Disagree- based off the examples everyone else already pointed out, it wasn't the 'most violent' so much as it opened the floodgates for more violence!
But @Baltimore_007, that plan is effectively thwarted by Bond and thus isn't something we experience. Its violent nature is only suggested. :-)
Indeed. I concur.
<font color=blue size=7><b>Roger Moore's characterisation of Bond was the most "hit and miss".</b></font>
Thank you, @BAIN123 for the suggestion.
Agreed. Connery peaked and then steadily declined. Moore was up and down and all around. Dalton was fairly consistent and I believe the same can be said for Craig. I think that Brosnan did improve over time even though the quality of his films were declining.
Agree but only just! It just got a little too silly as the movies went on.
<font color=blue size=7><b>A Bond girl preferably looks slightly younger than Bond.</b></font>
George Lazenby was the youngest Bond (28 iirc) and he did look quite young, so a woman looking the same age or even a little older than him would be fine. Whereas if you have a Bond that looks older, then yeah, I think you need a younger looking girl. Bond actors can carry on into their 50s but I wouldn't like to see a Bond girl over 40.
Honor was older than Sean, right? :)
I don't mind if the Bond girl even looks slightly older. Not a LOT older. Not a LOT younger either
Well if the story calls for it....
;)
:D
Disagree. It's all about the character? And who is the best actress for the part regardless of her age?
<font color=blue size=7><b>Bond films are rarely career launchers (for the non-Bond cast).</b></font>
I tend to agree with this thesis although recently the Bond ladies are having a little more success compared to previous actresses from the past.
I think the casting agents look for good character actors and not superstars or stars in the making. I had actually read somewhere that UA didn't want a Felix Leiter to upstage Bond. Hence no more Jack Lord after the first one. Today that thinking doesn't exist.
Well he has not got his moms ears.
