Ha ha ha! Yeah, that line was not exactly a high point in the Bond series. I just never bought into the character of Jinx and how she fit the movie. There is no question that the scene where Halle Berry comes out of the water in that bikini is the stuff dreams are made of, but I guess I expected more from an Academy Award-winning actress than another hot Bond girl who looks terrific but whose character has no real depth.
I liked Moonraker solely for Lois Chiles. The rest was okay for me.
The worst Bond was film was Die Another Day. I thought it was awful. Another one that I disliked immensely was License to Kill. My top five would probably be:
1. Goldfinger
2. The Spy Who Loved Me
3. Dr. No
4. Thunderball
5. For Your Eyes Only
If you would have told me after Goldeneye came out that Pierce would eventually make a Bond film worse than anything to come out of Roger Moore, I would have smacked you around.
The only Brosnan Bond film I really like is Goldeneye. All the others I don't care for all too much, especially Die Another Day. And theres only a few Roger Moore films I really like, most of them being too goofy for my tastes in Bond films (although they're still fun to watch). I think like the Connery and Craig films the most, perhaps because they're the most realistic.
Bond is a very interesting franchise. Each film tends to be very polarizing. I've done a lot of reading about it and have tried to understand different viewpoints about all the movies, and what amazes me is that two people could agree on half of the movies and have completely opposing opinions on the other half. I can understand the reasons people like or dislike any given Bond film - they have never made a perfect one.
