"THE PARADOX OF JINX JOHNSON"

When I had first 게시됨 코멘트 about the 2002 James Bond movie "DIE ANOTHER DAY" on message boards and forums, I found myself face to face with a surprise.

"THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH" (1999) Review

Well, I just watched “MOONRAKER”. Today, it is considered to be one of the worst Bond 영화 of all times. It has been accused 의해 팬 and critics alike of taking the Bond franchise into a realm of tasteless excess and fantasy. I will not deny there are aspects of “MOONRAKER” that turned me off – including Bond’s final confrontation with the villain aboard the latter’s 우주 station. But after watching it . . . I cannot honestly list “MOONRAKER” as one of my least 가장 좋아하는 Bond films, let alone as one of the worst. Trust me, I have seen a lot worst....
