    Dalton shamed the good name of James Bond.

    What does it say about us as 'fans' that this thread has 539 comments in 11 days (average of 49 per day) and is still going strong but the positivity thread only has only managed 81 in 4 days (20.25 per day)?

    Do we really prefer to slag things off 2.5 times more than we do to give praise about something we all, given we waste so much of our time here, presumably love?
    "Misery loves company" as they say.

    @TheWizardOfIce I think it's partially because we're all here we know that we all love James Bond. So lots of 'loves' are presumed.

    In part. But it's also so we can practice being evil safely. In other threads there'd be possible fights; here we can say REALLY negative stuff & totally get away with it (If we actually believe what we post or not).
    Playtime.

    Dalton may have wanted to bring Fleming's Bond to the screen but he overacted it and was saddled with the worst director of the series.

    John Glen couldn't direct a chicken cross the road.

    Glen was lucky Dalton didn't shoot him.

    I read somewhere they had a huge argument in LTK. Dalton
    Said he'd never work with him again,and pulled out of the film
    Glen was making about Columbus.

    :)) Dalton was Craig, before the world was ready.

    Except for the fighting. Not one memorable fight from the Dalton.

    No he didn't Moore was just an embarrassment to the franchise. He and EON only cared about making money and did not care that they were presenting an older, softer, puffy, drunken and semi-dirty old man.

    he's the reason people make fun of James Bond and lends new heights to the term comb-over.

    As this is a negative comments thread your post is of course valid.
    However, when was Moore's Bond drunken?
    Or puffy?
    That honour surely goes to Tubby Connery in DAF.
    As to EON and Moore making money, well that is the idea. Can't really take that from them.

    Tubby Connery in DAF looked like a drunken sailor who had seen better days about a decade prior. ;)

    Writing something like that...you're the one who should be ashamed.

    In another discussion it was said:

    4EverBonded said:
    positivity here:

    I enjoy the entire casino sequence a lot in Skyfall, including the komodo dragons (which are truly dangerous in real life). I have no problem at all with them being CGI.

    So much about Bond in casinos is good. I also love Bond's repartee with Eve throughout the casino, as well as of course the memorable and very well acted scenes with Severine.

    And all so gorgeously filmed.


    You are not alone. The only problem with the whole scene is...wait, this a a "positivity only" discussion, sorry.

    Here it goes; Why would Bond warn his opponent that the awfully big lizard was lurking just behind him, ready to attack? The gesture Bond made, poiting his finger at "the thing" is really weird and incomprehensible.

    Now that you mention it, yes, I thought that bit as pretty wierd too when seeing it in cinemas. I was not impressed with that whole scene, including the way it ended with MP saving the day and Bond's "circle of life" line. The rest of the casino bit was ok to me up until Severine leaves.

    That was the perfect time for a " Raised Eyebrow" perhaps ? :))

    I promise to be negative BUT even though I stand by my opinions I don't dislike Dalton as much as I let on. Its all relative though and compared to the other Bond's and other similar movies at that time both were severely lacking.

    Here you go! Go to 5:25 and watch the Moore flop about/roll around like a stuffed pastry:

    Wahey it's a welcome return for everyone's favourite line: 'flopping about on trains'!

    Not sure if I'm supposed to say this on this thread of hate and negativity, but I absolutely love this whole scene, including Barry's outstanding scoring, the infamous clown scene and the train fight. Thanks @doubleohdad for bringing a smile to my face.

    As it is a put down of sorts, I guess it's sort of negative...

    I'm happy that his flopping about gave everyone such pleasure!

    If you love this scene, there's a few Pink Panther films I could recommend to you :)

    He literally rolls over like a pastry!!!!!!!!

    Peter Sellers is not funny.

    No but Roger Moore certainly is. What is he, sixty with no grey hair?

    Actually I take it back, Sellers is brilliant, which is why the Moore wanted to be like him instead of James Bond.

    I always thought Moore was more like Cary Grant. Old school suave ladies man with a slight edge (which admittedly disappeared the older he got).

    That's it! Moore wanted to be Clouseau! Had to be, since he sure didn't want to play a serious James Bond.

    All the guy could do is literally quip and arch an eyebrow.


    And hit on very young women in a weird way.

    As far as AVTAK is concerned, I'm afraid I have to agree with you.

    Now, prepare yourselves for the absolute worst James Bond fight in history.
    They should play the Benny Hill theme over this!
    My god this is awful:

    @doubleohdad, I believe you are not using the proper examples to illustrate the point you're trying to make IMO. That is an exceptional fight of the highest quality, again with superb scoring and finished off with one of the greatest quips. All you're doing with these clips is to increase my opinion of Sir Moore.

    Lol, YOU CAN SEE THE BLOODY SET LIGHT REFLECTED IN THE SHOT!

    WHo knew the term debonair could come to mean out of shape and gassy when it refers to Roger Moore!

    Just…diabolical.
