Ponyo (2008)

I have had the theme stuck in my head all week, so I decided to give it another watch. Wonderful.

4 out 5 Balls.

 

A View to a Kill (1985)

A lot of people tend to badmouth this film, but I quite like it. Roger Moore was definitely too old to have been playing Bond at this point, although his age does set up a nice little side plot of him acting like a father figure to Tanya Roberts' character (until the shower scene at the end of the film ruins that plot thread)

I rather like Duran Duran's theme quite a lot too, I'd definitely have it up in my favourites with On Her Majesty's Secret Service and 'You Know my Name' from Casino Royale.

3 out of 5 balls

Licence to Kill (1989)

Again, people tend to bad mouth this film due for it's 'Miami Vice' influences and for taking a Darker approach, but I really like it. Timothy Dalton's bond almost seems like a precursor to Daniel Craig's Bond in a way, as well as staying more in line to the way Bond is depicted in the Books. I wish Dalton had stayed on to play Bond a couple more times, because I really like his Portrayal. I'm not fond of the score in Licence to Kill, Michael Kamen's score just doesn't seem 'right'.

4 out of 5 Balls.

 

One of the things that saddens me is that a theme that was used prominently throughout most of the original films, hasn't been used since Moonraker.

The theme is called '007'. It would be nice to hear it make a return in a new bond film.
