Bond

[ithuriel]

James Bond.

Currently watching You only live twice and for a bit of fun, was wondering who peeps think is the best Bond and which is your fave Bond movie, that even includes the Peter Sellers movie 

Myself, I'm going with GoldFinger and Connery.

Jones the Bond - licence to killth

Quite liked from Russia with Love and Casino Royale (the new one). Find it hard to sit through any of the others.

I remember back in the 80s it was considered the best by some and it was maybe Moores best bar Live and Let Die.

Live and let die

Moore wasn’t the best Bond but he was Bond when I was a youth and growing up. Watching them films now they’re a bit cringe/camp but the music was good and Jaws was a great character

I could not afford it but one of my school mates used to go watch them then tell me about them, Moore was a good Bond

Not the best Bond film, but A View To A Kill is a guilty pleasure. Christopher Walken was a decent villain in it.

Walken made that movie, Moore was really showing his age and the movie has a melancholic vibe to it but yeah, I do enjoy watching it too.

Decent 80s Bond theme tbf...

Sorry, but I detest any Bond film. I cannot for the life of me, suspend disbelief sufficiently to enjoy any of the trite, childish, far fetched and, frankly ridiculous storylines, plotlines and characters in any of them and yes, I have watched them because my wife likes them so I kinda have to.

I find them toe-curlingly awful.

Just MHO.

Sorry but when you said you had to endure them due to your wife, I just creased up not mean, just tickled me that's all  just have this vision of someone sitting there going, effing Bond grrrr.

Lol. I do go "ffs this is just shite, why are we watching this". She says because she likes it. I get another glass of wine and endure. 

I could go in the next room and watch porn, but that would probably result in a more extreme negative reaction than me watching Bond

Casino Royale is probably the best, for a spy thriller its certainly is intense something that Bond films lacked for a long time. I'd follow that up with Goldfinger, may not have been the first but I believe it was movie that certainly set up Bond for a long term future. Best Bond is probably Craig, he's probably playing the role just has Fleming wrote a cold killer!

Of the Daniel Craig films, Casino Royale and Skyfall were good but Quantum of Solace and Spectre were 2 of the worst ever made.

Quantum certainly is a bore fest, funny enough though it made more money than Casino Royale due to the fact everyone was expecting the same... they were so wrong. So much wrong with the money, a script poorly written (though that was due to writers strike at the time), poor directing, weak plot in fact dull, unexciting locations, poor written characters. Such a shame would have been great follow to Casino. Funny how through the Craig movies there always been hit and miss... Casino good, Quanutm bad, Skyfall good, Spectre bad, hopefully that should mean No Time To Die should be good.

Timothy Dalton was a hugely underrated Bond, I liked both of his films. Skyfall was excellent too. Enjoy most of them to be honest.

 

But The Spy Who Loved Me is my favourite - Roger Moore, Jaws, The Pyramids, The Lotus, the song, Stanley Kubrick even set up the lighting for the Tanker scenes - what more could you ask for !?
