Here's a person that compares TWINE to Moonraker. :eek:

TWINE opens with a terribly overproduced action sequence of a boat chase that goes on and on and on. It`s not thrilling, it`s not clever, but most of all it`s not entertaining in the slightest. I want to tell the producers of the Bond franchise that big does not always equal good. A gritty adventure like DR NO, or a film that makes Bond more vulnerable like GOLDFINGER or an attempt at character development like LICENCE TO KILL or GOLDENEYE make far better Bond films than a stunt fest like MOONRAKER.

I wonder what he thought of DAD. Here's a review for GoldenEye that I can't begin to describe:

Ok, let's settle a couple of things right up front. Tim Dalton blew donkeys as 007. Connery and the earlier Moore were the best. No further discussion necessary. While Brosnan looks the part, his deliveries as Bond are all variations of plywood. Plot, jeesh, what are you people thinking? We don't need no stinkin plot! This is a product placement Bond film. All we need is a bunch of over-the-top action scenes, a couple of cool spy toys, reasonably witty double entendre dialogue stuffed with sexual innuendo, and a couple of hot Bondchix to complete the multi-variate commercial. Goldeneye gives us that, so it gets a full score of 6/10. Not 10/10.....not 2/10. These are decent video rentals, that's all. U don't even need to rent, they get shown so often on tv. Scorupco is a flat-out babe, Famke is hot also. Done.

And one for OHMSS:

in my opinion if sean connery had played james bond this movie would have been one of the greatest bond movies of all times. u have a skilled actorist beside sean connery it might of even won some awards. still it was a nice movie but could of been better with sean connery. but only what

All I have to say is..."actorist"? The trailing off sentence is a nice touch as well. Add on, everyone!

Hmmm.... Where did you find these, Truman-Lodge?

I don't know where you stand on THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN, but I just posted my own glowing review which one might be justified in calling "gushing". Hope you won't judge it too harshly.

IMDb seems to have a lot of **** in their user reviews section.

Well, as long as you didn't use words like "actorist" and "blew donkeys", I probably won't mind.

The first one is so true, the others are so false.

If Connery had been in OHMSS? More like if Lazenby had been Bond for 2/3 more films.
I mean....getting booted from the series after 1 film: that "never happened to the other fella". So unfair!

[White Tuxedo]

I would have rather see him in DAF than Connery though. Lazenby needed a chance.

As far as the IMDB goes, practically anybody with a computer can join. So reading those reviews can be funny or downright annoying, depending on your mood.

What I would like to do is start a stupid review thread from people with actual newspaper or Web film columns.
