The only thing I originally didn't like about TWINE, was how I
Thought they were pushing Q out and John Cleese in. Later
I learnt that it was Desmond who wanted less of a work load
So I was then OK with that. I was fine with the rest of the film
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
The biggest damp squib of a climax since the oil rig shenanigans of DAF. Apted even admits on the DVD commentary that he had to reshoot parts of it because the preview audience didn't know what was going on.

so what? I like it!
"You see Mr.Bond, you can't kill my dreams...but my dreams can kill you.Time to face destiny" - "Time to face gravity"
TWINE is not just an eh film! It starts off with one of the greatest PTS sequences in Bond history followed by a good song IMO. Then follow some cool action scenes (ski, caviar)and in the end we get a cool finale in the sub. Whilst there are some great quotes worth mentioning: "I never miss" and "She's waiting for you".
So en resumé TWINE is a Bond movie that goes down easily and smoothly and is simply great.
And I don't really know what's peoples issue with the so-called flat dialogue? Maybe besides the Christmas pun right in the end I can't think of anything where I was like"OMG what did he say?total crap this film!" and I don't get why everybody is CONSTANTLY bullying Denise Richards?! She played the part well enough. If you want believability maybe the main Bond girl then should have been the guy who played Dr.Arkov
You make some good points.
TWINE started at a respectable 13 in my rankings (soon after CR was released) and has slowly declined in rankings mostly based on Bond forum Brosnan bashing, and my memory of it as a visual bore (as I mentioned on the previous page).
I haven't watched a Bond movie from start to finish in one session, without distractions, for a long time (I mostly watch bits and pieces of each film rather than the whole product).
I find that a start to finish changes my thoughts on the films. And to forget forum opinions - too much Brosnan bashing makes me depressed (this forum I've found is much more civilised).

Thank you, Bondage007
yes, there seems to be a lot of Brosnan-bashing lately which I find highly disrespectful X-(

"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
TWINE is the strangest film for me- I never like it the same way twice. There have been times I absolutely adore it, and times it's left me a bit cold. I never know until I watch it which way it'll go for me. And honestly, that's kind of interesting to me...
No one has ever seen my full list, It's absolutely tip top secret.
...me too. It just doesn't work for me- yesterday I watched DAD, two days ago TB. No rhyme or reason, just as I fancy (though I did put DAD on to check the scene with the previous Bond girls behind M, I ended up watching the whole thing and thoroughly enjoying it).
The first three, never really change ( Infact OHMSS AND CR are neck and neck ) the others
can change but FRWL is so good but really it's like trying to pick which one of your kids
is your favourite. )

{[] this is exactly how I find TWINE!! Hence one of the many reasons as to why it's at the top of my list - intrigue.
I've got respect for Bond stringing that idiot Christmas Jones along. She is so goddam sexy, why wouldn't you want to just have her tow along and have Christmas twice in one year
I feel that TWINE is just "meh", I have a few reasons...
I really enjoyed the PTS, but then for me it just goes a bit downhill and I lose interest. The locations in TWINE don't really do much for me, and I also think the villains are paper-thin and a bit forgettable.
Robert Carlyle is annoying, and Denise Richards (whilst looking nice) just does not come across convincingly as a nuclear scientist (or whatever she is supposed to be).
Brozzer seems a bit on autopilot, and John Cleese just gets on my tits every time I see him in a Bond film (Luckily he was only in two, and two that I don't watch very often).

I think Brozzer puts in an excellent effort, I don't agree that he's on autopilot - he is in GE. Not this. His acting with Judi Dench is bang-on, as some have suggested in this thread - regarding how much respect he still has for M, despite M not being exactly professional.
I have never like R, but I do enjoy that Q is able to take the piss out of him in TWINE. I HATE HIM IN DAD.

I probably wouldn't say on full auto pilot, but he just does not seem to be giving it as much as the first two (for me anyway).
Can anyone make a serious claim that they clearly understood the plot of the first hour of this one?
Bond is fooled by Elektra, so I like that we are too.
I'm thinking of the first 30 minutes or so. The exposition is awful. There's something about retrieving money but then it turns into something about a stolen report and then there's also a kidnapping and ransom. All the same details presented through competent scripting and direction could have easily drawn the viewer in to the story.

Most of TWINE is a mess but at least you don't have a TND plot where they make it up on the spot..

"Greatness From Small Beginnings."
What's really interesting is that the Q "farewell" in TWINE was probably not supposed to carry as much meaning as it did.

No, not until I thought about it.
