LD Talkback #182

The highest grossing Bond of all time (after inflation), this one's a bit cheesy and goofy.

It's also incredibly sexist, which kills its enjoyment value.

Although the scuba action scene certainly doesn't rank among the best Bond moments to begin with,

Never much cared for this one, but I haven't seen it in at least 10 years.

And that's why I didn't like this movie. :P

Well, to be honest I actually haven't seen this one, but one thing I will say is that I think that movie poster looks fucking kick-ass, personally. I wish they still made epic promo posters like that.
