Dan is a much more detailed and subtle actor than Connery.
That is the most hilarious piece of satire ever written on this forum. Thank you. This will keep me laughing for days.
Was it the mention of QOS...?
What if I said that I actually liked the scene where Bond drives Greene out into the desert and leaves him there? Which is a true, that is my favourite scene in the film.
Of course, He is and Connery would agree, I am sure. He knows, he is more of a Movie star then an actor.
But thanks anyway, for the laugh in return.

It's very telling when those who seem so critical of Craig previously pipe up that SPECTRE was his best film, it tells me you aren't a Craig fan really they just delivered a tick the box entry that echoed moments of the past.
@MajorDSmythe you are saying the film that is looking as the most devisive and controversial one is the one you preferred where Craig plays more like Brosnan and Moore than the Bond of the previous films.
Brosnan isn't the one who did grittier takes on the character Dalton did and the Bond that Craig is regularly compared to his Dalton because of this, to me it tells me allot that only one film and that film is the only one you really like.
If Dalton was in CR, QOS & SF you'd need have a street party.
Jason can go and watch Our Friends In The North and then come back and try to make that sentence have any credibility.
Connery is indeed a bigger movie star but as a character actor and range previous to Bond the series has never had such rich an actor.
The Joke is on you especially after that ludicrous Batman comparison.
Trying to get on topic what do guys think we will hear on this months 2017 conference call by Gary barber
Divisive... so it has split opinion between like/dislike? Then why the surprise that someone might like it? And i'm not suggesting that the film is perfect, just that SP is the Craig film that I prefer, it feels more like a Bond film than the previous 3. but there is still room for improvement.
No, but Brosnan had the global adoration that Dalton didn't. As someone else once put it, "Dalton had everything but an audience, Brosnan had an audience but nothing else." And I don't personally agree with the comparisons between Craig and Dalton. The former is more like the movie Bond as first seen played by Connery.
You've lost me there. Are you saying that with Dalton's lack of love from the public, I would be lucky to see Dalton in those films? If so, I don't know where that has come from. But I would refer back to my previous post on this point. Setting aside the lead actor for a moment, my criticisms of those films wouldn't change no matter who was Bond. You can believe that, or not. But if not, then clearly there's nothing I could say to convince you otherwise.
1. Campbell
2. Steven Soderbergh
3. Villeneuve
4. Nolan
I think that Campbell's needs it this time - a sort of redemption after some recent disappoints. If EON need a safe pair of hands, he'll certainly be in the running, I'm sure.
He truly would be a Bond stalwart then, along with Young, Hamilton, Glen and Gilbert - all of whom helmed at least 3 entries.
Yes, that is quite off. Craig is not "much more" in this regard.
Sean is plenty detailed and quite subtle enough.
Anyway, I can't really engage the discussion.
Sean created and defined the Bond screen persona.
A cinematic tour de force it was!
The real discussion IMO, is which of the other 5 has best carried on the legacy.
There is Sean, the iconic original, and then there are the rest.
Imo, Laz and Craig are the two best of the rest.
Dalts and Broz were adequate, even sometimes very good.....and then there is Rog. He of the great screen presence, unflappable yes, charming yes, rogue-ish, but not terribly convincing as 00 dangerman. Still, he made some great Bond movies and like the other 4 successors, certainly had his moments.
If they make a stripped back standalone film - Yes.
If they make an epic film on the scale of SPECTRE, probably not.
If it's stripped back either Villeneuve or Campbell could do it justice. Soderbergh could give us something Hamilton like (quirky).
I'd love to see Campbell go for the hat trick, but only if he gets to bring on a new Bond again though.
Why you cling to this weak assed hope that Turner will become Bond and Campbell will direct, giving us a GE/CR type highly praised Bond film. It's okay to have an opinion. But the incessant harping on about it everyday is wearing a little thin.
No evidence to suggest that Craig isn't coming back. None!
Till the time where actual news comes from EON, Daniel Craig is Bond in Bond 25.
