The ultra suave, wisecracking, serial philanderer that we've come to know and love/loathe is not how Ian Fleming intended Bond to be portrayed.
In the novels the character is far darker and generally flawed. Casino Royale was an attempt to capture that and move closer to the original idea.
.
Also the Pierce Brosnan movies had gotten a bit ridiculous
They should have watched Dexter first
Charming and dark.
Dexter is one of the worst things i've ever seen
well, it's not the worst. but it's spigging awful
sadly mistaken
you are
I think James Bond
in general is an unfunny leery ponce
get out
what part of my post is wrong
is he funny? Nope.
is he leery? Yep.
is he a ponce? Undoubtedly.
all of it.
GET OUT.
how is it wrong you goat?
it just is, because i say so
i disagree, so it's wrong
bore off
a ponce?
a ponce?
ponces do not take as many hits to the nads as Bond did in Casino Royale. He didn't even cry despite the fact a few of the blows only grazed the left teste and we all know it hurts a lot more when they're grazed.
Ponce my arse biscuit.
yes a ponce
ok, but do you want to ponce my arse biscuit?
yes sir
I bet he looks better in a tux than you though ;)
no doubt
I look like a failed bouncer when wearing a tux
or without it for that matter
he isn't a real person.
you realise that don't you?
BLASPHEMY
i did first time i watched casino
but watching it again i realised it rules
Best-Bond-Ever!
i think also it tryed to hard to out do its predessesors
batman begins. now thats how it is done :)
tried
I really liked it.
But then my other favourite Bonds would be:
The Living Daylights
For Your Eyes Only
Live and Let Die
I haven't seen the Connery ones enough to make a comment on those so I'm not really sure I have a favourite from his era.
I like the Bonds that are really spy thrillers or in some way odd ones. The rest are just silly films that will pass the time if you're in that sort of mood.
yes
I liked the one where he went AWOL, that was the living daylight wasn't it?
Now Dalton, he was quite a good bond I thought!
No, you're thinking of Licence to Kill
Much as I loved Dalton in Living Daylights, I thought he couldn't rescue Licence to Kill from general badness.
No.
But I feel the same about the old-styled bond too.
GET OUT
I've always been put off Bond by
the super cool agent with a quip for everything and loadsa women.
how can that possibly put you OFF something
Because the traditional movie Bond
is the exact opposite of me and it makes me hate him.
Bond needed saving from
the geriatric snigger fest it had become as Roger Moore went on far too long.
Dalton had no real charisma, Brosnon by and large did a good job but seemed a bit of a lightweight and was really just a younger version of the Moore character.
Daniel Craig is the first Bond since Connery who actually looks likes a double hard bastard who might be a bit tasty with his fists or a gun.
I asked my housemate who her favourite bond was
she pondered it for a second before looking up at me and said "Easy....James, James Bond"
Oh how we laughed.
probably not the *only* person
everyone raves about it
in my mind it has lost all of its charm.
ehh, i like it
This is the point though.........
it was a conscious decision.
