The world is not enough is where they started sexing things up with Denise fricking Richards as a nuclear scientist and the other bond girl as another that was far too young for Bronson.
Check it, in TND, his love interests are Terry Hatchet and Michelle Yeoh; mature, talented actresses. And in Goldeneye, the love interest there wasn't an ingenue. She had some chops, and Famke Jassen had chops. She was the muscle.
Then you have TWINE and DAD with women really being bloody airheads with titles and henchmen, or being used as henchmen for seduction. Cheesy, wrong, stilted and bad.
Terry and Pierce got to do a scene in TND where they discuss the fact that they're both too seasoned to play the 'I pretend to seduce you - you pretend to be seduced' and there's actually some dynamics going on about things they both regret of the choices they've made and what things have come to and how much danger Terry's character is in, because of the line she has to dance on.
It's... a grown up Bond. He's charming but he's not trying to be all playboy. It's the older, knowing, Bond, who looks at the pretty young thing and goes 'Maybe when you're older'.
*rolls eyes* And then they tried to sex it up with Denise Richardson in short shorts going 'I'm a nuclear physicist! Really I am!' And I don't know what the heck Halle Berry was supposed to be in DAD. All I saw was Catwoman going 'Really, I can act! Really!'
Wow... I can tell you the whole plot of TND, and most of the plot of Goldeneye. But I just peeked at Wikipedia and discovered I'd forgotten a whole bunch of stuff about DAD. It wasn't real at all, no wonder I forgot it. Gene disguise therapy and super lasers in space. Ugh.
