Connery was cool but I do wonder at his judgement - Never Say Never Again is unforgivable crap that he went along with (although let's be clear here - I'd happily make a crap film if the money was right) compared to the oft-derided A View to a Kill which at least delivers entertainment in spades - one big sequence after another with the melding of Moore, Macnee, Walken and Grace Jones - it's deranged!
The hard hard action of OHMSS is quite something though - Lazenby is no actor but he's hard as nails in the action and it's one creepy story.
The shame now is you can't look forward to a Bond film. Apart from Casino Royale the last good one was Goldeneye and the last film was so staggeringly awful I'd rather re-watch the MFI-funded Never Say Never Again... hence the title  |
I can't agree with that last part. Quantum isn't the greatest although it's a lot better to watch it straight after Casino. Still, it's a damn sight better than the whole of Moore's output!
A View To A Kill is often derided for a reason. It's utter crap.
