villarule123 Posted October 19, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2012 Goldeneye Connery Diamonds are Forever Goldfinger and the Casino Royale theme came close to being my favourite movie & theme. I like the Daniel Craig movies but I just don't think he looks like how Bond should be. Blond, not handsome, no charm, there's something that doesn't feel right for me. Looking forward to Skyfall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Craig all the way , as I've said in previous Bond films you wouldn't have Austin Powers if Bond was Casino Royale onwards .. The double take pigeons in Venice etc may have raised a laugh at the time but look cringeworthy when you see the films since the reboot Saw I read an article the other week that said The Quantum of Solace theme was voted the best Bond theme ? Probably view to a kill for me but I'm not a huge fan of any of the bond themes Sounds like Skyfall could be the best yet but until I've seen it I'll vote for Casino Royale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I still don't think any of them are gritty enough, and I don't mean like Bond having his balls bashed in Casino Royale, I mean the dirty side of espionage. It has always been a bit too clean cut a pursuit for me to truly believe in it. Although I admittedly have a natural inclination to murky plots and cynical characters. I've also always struggled with Bond's motivation. He's always been a two-dimensional character. So I think the Craig films come closest to getting it right but they are still a long way off ideal. Casino Royale for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_c Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 You only live twice All the time in the world and Connery Although I thought Dalton was a good Bond, in not so great films. Also fond both of Craig's films so far incredibly dull. Solace particularly, was an utter abomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Most are crap Goldeneye was above average Casino Royale is the best I enjoyed Quantum of Solace very much I think the above shows I am not a bond fan at all, arguably one of the worst 'series' of films ever, all my own opinion of course.

Stevo985 Posted October 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2012 Film: Casino Royale Actor: Daniel Craig Theme: Tomorrow Never Dies (vastly underrated) It's weird for me. I haven't seen all the bond films, but I've seen a lot. I think a lot depends on era. When I think of James Bond, I think of Pierce Brosnan without fail. Must be because I grew up with him as the current Bond. Just as I used to think Goldeneye was the best Bond. But I really do think Craig is the best Bond. He, and the recent films in general, are exactly how I think Bond should be. Before that he'd almost become a parody of himself. Die Another Day was painfully awful. The reboot is the best thing to happen to the Bond films, and Craig being such a good Bond is one of the main reasons for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 you only live twice connery the spy who loved me (nobody does it better...) and IMO after watching it again on thursday is "its quite alright, we have all the time in the world..." is the best scene in any bond film christopher lee is the best villain best location is the volcano from YOLTb best stunt is the screwball car jump in DAF ive got huge hopes for skyfall, IMO there is a danger that they are going the way of the brosnan films where they just become a poorer version of the previous film, bardem is a great bit of casting which makes me believe that wont happen, QofS didnt have a strong enough story and had too many chase / action scenes, im also hoping that the shanghai scenes are good because the clip where he is taking up a sniper position with the city lights behind him look amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Goldfinger Sean Connery Diamonds are Forever Best Villain: Blofeldt (played by several actors). I actually think Daniel Craigs 'Bond' lends more to the character in the books than the others (except Connery, who was made for the role). He is a flawed character, which I think is clearly evidenced in the latest offerings and fairly dark. But each actor has brought something different to the role and theres been some classic one-liners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said upthread, I'd love to see the Fleming books filmed in a 50s milieu (complete with the supercharged Bentley), with Craig as Bond. Won't happen, though.

The_Rev Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Love Moby's cover of the classic Bond theme. Fave film? Hard to choose, but I really like Goldeneye, Goldfinger, Dr No & Casino Royale. Best Bond? Connery or Craig. Best Car? The DB5, obviously. While anybody who disagrees about that one is perfectly entitled to their wrong opinion, I have to stress just how wrong they are. Just look at it. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
