Craig, yes. But Dalton????
:D
Yes. Even if Craig is too dark and serious for my taste, he is better at the one-liners than Dalton. Craig's dry delivery seems to work fine.
ಠ_ಠ
Dalton. Is. The. Best.
I think Dalton is a really good actor, but perhaps he lacks the charm and elegance for the Bond part. This is especially visible since he arrived when Moore, who mastered these traits fully, retired. The stiffness that sometimes is visible was also a problem.
I still like his movies and performances anyway.
Very well said Fraulein. I confess to being guilty of rising to DaltonCraig007s and 007RogerMoores (who appears now to have cloned himself) trite comments rather than treating them with the disdain they deserve and just ignoring it. I have decided to just try and let these things go over my head from now - life is too short to waste your time trying to convert people who obviously are beyond redemption. Fair play to Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormons who go knocking on doors trying to do the same as it really is a thankless task which I've had a bellyfull of. DaltonCraig007 and Jedward enjoy your DAF and TMWTGG delusion whilst the rest of us continue to the promised land of Fleming and OHMSS.
Back on topic, whilst I do enjoy Dalton in TLD (less so in LTK), I think he is the one Bond that lacks that indefinable X factor in terms of screen presence. He is conspicuously an actor playing a part whereas I would say all of the other Bonds bring a big chunk of their own charisma to the part which is something that is essential for the screen Bond if the public are to take to them. Sean, Rog and Pierce had it in spades but so did Laz and if he had done another one I think the public wouldve warmed to him.
Craig has a bit less natural charisma than the others but he hits a fine balance between acting talent and screen presence whereas Dalton stepped too far towards serious acting which is good but the screen Bond does have to have that twinkle in his eye as well.
As for Craig, I feel no sense of charm or charisma from him, instead he comes across as a mindless athletic thug. Daltons Bond would be more calculating and tactfull, whereas Craigs Bond would cause all manner of mayhen to achieve his goal. Something I suspet isn't going to change in future films...
What do you mean by Jedward? And I am the clone, since Crab_Of_Doom is 10 minutes older than me.
Wouldve thought jedward would be your ideal choice to do the song for SF.
(Sorry I did say I would refrain from allowing myself to rise to their bait. Discipline Wizard, discipline.)
Ok, I see. I searched for Jedward and found out that they are two twin singers. Now I understand.
I'd boycott SF if Jedward were selected to do the song. Can't stand those two
~X(
I had never heard of them before, which probably indicates that they are not famous in Sweden. They are Irish, I gather.
They are Irish twins who are famous for not winning a UK singing contest called X factor, and they're also famous for RUINING AN AWESOME VANILLA ICE SONG!!!
I wouldn't go that far with craig, but I agree with Dalton. He had plenty of charm and showed it in some scenes, but he chose to play the part in a darker, more serious way instead.
For anyone who didnt know what the word 'oxymoron' meant thelivingroyale has just provided the OED definition for your erudition.
This alone is the definition of 'oxymoron'. Any positive word before Vanilla Ice's name is an oxymoron, unless "Dead Vanilla Ice" is what you're saying.
I like Vanilla Ice.
A Bond game is no substitute for a movie (as good as EON is, a movie should have been made instead). And Blood Stone isn´t even half as good as Moonraker.
Do you really think that 007 Blood Stone is better than the satellite laser in DAF?
That alone beats 007 Blood Stone.
However, the plot in the FRWL-game is better than the movie. I wish the movie was very similar to the game.
They are somewhat similar, but the game had a jetpack, the DB5 and many cool missions. And those big russian guards who can endure several headshots of every weapon.
They should have included the Octopus base in the movie. That sequence is really good, as is the showdown with Grant in some kind of a laser/grenade launcher/machine.
Mod edit: please avoid double posts by making use of the edit button.
I don't think it was. DAF and MR have bad moments, but the other 2 are good films. Bloodstone's plot was all over the place, the gameplay was un but I hated the plot.
007RogerMoore for once we are in total accord. Does this cataclysmic event herald the end of days?
Oh I hadnt seen your last remark there. The balance in the universe has been restored.
Talking of FRWL does anyone think a game based on a Rog film would be a winner, with Sir Rog himself doing the voiceover? I reckon he would be up for it.
My personal choice would probably be OP but commercially TSWLM would probably be wisest.
Plenty of scope for good game sequences - shootout on skis, in the pyramids and ruins, on the train. Then a driving scene followed by underwater driving scene (probably break up the two driving scenes by inserting a sequence where Bond docks the sub and investigates Atlantis before getting back in for the main underwater battle), the big battle on the Liparus (probably take it on deck as well like in the original script), then back to Atlantis for final fight with Jaws and Stromberg. All accompanied by Rogers warm, brown voice. Lovely stuff.
That game would have rivaled both EON and FRWL as the best Bond game.
And wow, you and I agree...WTF is happening? Perhaps it will be for the first and last time, unless you turn to "the dark side of 007RM and DC007", as you said it another thread.
