1) You Only Live Twice was a superior Connery outing to Goldfinger and Thunderball.

2) Roger Moore is a better actor than Sean Connery.

3) The Living Daylights was the weakest Bond film in the last two decades, with a so-so Cold War plot and weak baddies.

4) License to Kill was (outside of Casino Royale) the strongest Bond film in the last two decades, with a excellent revenge plot and charismatic baddies.

5) Science fiction and fantasy themes has always been integral with James Bond from almost the onset.

6) The Soviet Russians being the arch baddies has always been a Bond brainbug (perpetrated by the overrated GoldenEye).

7) Moonraker was the strongest Bond movie of the 1970s.

8 ) Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough were better Brosnan outings than GoldenEye.

9) Jaws getting a girlfriend and turning "good" in MR never bothered me, since Jaws was the ridiculous (but fun) character that he always was.

10) Die Another Day was not ruined by sci-fi gadgets or ice palaces, but a weak and needlessly convoluted plot.
