    Likely due to the average one having fewer than the normal amount to take care of.

Also they should have stopped making bond films right before the very first one because they're all terrible except for that one I saw a couple of years back that had a slow motion gun fight.
    I guess everyone is entitled to there opinions (even when they sound retarded), but saying all the Bond Movies were shit except one?? I would reverse that and say only one bond movie was really shit, well actually two, both starred Timothy Dalton as Bond...
    Yeah, cos the one with George Lazenby sure is a cinematic masterpiece.

    Actually the myth has surpassed the truth and a lot of "Bond aficionados*" now consider On Her Majesty's Secret Service to be one of the better Bond films and Lazenby to be a more than adequate Bond.
    Most of his bad rap coming from being a stop-gap fill in for Connery and not being actually bad.

    The film has a good supporting cast,great locations and the first big skiing sequence.Also it's purely instrumental theme (like Lazenby a one off) is widely regarded,along with the obvious Goldfinger as series best.

    On the other hand,most view the invisible car in Die Another Day as being the true low point although personally I rank Bond in a clown costume,Jaws in love and the entirety of Man with the Golden Gun to be right up there.

    This is pretty close to how I'd actually rank them.
    A lot of critics seem to rank Quantum of Solace a lot lower.I didn't care for it when it came out but it was more a let down from Casino Royale and I actually quite like it now.

    Yeah it's called Spectre which makes no sense since SPECTRE* is an acronym.

    I would say that the producers are just trying for some sly play on words but it's Hollywood so there's as much chance of that as there is of Taylor Swift turning out a song that doesn't make my testicles want to retract up into my abdominal cavity.

    From what I remember Lazenby was pretty shitty at acting. Possibly due to being drunk for much of the filming, or so the rumour goes.

    Can't speak for the supporting cast and whatnot. I just remember it as being very boring.

    This is what I remember when watching OHMSS: I forgot I was watching a Bond movie at some point throughout it. I felt like I left Fleming's universe without realizing when it happened.

    Also, thanks Idol. I'm glad you knew me well enough to identify that my ignorance wasn't a farce. So, hail Hydra then.
