I'm surprised there are not more message board comments


Although I liked the first film alright, the second and third are quite a bit better, in my opinion. The first is awkwardly constructed at times and often slim on action, although not a bad film otherwise.

That could be, but "realistic" is definitely not a property I care about with films.

It's your two cents, but I do not agree with any of it. Keep your two cents as a tip.

Much of SBS's music score is a ripoff of the Ike Hayes score from SHAFT. Gordon Parks was not the right composer for this type of film. The "funky" lyrics seem like parodies. And why would Joseph Mascolo appear in a movie where the character's name is Mascolo? But I do enjoy the copter-speedboat-sportscar finale.

Depends which Bond(s) u mean.
Anyway that chopper chase reminds us of the one in FRWL & going into the warehouse FYEO & how many boat things has 007 done?
