Yes, yes, and yes.
I think this is basically what people are saying when they say they just want M, Moneypenny, and Q at the beginning of the mission, and then for Bond to get on with it. Frankly Moneypenny could have been dropped in CR permanently and I don't think the series would have lost anything.
I agree, she adds nothing. I don't mind MP being in a Bond film, she is part of the furniture afterall, but why could she not just be there as opposed to having this convoluted backstory? From field agent to secretary? Please. Eve should have just been an MI6 operative and been killed by Silva on the island along with Severine(or in her place perhaps).
Tanner also has become redundant. He was like a spare part in SP! Fiennes is great and I think Wishaw is probably a bit too good to be used in a cameo. Too many famous faces I suppose!
The ones that never worked for me are:
1-Roger Moore's Live and Let Die look during the Mrs. Bell scene.
2-Timothy Dalton's Moroccan look in The Living Daylights.
3-Daniel Craig's outfit during the night in Bahamas, Miami and even Venice in Casino Royale.
--The Haitian outfit in Quantum of Solace.
--The beach outfit in Skyfall, which endures during his encounter with M.
--The Moroccan outfit in Spectre.
Oh I think others have been saying it aswell!
To add to what should never be seen in a Bond film again; HEINEKIN. Bond should never, EVER be seen with a Heiny in his hand. I know they have a deal but Bond would rather drink urine.
A "dirty martini" isn't a commercial deal, though. I think it's an attempt to give Bond a pun with a bit of sexual spark. It doesn't really work.
Agreed. Tom Ford's stuff is 'faux-classy' and it just doesn't suit the character.
Utterly unacceptable. Like removing the slide whistle from TMWTGG I would be willing to pay good money to someone who can tweak the audio and change this to '00 section' when I get my bluray.
I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the movie, but that part they should have left out. Fleming would have been furious.
I honestly think he would have called Craig too working class for the role in 2006.
He probably would have. He also thought Connery was too working class, but he proved him wrong. As did Craig to a certain amount. But stuff like the Heineken/scorpion scene in SF are better left out.
I don't recall him eating or drinking anything decent in any of these films. Did he have a 'Hmm, Royal Beluga, north of the Caspian' moment?
But 24 million budget for a poor car chase is something I would not mind seeing ever again. Spend the money on something exciting otherwise the franchise will bleed slowly to dead.
CR probably has the closest of these moments ("skewered. one sympathizes"). I think Craig Bond's snobbery is pretty well articulated without the need to go this further step, but I wouldn't mind if it was there. People must just have some aversion to Heineken.
He is a spy with a license to kill!
And if he is send out to kill somebody he is.........?
A state sanctioned assassin. What is your problem with that label?- Does that make your hero a tainted one, if you do not like that then you've missed one of the messages DC's 007 has tried to bring across.
Get back to making the 00 Section about secret agents and stop rewriting it as the 00 Programme with simple assassins.
Bond wouldn't drink it, end of story. There is nothing else to be said about it. Smoking is totally different, it's not considered classy at all anymore and for good reason. Smoking was in vogue during the 20's-70's.
If you are blase about specific character traits then it never ends and you lose touch with the original copy, and then Bond might as well be anybody or anything. Fleming gave Bond very specific characteristics and quirks for very specific reasons. It won't matter to the casual moviegoer but to some of us it does.
