I think they should take a slightly different tack (like Moore vs. Connery) to avoid such impressions.
I'm just saying that I think it would be better if the next Bond were a little more different from Craig, otherwise the comparisons will likely be negative for him.
Craig has done the 'harder edged, broken and dark' Bond very well, and he has had the benefit of excellent scripts allowing such portrayal, due to being the 'reboot Bond'. The next chap is not likely to be so lucky in that respect.
You've made your point QUITE clear that you don't like Moore and his take on Bond in almost every post you've made. We get it already, anymore of this drilling and you're going to hit everyone in the Fusiform gyrus.
Meaning he will kill you.
I love all the Moore films, except for Moonraker. Can't blame me for that one. ;)
Oh I don't, I love all the Moore films except The Man With The Golden Gun. :P
Moore was not weak in my view. On the contrary. When he gave someone that stare as Bond before he put a bullet in them or kicked them off a cliff, it was effective. Scaramanga felt it at the table I'm sure.
I'm sure there are suave actors out there who can fight.
Agree.
Well, ok, and because of Christopher Lee.
...and Britt Ekland...
...and Lulu's great theme song...
but it's mainly because of Roger! :))
All of the above. Maybe except the Lulu song. Entertaining, but not among the best.
Maybe more than any other. There is that at least.
No, there's Moore stuff I like. Like the kicking the car off in FYEO, the plane jump gag is awesome in MR in the beginning. Oh, and I will say that there's the scene that always cracks me up where he kicks the fellow at the beginning of the karate match in, is it MWTGG?
A kindred spirit! As miniscule as it is, that is something.
That was boring.
I like Misson he's great as Ichabod but if people are having a tough time seeing Hiddleston as Bond then Mison isn't even worth considering. As he is now, he's definitely cut from the Roger Moore cloth.
Agree. Moore was a very different Bond than Craig and also Connery, but he never ever was a soft Bond. He is an example of how they could go with a very different type of actor than Craig's intense, darker, gritty bond. But EON will never cast an actor like Hiddleston who in interviews comes off like a, soft, eager to please puppy who is about as macho as Barry Manilow.
Whether the next Bond film is lighter, darker, whatever the tone, an innate masculine nature is still going to be the most important single quality a Bond actor must project not just on film as good actors can fake anything, but in the millions of interviews a Bond actor must give. Hiddleston is simply the current flavor of the month because of the tv series. He's about #22 in the "he'd make a great Bond" click bait sweepstakes. In March, we'll get still another actor touted in the press as the positively, already signed, everybody wants him, next sure thing.
That being said I don't see any reason to replace the MI6 crew, especially Q and Tanner. I like to see the familiar faces again, even if 007 is different.
