I agree I think Craig should have left
So how about everybody stops bleating and acting like petulant four year olds and starts looking forward to what we are actually about to be delivered?
I'm getting mightily sick and tired of entitled cry babies banging on about Craig's deficiencies/flaws and putting forward other names - Cavill, Turner et al - as if they would be some sort of 'fantasy' casting and thinking that all would be perfect with them in the role.
Well, I've got news for you - they wouldn't be perfect and there would still be issues with the production and/or the finished movie, even with one of these fan-boy wet dreams in the role.
Craig has been magnificent in the role, despite the deficiencies in a couple of his entries (SP being the most glaring), and it's unlikely we'll get another actor of his calibre as Bond for the foreseeable future.
So why not be grateful for what we have, while we have it - and stop throwing our rattles out of the pram every time it appears the production doesn't appear to be heading the way we like (cos, guess what - we're not making the film, other people are, so get over it and get over yourselves) .
Definitely.
With you on that all the way, guys. Seems there are some sensible, sane people on here.... unlike some who just spew out drivel (eg., 'I think Craig should have left' and 'Definitely').
For the record, Craig is terrific as Bond and if you don't like him, well tough.
I was trying to explain myself and it went not so well
@Birdleson oh ok
Same happened with me
However, I stand by my comment that, whatever your personal view on the matter, DC is still Bond and will be in B25 - some positivity about the upcoming movie would be a good and welcome thing, IMHO 👍
Well said!
That said it can only get better after SPECTRE, if they cannot manage that the franchise deserves to put to sleep.
My only concern is the gunbarrel, which i know some fans think is silly to get worked up over but to me it's important and I honestly don't have the faith in them to get it right anymore. There's always something (end of the film, crap design, stupid pretentious quote, etc) and it's the one thing I don't think Craig himself has ever nailed.
It wouldn't suprise me if there's no Gunbarrel. They've mucked about with it so much in the last few films they'll probably ditch it altogether for this one.
I kinda like that with the Craig films there is no uniform formula like with previous actors. Like how Craig has had a brand new version of the gun barrel in every film so far instead of just using stock footage like his predecessors. Every bit of iconography is tweaked to the point we’re still debating if there will be a gun barrel at all, and now whether Bond or Nomi will have it.
If Nomi has the gunbarrel then i would feel EON really has lost the plot.
Do they really want to piss off the fans that much?
If that's happening then that's another reason I wont be going to see it.
It doesn’t seem to take that much to piss off a subset of Bond fans, to be fair. I still remember the reaction to Judi Dench being cast as M “Bond would NEVER listen to a female boss! The producers are just pushing an agenda!”
Other than that, I am most confident Fukunaga's gonna smack this into orbit. Reminder here:
Nuff said.
:))
Having Nomi do the gunbarrel is rather different to having a female M. (I don't remember that many protest about it but we didn't have the good old internet back in 95)
I can just imagine the stunned reaction from casual cinema goers as Bond 25 opens with Nomi striding across the screen to the Bond theme before firing her gun.
First confusion and then howls of derisory laughter.
I don't think it will happen but then i never expected them to make Blofeld Bond's stepbrother either...
And what is a 'subset' of Bond fans exactly. Every franchise has it's fans and they usually feel pretty strongly if they think their franchise is being messed with.
