Yes, certainly in ‘The Night Manager’ with a hint of Daniel Craig.
I’m not going to disagree with anything above, as it’s all true IMO. That is why Connery is the best Bond IMO.
But, the box office results showed that Dalton was popular with the British audience, it’s with the US audience that he failed to gain a following. For all the reasons you list above.
I too have thought about him as a decent Bond candidate.
When he was young, I see what you mean.
When he’s older, he would make a good M too.
Great English accent and voice.
This is one of Roger Moore’s major strength’s, as well as being a master class actor in terms of screen presence and star quality.
Yeah no Bond film has yet been a disaster, it's all relative. Some are just bigger hits than others.
I'm not sure I've heard him do an English accent?
In Game of Thrones he has an English accent. I didn’t even know he was Scottish!!
I've never seen it, but just watched a few clips and he seems to be speaking in his normal Scottish burr to me. I thought you were the accent police! :D
So did I!? Ha ha.
I missed that Scottish burr completely. I thought he was English based on GoT.
Cubby was interested in him from 1968 on.
Indeed, that's not the same thing though.
On Dalton or who?
Dalton I believe. He was offered, or given his age, maybe just considered for Bond back in 68. Even in my dream timeline, that was much too early for Dalton to be cast.
I agree except on Moore, who I think maybe should have left after MR.
Maybe, but Fleming linked his novels together and I doubt he had them all planned out years in advance. I think if you're interested in hiring good directors you want to give them some freedom over the story, I don't know how much you can plan ahead.
Plans rarely work out for numerous reasons, all the same. The Craig era is an example of that. An idea that can be loosely followed is the best way to go out about it, as it gives you an out.
The plot holes in Skyfall and the Blofeld angle in SP obviously come to mind.
It certainly has been inconsistent, with high highs and low lows. A lot like the previous era, for me.
Exactly. I was just responding to a previous comment that the Craig era was clearly superior to the previous ones. I just completely disagree.
Well Since said it was superior to the bad ones, not to all of them; which doesn't seem too controversial to me! :) I don't really have a list of which is best myself, but I have favourites and generally enjoy them all for different reasons.
+1.
I personally could have done without the ‘Evil Step Brother’ behind everything bollocks, that was clearly bolted on in 2015.
This was the comment I was responding to:
'still is superior to the days of overly-silly and overly-reliant on gadgets and special effects'.
I disagree.
That’s true. Fleming definitely made it up as he went along.
GE was average, but solid with Brosnan’s best performance IMO. But what are the other high points of the Brosnan era? I’m just interested in your opinion, as to me the era is the low point of the series. Still entertaining, but still the worst (IMO) in terms of scripts, Directors, villains, Bond girls and tone.
