ChoosyCircle Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) I've got them all, and of all the bonds I feel that dalton is very underrated. He was quite decent, I don't remember his first one being the best, but his second film was one of my favorites. I don't know why people diss his film with quantum of solace around.

Gummy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 A bit late but no one's mentioned it yet, Daniel Craig is confirmed back as Bond for one last time. GrudgefromSanAndreas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Time Ranger Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 2nd trailer released for Craigs swansong, No Time To Die. Looks promising, I've been waiting for this for a while, the Craig era is my favourite, while Quantum of Solice and Spectre were weaker than Skyfall and Casino Royale, I thought they did a good job of bringing Bond into the 21st century, a darker, more realistic, if that word can be applied to Bond, take. I like that tonally with Craig's films they settled for a more serious take with just enough fan service thrown in, imo with the Brosnan era they had an identity crisis, are we going serious or cheesy, and we ended up with invisible cars and face swapping North Koreans, leave the face swapping to Nicholas Cage. Ana De Armas and Daniel Craig are reunited after starring together in the excellent Knives Out, rumour is her screen time is limited as she was a late addition to the film, if this is true it's a pity as she is one of my favourite new actresses, she has a believability about her and great screen presence. Either way good to see her. Mister Pink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely-Martin Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Looking forward to the new one, really quite enjoyed Daniel Craig's run of Bond flicks but I have been a lifelong fan of the series, grew up on Bond movies really. Absolutely loved Craig's Casino Royale with Mads Mikkelson as a quality baddie, and Skyfall was pretty moving considering too I felt. Live and Let Die was always a real favourite, cracking theme song but Bond has largely always been on form with theme music. Goldeneye another with Sean Bean in good form, of course most of Connery's are absolute gold, classic cinema. I always loved many of the baddies in Bond movies too, I remember being so fascinated with Jaws as a kid, lol. Scary big dude was Richard Kiel. Fun fact: He was in Happy Gilmore and scared the piss out of Shooter McGavin. Ivan1997GTA and Mister Pink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spy Who Loved Me is probably my favourite Bond film. I was born in 1974 so Roger was my Bond really as I was growing up. I know his films inside out and back to front. I think I watched The Man with the Golden Gun every day in my six week school holiday one particular year. I do like Connery as well though, I think that You Only Live Twice is my favourite (no surprise there seeing as it is virtually the same plot as The Spy Who Loved Me) but I have a real fondness for From Russia With Love too, because the always awesome Robert Shaw is in it.

The Time Ranger Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Saw this comment on the No Time To Die Trailer, credit to Miles Peckover Quote Would love to see a James Bond movie where we see him: 1. Bored as f*ck doing actual surveillance and counter-surveillance. 2. Has no idea why he's given any of his objectives by his bosses. 3. Eventually finds out that he's actually just on a job where the government are using him to secure financial assets or to disrupt emerging democracies. 4. Spends some serious time risk-assessing his relationships with unusually attractive, conveniently available women. 5. Goes to the clinic after shagging his way through the intelligence assets of several nations and finds out he has chlamydia.

Creed Bratton Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The song is pretty good. I've heard of Billie Eilish, but I've never heard any of her songs before: For some reason I'm really impressed with her pronunciation of the word "concern". I don't know why.

Sunglasses Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've been watching all of the Bond movies in release order, right now I'm up to A View To a Kill, the last film I watched was Never Say Never Again. My favorite Bond is Connery. Wish I had more to add but here's to hoping there's more activity in this thread to rejuvenate discussion, 007 is one of my favorite film franchises now.

NileshKumar Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I always liked Dr. No and Goldfinger because the story in both of them were amazing. As for Daniel Craig, he can still do much better (CR, Skyfall and Spectre were good tho) Edited November 13, 2020 by NileshKumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Time Ranger Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Despite it's good reviews I thought On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the worst Bond i've ever seen. Lazenby is as wooden as a pirates cock, Telly Savalas has the acting chops to be a great Bond villian, but he's just wasted, the plot is absurd, I know Bond isn't exactly Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but get this, Blofield assembles all these beauitful women from around the world, all with unique allergies, he plans to extract the allergies to create a "super allergy" and spread it. That plot is ironic B-movie fodder, there's a scene where all the lovely ladies are eating dinner, they're eating their national food, the English one has a roast dinner, the Chinese one has some noodle based dish, so far so good right? No get this, the Jamician lady is having a traditional dinner of two bananas with sugar on the side, brown sugar that is, didn't age well, felt like a Family Guy cutaway gag.

TwistOfLime21 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Few No Time To Die spoilers. Good movie but I probably won’t be watching it a second time. With the way the world is at the moment, I don’t think we needed an infectious virus / bioweapon storyline. Rami was a meh villain who was basically just a face and an accent. There was nothing interesting about him nor did he actually feel like a threat (besides the obvious), even when he kidnapped Matilda. By the time he poisoned James, I just didn’t care. And unfortunately that carried on to James’ death too. It tried to be an emotional scene with him on top of the silo talking to Madeline for the last time but it just wasn’t. What irritated me for a lot of the movie was Rami was clearly an adult in the first scene where Lea is around ten. In the present day, she’d be in her thirties yet Rami looks younger than her, not twenty years older. Although I’m hoping they don’t go down that route, they seem to have planted the seeds for Daniel’s Craig’s replacement too.

Hardy is around 45 right now which is quite average to actually play Bond, but he's very established actor already with some serious world hits behind him. Usually, Bond roles are propelling actors further and I wonder how it will work for him: Brosnan's best movies were almost all after the Bond parts. And speaking of Hardy, I still wait for the Taboo season 2. NileshKumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty old to be starting the role though in a franchise where the same actor is expected to do at least four or five films, which would span an eight to ten year period or more producing them. I think that Roger Moore was 45 in Live and Let Die in 1973 and at the time was the oldest debut Bond actor. By the time of A View to a Kill in 1985 he would have been 57 or so, and was definitely looking creaky by then. As a Commander in the Royal Navy, as Bond is, you would expect him at that rank to be at least late 30's early 40's, but the actors definitely look their age when they reach the end of their respective Bond tenures.
