My first thoughts of this movie, are was this real life? This is the first James Bond film I was getting very antsy at. Roger Moore does not particularily tickle my fancy when it comes to playing a good James Bond role. He looks too aged to be Bond and he is not as mysterious to me. I just wasnt satisfied with any of the roles really in this film. I mean really, the enemy has three nippples? What is the point of three nipples? At least Dr. No has fake hands that don't do him any good when he's in his underground factory about to drown. The one thing I did like was the asian women fighting the men in the one part of the film when the taxi driver and his nieces show up to save Bond. It was kind of ironic though. We finally see some strong women roles, but the women are of asian decent? I was wondering if that played into anything imparticular? And then the taxi driver and his nieces just drive off and leave Bond?
I also saw in another post that someone mentioned about the boy selling James Bond the elephant. I found this extremely random and wasn't sure why Bond pushed him off the boat, it was pretty cruel. Obviously the boy is just trying to sell this elephant, and even helps Bond with the boat, but still gets dumped into the water. But then again, doesn't seem to mind too much? Random.
The most outrageous actor in this movie though is the tourist who is supposed to represent someone from the South. He is so over the top obnoxious and plays a terrible racist role. With all the chew in his mouth, I was surprised he was even able to say his lines. Also, the midget man was pretty annoying. I mean a small man, with a small voice? And then in the end, he's going against the enemy to try and get all the property, that was pretty funny.
I would have liked a stronger female role in this movie, because Goodnight is pretty terrible. And "chew me" as a name, really? It was pretty funny though. There were just so many parts in this film that were akward (Goodnight in the closet), and you can tell that they tried to play alot of humor into the film, but it didn't really work. Sean Connery is definitely my favorite Bond right now. Moore just does not do it for me.
