Skyfall is the Best Bond Film

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Bob Holness was the original and best Bond.

[Pidge]

It's been years since I've watched any as I never got into the Craig films. But always have to throw you only live twice in, because it's brilliantly mental. Drug-fuelled producers calling the shots with Roald Dahl at the typewriter. Blofeld, space-war, ninjas, volcano bases and Q coming into his own.

 

Also love Goldeneye, but that's just because it was the first one I was at the cinema and I was the right age for it.

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

 

Yea, I found that very strange. Must be some big plans ahead?

I just hope the killing of Bond doesn't see the 007 tag open for a woman, as sexist as that might sound. Going to be interesting.

[Tony Moanero]

The Daniel Craig Bond films are entertaining, but I couldn’t quite take to him. I see him as a poor man’s Steve McQueen.

The way that Spectre had pulled the strings in all 4 films prior even when you didnt even know at the time and the little easter eggs that we all missed the first time around viewing was brilliant and superb writing. 

 

Then just wiped them out in 1 go. Nah mate....

 

I wont ever watch that film again and it goes firmly in the bin. Never been so disappointed in a Bond Film and I went to the cinema twice to see Die Another Day.........

Easily the best theme tune.

I'm gonna wake up, yes and no
I'm gonna kiss some part of
I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna close my body now

I guess I die another day
I guess I die another day
I guess I die another day
I guess I die another day

I guess I'll die another day

I guess I'll die another day

I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now

I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go

For every sin I'll have to pay
I've come to work, I've come to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go

I'm gonna avoid the cliché
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now

I guess I die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess I die another day
I guess I'll die another day

I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go

I need to lay down

I guess I die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess I die another day
I guess I'll die another day

Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day

Apparently the reason Bond is called 007 is because he's a combination of seven real agents that Flemming knew. He wrote Bond because he was bored and longed to be in the field again.

I once met a guy in the West of Ireland that claimed he wrote Bond and Fleming was full of shit. This was in a little snug in a posh hotel, everyone there was glued to his every word. Being a cynical young cunt at the time I took it all as complete waffle. Turned out he was who he said he was.

it was the bourne films which made bond go back to being gritty apparently

 

live and let die for me. 

in the whole Roger vs. Sean deabte that's been raging for the last 20 years, I have to say I'm firmly in the Roger camp. I believe no one could, sort of, wear a safari suit with the same degree of casuality.

[redheart]

Skyfall is a mixture of Batman, Home Alone and Crocodile Dundee. Entertaining but ultimately not worth a second watch. And fuck listening to making Skyfall rhyme with crumble.

 

Best bond movies

Live and Let Die

The Spy Who Loved Me

The Man With The Golden Gun

[Anubis]

Apart from the dialogue as Bond is convalescing, Casino Royale is the best of Craig's films.

Theme tune is good as well by Nancy Sinatra. 
I do like Tina Turner belting out Goldeneye as well.

Agreed.

 

Mads Mikkelsen's performance is much better than Javier Bardem's attempt at being a villian.

Yet Javier Bardem was the ultimate villain in No Country for Old Men.

And with that one statement you lost the argument.

Lovely man but they allowed him to take Bond to Carry on levels.

I call as my first witness Vijay Amritraj.

Closely followed by Jaws and the bird with ponytails.

Which *checks notes* isn’t a Bond film.

[Preston Red]

I enjoyed Skyfall and found Javier Bardem quite unnerving as the villain.

 

Big highlight, for me, in the Bond films is the killing of Blofeld in FYEO. "MISTER BOOOOOooooooonnnnnnnnnnddddd......"

But was a comparison to him being called a 'poor villain' in a Bond film.

People seem to forget that the Bond films were never to be taken seriously. The books may have been different but the films were played for fun with stylish but cartoonish super villains. I found this the problem with the more modern films. Taking themselves far too seriously.

[Anubis]

It wasn’t, Vlad. He was comparing the relative merits of Bond villains in Bond movies. It had nothing to do with villains in other movies.

Again- Thank you for bringing this thread back with reasoned responses.

Goldfinger, From Russia, Dr No in that order.  Then things turned to gimmicks, special effects and comedy until Casino Royale but then they slowly lost it again.
