You know that DAD sold more tickets than CR?
Sorry box office does not make a movie automatically good.
The Brosnan era had lots of that too.
My point is the current era has yet to produce a second classic that will stand the test of decades passing and therefore will be considered in the heights of the ones I mentioned.
SP could be that one.
Said like a true Brosnan fan. How can anyway take your taste an opinion seriously with comments like this. Even the Brosnan fans I know wouldn't defend DAD than then put down Craig's tenure.
My opinion on the Craig era goes beyond recent interviews. What he plays, and his films, just aren't my idea of Bond. Yes, I do think any Bond actor should conduct himself with a bit of class when promoting the films (iirc, Lazenby's contract even had stipulation on how to behave in public). But even if Daniel Craig wore a halo in interviews, I would still think the same way about his era.
I can't comment on that, as I don't speak for other fans, I just give my personal opinion, as everyone else does.
I don't get what you mean by more of the same, but I will attempt to answer anyway. When I mean that he isn't for me, I mean that his take on Bond and his films are not my cup of tea. To me, his take on Bond is nothing more than a copy of Jason Bourne. But that is my opinion, and many here will disagree. There has also been too greater shift into drama, and recently Bond's past. Again, that is just my opinion.
That is a matter of perspective, not every Bond has to be a spy thriller, but in my opinion, there have only been a handful of spy thriller Bonds in the whole series, the last being TLD.
I don't have a crystal ball, so I won't post exactly what the future holds for Craig. But I will say that Dalton and Brosnan made Bond films. They might not all have been good, but they still feel like Bond films.
You're getting boring.
Obviously one of those fanatics that have to put down anything questioning their Saint.
My favourite by far is Dalton by the way.
Last time I Checked Daniel Craig was making Bond Films, and they still felt like watching Bond films. Maybe we should get Daniel to die his hair for you and ski on Cello?
Why would you use Internet Explorer?
I prefer Brosnan, feel he wasn't given the chance to shine. If Brosnan was given material like CR, he would've blown Craig out of the water, I don't care what the Craig apologists say.
First this:

Then this:
Truer words were never spoken.
Take That!...or a-ha!!...or Duran Duran!
The company computer not mine, I have no say.
Words cannot describe my disappointment with that film. Mediocre is a compliment.
He didn't do himself any favours with his dramatic performance there imho. In a way, it may have necessitated DAD, because EON perhaps realized the limitations of their man and decided to 'ham' it up for the next one.

RE: DC - see, he's not uttering profanities in that clip above, so he knows how to keep it together when he has to.
I see, my simpathy then.
Goldeneye was directed by the same mam as CR. Had one of the best original non Fleming scripts in the franchise. His tenure did not encounter studio issues until after his last film, Brosnan simply did not say I want it done this way or that way he turned up read a script looked cool and went home. He says himself he wishes he had spoken up and done things differently, that he remembers Goldeneye the rest is a blur...Craig the polar opposite threw himself in to it. He used his influence to draw directors, actors he wanted it done right or not at all. I dont believe Brosnan was given a lesser opportunity than Craig and answer me this why is it Sean Bean's performance puts Brosnans to shame? Bean blows him out the water. Bean should have been Bond instead.
Sarcasm? Not sure if serious.
No, Mr Bean. I expect you to die.
I was very disappointed with TWINE too back then and still find it one of the weakest of the franchise.
But Brosnan's performance had nothing to do, in fact it's the only thing (besides the PTS) that I really find terrific.
Apted failed miserably with TWINE, he clearly was wrong for Bond. And the script...well...typical P+W level.
What do you mean? What about?
Firstly, that's a matter of opinion. And secondly.... what on earth are you on about? I said in my last post in the other thread, which I asume you read, as you quoted it, but in case you didn't bother reading it, i'll quote it here:
See that, the part in bold? I'll say it again, I don't care that Craig is blonde. If his successor is blonde, I will give him the same chances that I will give an actor with black, brown or ginger hair.
If you don't like people complaining about Craig's hair colour, then I strongly suggest you go and be snarky to them, not me.
No I saw it and thought life is just too short.
That's not enough, I say 28 too so Craig has done more than Connery, ha!
After all there can't be enough technical arguments to praise him, ho!
