    Not sure I'd put Dalton's offerings in the bad pile - I find them more watchable now than ever before - but each to their own. I think DAD had great scenes like in Hong Kong, Cuba, the Tower Bridge/ underground relics, fencing as mentioned and a few good lines as well... Shame about the last third... :#

    Spot on tsa....

    Can't say I really hate any bonds, but twine is my least fav..

    TWINE - the BMW Z8, qboat, and of course, Christmas (purple) wrapping in the caviar scene :p

    There's plenty to like about TWINE for sure - Bilbao/swiss banker scene, Q-boat chase etc - but the film doesn't really flow. If it's ever on tv I watch it, then find myself emptying the dishwasher or checking emails before it's finished...

    AVTAK - John Barry's score. THAT'S IT!

    TND - Dr Kaufman scene imo.

    DAD - the walk thru the cigar factory, pure Fleming. Liked the surf opener too.

    CR - Woody Allen faces the firing squad. "So long, suckers!" and the payoff.

    QoS - the pre-credits car chase.

    Really ?

    That fight STINKS ! It's one of the worst things in a pretty poor Bond movie....it's badly choreographed and doesn't convince in the slightest....it's bad, bad, bad X-(

    I'm not rather keen on it at all :))

    I liked the fencing, thought it was entertaining.

    I enjoyed the fencing in DAD too. ( Much better then the fences used in Moonraker ) :))

    Fencing spoilt by Brosnan's tubby build, he looked like a white teddy bear in that get-up. Also silly and implausible, trashing the Reform Club for the hell of it, no repercussions, like something out of Mary Poppins. Jeez, what a dumb movie. There's even a moment in it where Brosnan appears to waddle... :o

    It's almost as annoying as choosing some eyeglasses for men....

    I'd be remiss if I didn't include QOS on my list of a "bad" Bond film. Perhaps it's the worst of the lot considering the raw materials they were given to make the film (Craig, budget, etc.....)
    My list of good things in QOS:
    Olga Kurylenko (one of my fav Bond Girls)
    Daniel Craig's performance and wardrobe
    Knife fight
    South American scenes (good chemistry w/ Felix)
