[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 77968, member: 463"] I agree entirely about Bond, I turned on the first Pierce Brosnan movie (the one with Sean Bean as 006) expecting return to the cool Sean Connery era. Instead I sat through 15 minutes of sub-Die Hard crap (hundreds of Russians fall at a single blow, you know), and turned off in disgust. I still lament it. There was a great climactic battle scene in an old Bond, I think it was Roger Moore, with a couple of Soviet soldiers with SMGs vs Bond fighting amongst some parked rail carriages. That was exciting and tense, because it enabled suspension of disbelief. Bond kills 500 Russkies at a time just doesn't do it for me. I blame Richard Burton's 'Where Eagles Dare' - it all seems to have started to go wrong from there! :) [/QUOTE]
