In Reply to: Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan(don't worry, no spoilers) posted by Ears on November 21, 1999 at 00:51:12:
I thought it was a bad movie. Denise Richards acting is horrible, the bad guys weren't nasty. With the ending when he kills him with the rod, I saw it coming the moment I saw the rod... I've seen commando. I almost fell asleep in the middle of it because I knew what was going to happen... they don't drop the hints very subtely (sp). The whole scene with the torture chair is ridiculously stupid and really unbelieveable just like the rest of the movie. I also take issues with the portrayal (as with all bond movies) of women and the way that Bond treats them as objects. Oh, did I mention that despite a few humorous and highly offensive one liners, I thought that the dialouge sucked?
I went to see wo films this weekend & found each of them equally disturbing. Only reason I went to see SH is I happen to live in the original Sleepy Hollow refered to in the film. Christopher Walken & his "Errrrrrrr" all of the time. Sheesh, great dialog.Bond also sucked equally. I happened to really like Tommorow Never Dies, but this dreck was dismal. Where was the evil? I saw no hint at destroying or taking over the world. But both leading ladies were rather nice eye candy. But not 2 hours nice.
Why do I continue to goto the theater? Just wait for it on DVD.
I think I've only watched 2 Bond movies since Connery left. One was the first Pierce Brosnan a few yrs. back. It was about as believeable as a Batman movie only far more boring and predictable. Yes, I believe I dozed off as well. Total crappola. Apparently nothing has changed.
