Daniel Craig confirmed for 2 more Bond films...
- Thread starter Michael Bergeron
- Start date
I was raised on Bond... Sadly I was raised during the Moore years primarily.
The writing in the films now is FAR superior to any Bond film of that era. The films are also better acted then they have been since Goldeneye.
The only thing that threw be a bit off was the editing in QOS. Otherwise Craig is the most solid Bond in a long time. REALLY looking forward to Skyfall!
He is a good bond, he's very much the bond of the novels and even the Connery years. Oddly enough my dad would put on the Connery movies way more than the Moore ones when they were on tv when I was younger. Let's not also forget the Casino Royale with David Niven as it's a classic lol. I actually have the dvd that comes with an old 1950s live tv broadcast of Casino Royale that has Peter Lorre in it.

Craig is my favorite. Sorry Sean. Moore I liked until I watched Sean, then I didn't like Moore. Then a few years ago I saw Moore in an interview and as a person I thought he was fantastic. Still Craig is my favorite.
I have that same DVD! :lol
I try my best not to pick on Moore but he is my least favourite. You have to give him credit though, if it weren't for him I don't think the franchise would have lasted through the 70's.

Glad to hear it. I enjoy Craig as Bond just as I enjoyed Connery (up until Never Say Never Again) and Moore (up until A View to a Kill). I enjoyed Dalton as Bond even though the movies weren't the best Bond movies ever. I liked Brosnan (up until Tomorrow Never Dies).
I didn't even mind Lazenby.

Connery will always be my #1 choice for Bond. He just encapsulates everything about the character. I would go so far to say that Craig is my second favourite though, he's got the role down pretty well.
After that probably Dalton, Lazenby, Brosnan, & then Moore.
I generally leave Niven & Sellers out of the picture. :lol
Sadly I think Connery jumped the shark with DAF. I agree with you on Brosnan though, the only one of his I really like is Goldeneye.
Lazenby actually left IIRC. Got some bad advice I think...

I know what you mean about DAF but I actually enjoy it as a comedy. :lol
Slightly off topic but does anyone else miss Desmond as Q? I always get the creeps when in his last appearance (which was to be him retiring as Q) he talks about having a way out only to have him die in that accident during post production.

Don't get me wrong, there isn't a single Bond film that I wouldn't sit down and watch right now. Just as far as pecking order goes I certainly prefer the "good" ones. 
I miss him, but that was likely to be his last film anyway. Cleese was clearly being prepped as his replacement.
I love John Cleese, I really do, but bringing someone like him in to the role was a big part of Brosnan's jumping the shark I think.
He would be very out of place in the Craig films.

I'm happy with this. I think Daniel Craig is a great Bond. Not quite Sean Connery, but hey, not many men are.
Connery is not a mere mortal! :lol
