Bugs me that people are starting to talk about Craig's replacement. I want to see 4 more films staring him.

I don't think he wants to do that many more. I believe he's signed on for just one more film after this one.

I remember seeing Never Say Never Again and how big it was to see Sean Connery as Bond again. I was young and was my second Bond film after For Your Eyes Only but my parents were super excited to see Sean again.

Craig has been Bond for 9 years now, only one to do it longer (without a break) was Roger Moore and the consensus is that he stayed in the role for too long.

Granted, Sean Connery came back for Never Say Never Again, but that really was a mistake too.

Interesting. Too much time between films.

I disagree. I really liked the winks at the camera and the other things that they did that broke down the 4th barrier. In many ways, it also predicted some of the changes to the main series that were later introduced (budget strapped Q-branch, etc.). The director was also one of the better ones for a JB film.

That's the problem these days - they're not producing enough of these films, fast enough. Not like the '60's and '70's... what was it, a Bond film every other year?

Two years used to be the norm for Bond film releases. Only the first four Bond films, as well as Moore's first two films, were released at a one-year interval. The longest delay between Bond films are as follows:

  • Six years - Licence to Kill (1989) to GoldenEye (1995)
  • Four years - Die Another Day (2002) to Casino Royale (2006); Quantum of Solace (2008) to Skyfall (2012)
  • Three Years - The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) to The Spy Who Loved Me (1977); The World Is Not Enough (1999) to Die Another Day (2002); Skyfall (2012) to SPECTRE (2015)

"Why Should I trust you?"-Girl

"Because right now I'm your best chance at staying alive!"-Bond

Considering Craig's Bond is something like 1 out of 5 when it comes to keeping women under his protection alive I'd take my chances alone. :p

No....Quantum of Solace wasn't bad..it was absolutely horrid! Casino Royal and Skyfall on the other hand were, IMHO, two of the best Bonds ever put on film. :-)

hehe! to be honest I haven't really liked any of the last dozen or so Bond films much at all..

As completely corny and cheesy as it was I really liked Moonraker! hehe! please don't judge me! :p:lol:

That was highly entertaining! RM would have been a better bond if he had been given non-slapstick scripts.

Posted

Last time I saw Roger Moore he was looking like a stand in for the Stay Puft Marshmallow man.

Looking forward to Spectre. I just hope they start putting more classic Bond touches into the movie, the more "stark" features that added to the movies after 9/11 are just not what I'm looking for in lite entertainment.

haha! yep count me in!

He got too old really quickly, bad scripts or not.

after seeing another trailer for this before The Martian came on, it looks to have some good potential! Betteer than the last few Bond flicks which were pretty bad..

Loving the new Bond girl too! :wub: Léa Seydoux is quite lovely!
