Unfunny?
When people talk about how much they dislike Dalton and his two movies, one of the main complaints I always hear is "He/His movies just aren't funny. They don't have any of the camp of the older films, and are too stiff".
Is there some alternate version of this film that people are watching? Because I always found it to reach near-moore levels of humor in some scenes.
For instance:
The milk bottle bombs
The cello case chase ("We have nothing to declare.")
The car being sawed in half by a laser, and Dalton blaming salt corrosion
The barn sliding across the ice
These and many other moments left me in tears the first time I watched the movie. Dalton may be a bit more serious in his portrayal of bond, but I feel like this makes the humor even better. It's like he's a straight man walking through a carnival.
