I'll only say best and worst.

Best: Sean Connery. I don't need to justify this, it's pretty much a FACT.

Worst: Daniel Craig. He just completely ruined the series. Perhaps I am just associating two of the worst Bond movies ever with their actor. But he just...isn't Bond. He looks half drunk. His voice is weak. He's BLONDE. He overacts massively.

Yes, because with the likes of The Man With The Golden Gun and Octopussy, it's obvious that the two Craig films are the worst.

*Pretentious snort*

I think his voice is great, and besides, who would've thought that an Anglo-Saxon could be blonde? Crazy stuff.

An Anglo-Saxon can be blonde. A Bond cannot.

2 of the highest grossing Bond films ever disagree.



 

 

Around the Network

1. Sean Connery- D'uh!
2. Daniel Craig- Is actually more like the Bond in the books and how Bond is supposed to be. None of this suave tongue-in-cheek humour.
3. Roger Moore- OK, after my last comment this might seem a bit weird, but he brought something new to the role, which was nice at the time.
4. Pierce Brosnan- Bit too much of a weed to play Bond. He got the suave and sophisticated style right... just went over board with it and came off like a bit of a smarmy git.

The rest were pretty forgettable.

Twilight and Transformers 2 are two of the highest grossing films of all time.

Just like with games, commercial success =/= quality.

Though like I said, Daniel Craig was only one of many problems with those two movies (especially QoS...ugh).

Transformers 2 barely makes the Top 20, and Twilight is nowhere near even the Top 50 highest grossing films of all time.

Look, all I'm saying is that Craig was a great Bond. If you don't like him, fine. Prepare to see his face for several more movies.

*sigh* I know

And for some reason, I'll watch every single one of them even though I know I'll hate them all.

I like Craig, Casino Royale was a great film, and I thought Quantum of Solace was pretty good too.

Yay, I was waiting for an excuse to do this.

Casino Royale:

  • Some two people were killed in the entire movie.
  • The plotline revolved around Poker.
  • No Q
  • Daniel Craig (yes, I know, whatever)
  • Boring villain
  • If Bond loses, he's funding terrorism! Oh, heavens, no! What if he broke a nail? This guy is rich enough to host a huge poker party in a five star hotel and bid $15 million, inviting some of the most powerful people in the world. He doesn't really need much more money.

But, it was written by Ian Fleming, so can't complain, I suppose.

Quantum of Solace:

Oh dear.

  • NOT written by Ian Fleming (but then quite a few of the films aren't)
  • Ridiculously over-the-top action
  • Bond kills everything that moves, for no adequately explored reason.
  • The evil supervillain this time is trying to dominate Bolivia's water supply. Oh, dear god! What could happen if he did that? It would be catastrophic! The price of water in Bolivia could go up, and some people might be a little thirsty! DISASTER! Besides, there is already a company with a monopoly of Bolivia's water supply.
  • Villain was about as charismatic as a brick wall.
  • NO GADGETS. Except something which resembles Windows 7 Touch, oh, and a camera phone which can identify people. Futuristic stuff. Who needs lame gadgets, like a laser watch, or jam trousers?

EDIT: Interesting thing to note: from personal experience, Americans love these two, and everyone else hates them.

I've never seen Lazenby or Dalton's works, but of the ones i've seen, i'd have to say i like Brosnan and Connery, and dislike Moore and Craig.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Yes, I know you're English.

How anyone can have enjoyed either of those films, particularly the second, is beyond me. But, an opinion is an opinion.
