent’s...

"FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE" (1963) Review

Have आप ever heard the song, ”What a Difference a दिन Makes”? Well, the phrase - ”What a difference, a साल makes” kept going through my head, while viewing 1963’s ”FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE”. It seemed such a difference from the very inferior ”DR. NO” (and would prove to be quite a difference in my eyes to 1964’s ”GOLDFINGER”).

Not only do I consider ”FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE” to be one of the finest Bond films in the franchise, I also view it as Connery’s best. In fact, as with 1965’s ”THUNDERBALL”, his अभिनय was superb in...

"THUNDERBALL" (1965) Review

I had just viewed the 1965 Bond movie, "THUNDERBALL" for the first time in several years. And I can see why this movie is considered to be one of my all time प्रिय Bond flicks. But I do not think I can state why in one या two sentences.

“THUNDERBALL” turned out to be director Terence Young’s third and last Bond film. Most Bond प्रशंसकों consider it to be his least superior film, but I consider it to be his सेकंड best, following 1963’s “FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE”. The story was based upon an unfinished script called “Warhead”, co-written द्वारा Ian Fleming,...

"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 द्वारा many Bond प्रशंसकों as the franchise's definitive film, considering that it और या less created what is known as "the Bond formula".

The 1959 Ian Fleming novel, upon which the movie is based, is also highly regarded द्वारा 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...

Below is a review I had written of the 1981 James Bond movie, "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY":


"FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" (1981) Review

If James Bond प्रशंसकों and critics had judged all of EON Productions’ 1981 movie, "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" solely on its pre-credit sequence, the movie probably would have barely made a dime at the box office. Worse, it would have been regarded as the worst movie in the entire Bond franchise. Thankfully, the rest of the movie proved to be far superior to its atrocious opening sequence.

"FOR YOUR EYES ONLY" marked the directorial debut of John Glen, previously an assistant director...

"THE PARADOX OF JINX JOHNSON"

When I had first पोस्टेड टिप्पणियाँ about the 2002 James Bond movie "DIE ANOTHER DAY" on message boards and forums, I found myself face to face with a surprise. Apparently, many प्रशंसकों found Halle Berry’s performance as NSA Agent Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson unsatisfactory. And after perusing और of the James Bond message boards, I also learned that Berry is regarded द्वारा many Bond प्रशंसकों as ”the worst Bond girl” in the franchise’s history.

After recovering from this shocker, I began to read some of the reasons why Berry is now so reviled द्वारा the Bond fandom. Quite...

"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" द्वारा at least two years. But in the end, producers Barbara ब्रोकोली 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...

I just recently watched Pierce Brosnan’s सेकंड outing as James Bond in this 1997 movie that co-stars Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Pryce and Teri Hatcher.


"TOMORROW NEVER DIES" (1997) Review

I wish I could say that my opinion of the movie has improved over the years . . . but I would be lying. Mind you, "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" did have some highlights, but unfortunately, it possessed और negative traits than positive ones. I think it would be best if I सूची both the good and the bad about this movie:


Positive

*Michelle Yeoh

*Bond’s romantic scene with Danish linguist was rather sexy

*Foreign locations...

"THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH" (1999) Review


I must admit that when I first saw "THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH" in the theaters a little over seven years ago, I was not impressed. Well, to be honest, I did not like the movie at all. But after my हाल का viewing, I could not help but wonder if I had allowed my mild dislike of the पूर्व Bond entry, "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" to spill over in my view of the Bond franchise’s 19th entry.

Although the movie’s शीर्षक comes from the Bond family’s motto, first revealed in the 1969 movie, "ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE", its story started with the murder of...

"OCTOPUSSY" (1983) Review

While perusing some of the Bond forums, I have noticed that 1983’s ”OCTOPUSSY” is not highly regarded द्वारा many fans. Personally, I have always found this hard to understand या accept, considering that the movie has been one of my प्रिय 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 मिसाइल system in the केला, केले Republic (aka Cuba). It was light, humorous and filled with...
