Skyfall is the Best Bond Film

I liked Craig's Bond films but you don't notice until you go back and look at the classics that they're not really Bond films. They may as well be John Wick or Jason Bourne films. Car chases, twat someone over the head with an Ash tray then get depressed about lost loves. 

 

In our first introduction to Connery's Bond he's sat at a casino table in a tux, winning every hand, smoking a fag and drinking whisky. Some bird asks him out and he's like "maybe later".

Always used to laugh to my Dad when i was a kid about Bond shagging loads of women and in the next film they are never even mentioned. Wonder if Dr Goodhead was wife material, did Bond write a letter to Brezhnev to get Barbara Bach over to England or Stacey Sutton could have been Bond's Trophy wife as she was about 15 years younger?

 

I would have retired to California with her and lived in that house with her, even though her cat was a little twat. 

 

The only reference to any woman in any of the previous films is when Roger Moore visits Tracy's grave in For your Eyes Only and when Barbara Bach mentions her in The Spy Who Loved Me but he quickly changes the subject. Bond fucks off to Amsterdam and Las Vegas in the first film after her death.

Discuss. Always loved The Man With The Golden Gun but it's fucking stupid despite being superb. 

 

Skyfall has it all. Moore is still the best bond for me but Skyfall is the best Bond film ever. 

 

Goldfinger is shit 

 

 

Not only is it the best Bond Film, but Adele’s theme song is absolutely the best ever Bond theme. It’s so good, I can forget it’s the same semi-tone run up that has been Bond since the 60s

The Bourne films changed Bond. The Bourne identity was out in 2002 4 years before Casino Royale.

After an excellent start Roger Moore killed Bond for me. Octopussy and Moonraker are comedies.

Pierce Brosnan was slightly better but the scripts/story lines where shit.

Daniel Craig took Bond back to the book.

Anyway, OHMSS is the best for me with the most beautiful Bond girl.

Skyfall in the top 3, although it's the only one where Bond failed in not keeping M alive.

You are waffling here.

This is the best post on this god awful thread I have had to read thus far. Damien has had an absolute mare so far. 

 

Thats the best thing about the Craig films that they were once raw again. James was and is a mere man. He isnt a super hero. He gets it wrong; he ages and he has emotions. 

There were no slap stick jokes until the opening sequence at the day of the dead when he falls from the building and lands on the sofa. That was the first time we saw craig add any humour into the films and that was done specifically as they had to re write the character.

God you chat some fucking wham sometimes Dan 

 

That last Film you allude to.......

 

Spectre; the most dangerous organisation in the world- Taken out in 1 move. Behave- Awful writing to piss on the last four films. 

 

Villain- Freddy fucking Mercury. Cunt didnt even change his voice. 

 

Ending- Dont even get me started on that,  Who the fuck are you to decide to Kill him off? Thats not your character to do that with. You are a custodian of James. He isnt yours to do what you want with. 

 

Armageddon had a better ending.
