Dalton is honestly my favorite but that is largely due to him not going against type like Craig did in the Mendes duology
Craig's entire tenure should of not only been based in fleming but had fleming titles for each of the films as well
Mendes was a mistake for the Craig era...
Tom hardy would be a good bond
I hate when the novels are period peices I want to know what bond is doing now
The video games were underrated
The Hildebrand Rarity could of worked and still could work as the title of a bond film
Worse than 2008 - present?
A lot worse to me personally. SPECTRE was a tad average (and the Step Brother plot was awful). But I still prefer the Craig era by far. Especially the perfect Casino Royale and enjoyable QoS and SF.
I loved LTK and GE and the other films were a drop in what I deem as quality.
I can’t deny Brosnan’s popularity with the general public and fans at the time (and now) though.
I dont.He lost his wife AND his leg.He should be depressed and/or suicidal.I understand that the creators wanted the film to have a happy ending
Its not controversial to say Dalton is your favourite.He has a lot of fans here.
Dunno about Craig era based in fleming,either way his tenure has gotten worse over time ( hows that for a controversial opinion ).
Well the Goldeneye game is certainly not underrated.Its considered one of the best ever.
Agree about Hidebrand rarity ( Be difficult to make a song about it though! )
That's what makes it a controversial opinion, isn't it. ;)
They'll have to wait until after Craig is done to use Hildebrand Rarity, which won't be much of an issue now of course.
You only say that now, but if it gets picked it’ll eventually be normalized and seen as “Bondian” just by association. Much like so many other Fleming titles.
If the producers want a Fleming title, there are still plenty of chapter titles that would suffice.
The fact that it is possible does not mean it should be done... The world survived WW2. I still don't want it to be repeated...
Absolutely no contest. Just saying that the producers are rather flexible in that regard.
I only say not because the term already exists in the Craig continuity. Once he's done though, fair game.
Bar ‘007 in New York’ any Fleming title is good with me.
Same here. And I agree that The Hindebrand Rarity is a good title. Quantum of Solace too, regardless of what one may think of the movie itself. Beside, it would not be too difficult making the fish an element of the plot, if only as MacGuffin.
Still, while not particularly a great title, I'd prefer it over 007 in New York.
Still I eagerly await the day Risico makes it to the screen. That and The Property of a Lady.
I’m obsessed with having Fleming titles and every last plot point and character should be ‘mined.’
I’ll counter with saying that historically, the Fleming titled films are the better films.
I agree with that.
Controversial opinioon:
I like OHMSS far more than I like DAD.
The screenwriters would have to come up with a character called Hildebrand and concoct something to become the Rarity. Property of a Lady sounds more promising although it was used in OP.
It wouldn’t even have to be a fish. You could simply change what the title refers to. Just as Moonraker was originally about a missile and then the movie changed it to a space shuttle.
Gotta join in on the bafflement @Revelator had over QOS never even bothering to explain the title. You could have had Mathis coin that term. In fact, I actually expected it to be him to do that before seeing the movie and was surprised that it never happened.
Actually, the most baffling thing was naming the organization Quantum. That was just stupid, because it inadvertently confuses the title of the film where you can now read it as TERRORIST ORGANIZATION OF COMFORT. Seemed like nobody at EON thought anything through. And the naming of the villains “Quantum” must have happened late into production because they originally started shooting before the film even had a title. That probably explains why the only two instances a character says “Quantum” was ADR. Although there’s the “Q” lapel pins, I dunno how far into production that was.
If it is only Fleming used it. Ha ha ha. Personally, I loved the title for the film.
Hildebrand's Antiques and Rarities was an MI6 safehouse.
Lol Fair enough!
That is not a worthy comparison. OHMSS was based on a full novel. That is completely different.
