joseywales Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I can't believe barbara brocoli is begging daniel craig to come back as james bond he lacks charm and humor and quite frankly i have found his bond films to be dark and depressing. I have always favoured people like pierce brosnan and my all time favourite bond roger moore now that guy is suave and sophisticated and the raising of the eyebrow he is james bond. I lastly say that james bond started as pure escapism exotic locations and red hot babes coming out of the ocean maybe I am thinking about the 70s but bond should have fun again.

Alan_R Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 For me I completely disagree. But it's all about opinions The Bourne films came along and blew bond out the water. Bond is now far better with a dark/grittier feel. That said I wouldn't have brought Daniel Craig back. It needs to stay fresh. Collectively I thought the pierce brosnan films were good. I do think it maybe needs a more 'suave' actor to pull off the bond image. I don't want the light hearted/cheesy aspect of the 70s to return though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvoys Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Craig films are closer to the books. Brosnan was becoming ridiculously camp in a post roger Moore worshipping Alan partridge world. I agree though, Craig has done his stint. I would go idris Elba. Actual mans man. None of the BBC prep school boys eg hiddlestone etc please.

Sten Guns Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The last real Bond was probably Goldeneye. The Craig ones have been more Bourne than Bond. His films are okay, but not a patch on the old ones. I suppose times change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjack Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Since Craig became bond I've gone right off the films. The last 2 I didn't even manage to watch them until the end. Pierce brosman was the beat bond imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EreWeG0.. Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Craig ones have been more Bourne than Bond. In the 70s and 80s Bond was unique, and you looked forward to a new one every two years, the girls, gadgets, cars and one liners after a kill. It's not unique anymore and there are so many action movies that it has just fizzled out as a franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal Kingston Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Daniel Craig has been great but they need to drop the 'Bond is finished' schtick if they are going to make any more.

John Findlay Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 My favourite bond was naturally Sean Conner. However as soon as I saw the opening scene of Casino Royal. Daniel Craig nailed it. It was obvious he had read the books and got that Bond is charmless but a cold blooded killer. No qualms killing male or female. Craig is the best Bond with Sean relegated to second in my opinion.

the stone rose Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Roger Moore was my least favourite. Sean was best. I also liked Dalton and Brosnan. Craig has been decent but the last few films have been a little boring. Lazenby, I thought was ok but only did one. My choice for next Bond would be James McAvoy, Or possibly Andrew Lincoln?

Maple Leaf Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think Daniel Craig has been the best Bond since Connery. Delighted if he's making more. I agree. Craig moved the Bond films away from spoof and not-so-clever quips into action-packed thrillers. Coincidentally, last night I watched an early Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, with George Lazenby as Bond. The film was awful, and so was Lazenby.

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'll be delighted if Craig stays on as Bond, his Bond films have been some of the best made since King Sean hung up the tuxedo. Ralph Fiennes and Ben Wishaw have also been good choices for their parts. As for Moneypenny, she's great too. If we were to move on, I'd be happy with Idris Elba or Tom Hardy as have been mentioned above. I don't even know who Tom Hiddlestone is! Didn't he play for Hull?

Victorian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I love all the Bond films up to the point of Diamonds Are Forever, which was horseshit. One or two Moore films as well. Bond films were tremendously stylish in the Connery (Lazenby) era. No Bond film has matched them since. No Bond can get near the same planet as Connery.

Made the massive mistake of buying his box set over Connerys years ago, still regret it. Connery the best closely followed by Craig. If Craig stays on I'm delighted looking forward to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
