Spectre-tating these dumb spy movies and ranking t (24 movies items)

"Very happy to report that John Glen concludes his run of Bond films on a relative high note here. 007's got some 'tude here as the story has him on a personal vendetta this time around which lends itself well to Dalton's take on the character and gives us some surprisingly vicious scenes. It goes pretty close to full-tilt for like the first hour and even once it slows a bit its still has solid characters to lean on for the eventual exposition scenes. Pleasantly surprised how rad this one turned "

"19.8. Daltonin toinen Bond on puhdasveristÀ kasariÀksöniÀ, jossa nÀhdÀÀn muuta leffasarjaa rankasti rajumpaa vÀkivaltaa. TÀllaisena esitys olisikin ihan mukiinmenevÀ tapaus, mutta Bond-elementit ravistetuista drinksuista kaiken vastaantulevan sÀnkyyn kaatamiseen tuovat aivan liikaa tylsÀÀ kelvollisen toiminnan vÀliin. Suurimmat ilonkiljahdusten aiheet löytyvÀt pienessÀ roolissa nÀhtÀvÀstÀ Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawasta. Todella toivon, ettÀ se GoldenEye on nyt kaiken tÀmÀn vai"

" This was once my favorite movie, and I still think it's one of the best Bond films ever. It's one of the Bond films closest to an Ian Fleming novel, at least ones that I have read. It also was, and still is, the darkest, bloodiest Bond movie ever made. It was made in the days when big filmmakers had big balls. A ballsy Bond movie wasn't made again until Casino Royale in 2006.

"13.10 (uusintakatselu) Joskus haukuin tĂ€tĂ€ yhdeksi huonoimmista Bondeista ja nĂ€in jĂ€lkeenpĂ€in ajateltuna olin vĂ€hĂ€n turhan ankara tĂ€lle. Ei tĂ€mĂ€kÀÀn kovin hyvĂ€ ole, saati sieltĂ€ paremmasta pÀÀstĂ€, mutta huomattavasti parempi kuin esimerkiksi Brosnanin viimeinen. Living Daylights tasapainotteli mielestĂ€ni vakavuuden ja kieli poskessa -huumorin vĂ€lillĂ€ sopivasti, tĂ€mĂ€ taas on liian vakava ja ryppyotsainen. Bond ei ole tĂ€llĂ€ ole suorittamassa mitÀÀn varsinaista tehtĂ€vĂ€Ă"

"Timothy Dalton's last outing as Bond is an underrated gem. As an old friend is left for dead by an evil drug baron, Bond is stripped of his licence to kill and goes it alone to seek revenge, finding himself needing help from unlikely sources. This a Bond beyond its time which is why they decided to move on from Dalton, although this would have been a perfect film in the Daniel Craig years. The set pieces and stuntwork is, as usual, top-notch and Gladys Knight's theme song is one of the best."
