    Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!

    The Russians killed as the bridge is destroyed... it feels like a war film. I prefer Bond when enemy forces aren't troops, but SPECTRE-type mercenaries; independents, rather than 'nation state'.
    Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

    will this suffice for now?

    What are you talking about?! That’s some fine acting right there.

    I like the score. It's distinctive.

    Blimey. I’m with Higgins. You lot have lost the plot. :o

    I thought you two never agreed!!!

    We don’t. Ever. But we are right on this. Dalton is a bit rubbish and weepy.

    'Final Confrontation': John Barry's last ever Bond action cue. Now it's me who's blubbing!

    Whitaker didnt have that gold chest insignia (looks like US Navy) earlier.

    Granted, I had to miss about an hour of this due to work and could only scroll along to see your comments, but this has gone down in my standings.

    You’re lucky. Ive nearly watched the whole thing.

    I find it somehow ironic that John Barry, who was not an actor but could conduct an orchestra, is guiding Maryam d’Abo, who was an actress but could not play a cello.

    Edit- convincingly

    Edit- Tschaikovsky

    Yep, cello would certainly not sound like that with a bullet hole in it...

    Would be hilarious if Kara wolf whistled there...

    I've always enjoyed TLD, but the scenes in Whitaker's house should've been changed to make him a more convincing villan.

    With pleasure, Higgins, with pleasure.

    'If There Was A Man' is a bit TOO 'easy listening' imho.

    Well, I hate to admit it but watching this film with you guys has made Dalton come down in my estimation. He had the looks, he had the chops- but he did not have the charisma required for a truly successful Bond.
    "Charisma" is hard to define- Connery had it, Moore had it, Brosnan had it (still has, just) but Dalton didn't.

    Actually, it wouldn’t make that much difference where it’s placed on that cello I had this argument with my ex, who now plays with Hans Zimmers orchestra on violin. She educated me. It all has to do with a little stick inside the body. And other stuff I got bored listening about.

    It actually works better in the instrumental score
