I'm still curious to know. Just asking. There's no article on it. I'd like to know because the Fast and Furious movies interconnect very well once Vin Diesel got involved. Of course Bond is a different story. Those like me who demand justice for OHMSS to have a true sequel haven't gotten one. FYEO got Moored on.
Lazenby and Rigg are very good together, as are Craig and Green.
I really like Vesper and Bond, but I give the edge to Bond and Tracy.
I feel this way too. It's just such a tragic scene... She is the one and only Mrs. James Bond. No way she'll be topped as a Bond girl for me.
But by the way: Alec's death was very sad. I liked him.
But although M's death was more affecting than the other two...
To me the death scene in SF feels like a younger man loosing his grandma. I love the way Craig gently covers her eyes and breaks down. There's that personal touch.
Vesper's death wasn't as unexpected, but watching her drown was pretty disturbing and shocking. Plus, Craig's acting during this scene was excellent.
The only death that significantly affected me was M's. I can't be the only one here that teared up when she died.
What the hell is wrong with these forums?
Come on now, you know Bond is destined to be single, so how can you NOT expect Tracy's death.
That's the point...you know she is going to die...and yet to see it come to fruition is still a shock.
Now M, THAT caught me off guard.
Still I was saddened as the film had done a good job, making the Bond-Tracy relationship believable, but I was relieved when the Bond theme was brought up full and we left the cinema with clear knowledge that Bond would continue as Bond. He would grieve off screen.
I wasn't very much affected by Bond-Vesper in CR, as the Haggis dialogue between the two, which helped build the relationship, was so retch inducing, that I had trouble caring about the relationship, that I knew was doomed anyway.
Still I was hoping he could pull her out of the elevator in time, and it was rather sad when he was left holding the limp body. That scene was well played.
I thought Craig oversold the "bitch is dead" line, but it was lifted from Fleming, so I am not sure how that line could be perfectly delivered. Maybe a little less aggressively might have worked better.
I was not at all affected by M's death. Not in the slightest. The whole mommy-M trust bs, that dragged thru both CR and QoS, was tedious in the extreme. And SF brings us even more Bond-M melodrama. Enough!!!!!!
When Dench-M went down, I was actually relieved. I would be much better with Craig as Bond, if all of his films weren't such soap operas. Groan!!
And it has nothing to do with Dench as M. Broz didn't have these torturous issues with her.
On of the most annoying aspects of Dench's M was her habbit of straying into the action and hogging the limelight. A very unfortunate trend that only seems set to continue. M should he desk bound - his/her days in the field are decades behind them.
@Timmer - totally agree. This has become the really nagging fear with the Craig movies - that they just increasingly become workplace dramas, about Bond negotiating his relationships with colleagues at MI6, rather than bedding the ladies and stopping the bad guy.
Maybe EON felt that they had such a fine thespian in Judi Dench, they did not want to waste her talents. I don't know....
