dweller were you not impressed by daniel craig enough? He should probably hear about this, if he knows a mildly overweight hillbilly in North Carolina thinks his movie is hugely overrated he'll probably go ahead and retire

It ruined the cinematography. I'd wait/pay.

I plan on watching it again.

the bond movies span 46 years.
So let's say Craig's bond would have totally bombed in 1985 when Dalton did his first.
Same deal I guess with any of the others.

Anyway, I liked it. Maybe it didn't rock my worl like casino royalle, but maybe that was because I was SO elated to have something that resembled Fleming's character and not some fucking comic book hero who can fake death and drive invisible cars.

(with all respect to Pierce Brosnan, it was not his acting that sucked. It was the SCRIPT)

i actually enjoyed goldeneye. it was one of the first bonds I saw, and got me hooked on the series enough to start watching the earlier ones.

the other brosnan bond movies weren't that great

I enjoyed Goldeneye too, and for the most part The Living Daylights (Dalton)
But I actually can not watch any of the other bond movies after Live and Let Die.

Honestly I am a big Bond fan. Probably seen each one at least 5 times and I liked this one.

Casino Royale was good and this one got better to me. I like where they are going.

Timothy Dalton was by far the worst Bond.

Connery>Moore>Craig>Brosnan>Dalton......

"something that resembled Fleming's character "


everyone keeps saying this but it's simply not true

Craig's Bond is reckless and selfish when it comes to how he gets things done. And maybe right now that's the point as they're trying to paint this picture of "Bond's Backstory" (especially since they put the gun barrel scene at the end of the movie).

Fleming's Bond is more mature and self-aware that he's a small fish in a big pond and does his job for the sake of public service. By no means is Fleming's Bond respectful of authority and he doesn't always do things by the rules, but they make sense when he does them and he doesn't just kill people randomly without learning anything. And btw, he hates killing people just to kill people...something Craig's Bond has done at least 10 times over the last 2 movies with no sense of remorse (and i don't mean random bad guys in the middle of a shootout). Fleming's Bond struggles with the good vs evil nature of his job and how the lines get blurry, the movie does a good job of pointing that out but its not from Bond's perspective.

these new movies even lack Fleming's style on the Bond-Leiter relationship, they're more than just colleagues that assume each other to be the "good guys" every once and a while. They chum around and are pretty good friends whenever their paths cross. Its probably not realistic to put in the films, but the older ones made the relationship appear more fun and friendly.

If you want Fleming's Bond, look for a mix of Sean Connery and Tim Dalton. If you think Brosnan got bad writing, Dalton got the most ridiculous of villians. The plots weren't too bad, its just that the villians sucked and were completely laughable. Dalton's "Bond scenes" certainly trump Craig's "Bond scenes"--Craig's Bond just has nice Jason Bourne action scenes that people like these days.
