The soundtrack is pretty great too, although it stumbles at the beginning by using Cat People, which Tarantino owns forever, and Under Pressure, which is in everything. Come on, if you're going to use Bowie in a movie set in Berlin there's choice stuff from Low and Heroes. Eh, I liked Kingsman more than Atomic Blonde, so that's my choice for best Bond film in a decade. The recent Bond movies themselves have been good and Craig was a good choice for Bond, but I kinda miss the over-the-top wackiness of the older films. I'm not sure they were great films, but the Brosnan Bond films were so absurd that they were fun. Re-watched most of Kingsman again today - it was on FX - and it was a lotta fun after the snoozefest that was GitS. I'm kinda amused that some of the more over-the-top elements were not the brainchild of Mark Millar. Never read the comic series, but it sounds like stuff like the double amputee henchwoman (who walked on razor sharp blades instead of standard prostheses) were inventions of the movie. Still amazed how bloody that scene in the redneck church is. Jesus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't vouch for the rest of the Brosnan Bonds Apart from a few elements, like Sophie Marceau, the other three Brosnans are pretty weak. TND is mediocre, then TWINE is bad, then DAD is abysmal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(BP) 4,407 Posted July 31, 2017 Bronsnan's are weird because he's playing Connery notes but the movies are much closer to Moore's in retrospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spritenaut 32 4,589 Posted July 31, 2017 I'm still amused that they bothered to license Wanted.... then changed virtually everything about the comic except a couple of the names. Not that I'm sorry. Wanted the Movie dully inoffensive, imo. Wanted the Comic was repugnant and mostly awful (again, my opinion). The world probably isn't ready for mentally challenged Superman and Clayface made of excrement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spritenaut 32 4,589 Posted August 1, 2017 I'm to the point I just don't want to read a Millar book. He's written a number of things I really like - and a lot more that I really despised. I rarely find the middle ground with Millar projects. Anymore, I just assume that "crap" is far more likely than "art" from him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
