That theory doesn't hold true unless you are claiming that The World is Not Enough is a better movie than Tomorrow Never Dies?

And I think Quantum is a much better movie on a repeat viewing.

I am claiming exactly that, I thought Tomorrow Never Dies was rubbish one of the worst bond films in the whole Genera in fact. I would go so far as to say I would rather watch On Her Majestys Secret Service. I cant really justify this, I just didnt like TND.

Admittedly, yes, I have only seen Quantum the once so on your advice I'll give it another go

Wait now you are making it sound like On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a bad movie when it is one of my favorite Bond movies?

What type of rubbish is this?

No No on the contrary. OHMSS is one of my favourites too. I just used it as an example as it is often viewed as one of the worst bond movies, a view I do not share.

I thought OHMSS was great, you see a whole other side to bond and in the end his wife is murdered, theres so much more emotion and depth in this movie than people give it credit for and I thought George Lazenby made a good bond.

It is a shame that there was never really a follow on from this plot. The day I see a new bond film and he's visiting his late wifes grave at the start before going out for revenge is something I have wanted for time.

There's actully two follow-up, doesn't make them good, but follow-ups nonetheless.

The start of Diamonds are Forever shows him tracking down Blofeld for the death of his wife and killing him, of course you find out later it was a clone or something.

Than the start of one of Moore's movies, I believe For Your Eyes Only, has him visiting his wife's grave at the start only for him to be attacked by Blofeld who he finally does kill.
