I agree on the film to film theory, I would be surprised to see him do more than 4. It's all about having the physical ability and having great scripts...if these are possible, he'll be there but how many times can that happen?
How many times can the planets align?
Also taking into consideration, the constant search for the perfect Bond film may end, for him, at SF, so why then continue?
Like any good actor, leave the audience wanting more. Can't see Craig denying himself that honour.
Quality not quantity.
That's what you do. You're clearly the childish one, because you let this get to you so easily. The only reason I'm even responding to you is because I find it as fun as this person:
He's very right about this.
You're the one carrying this on, because you believe I've somehow infringed upon your opinion-blaring, when I haven't at all. You stated your opinion, I stated mine, you got angry. I don't have a problem with your opinion at all. You, on the other hand, seem to have a problem with mine. That's a sad, sad thing. None of this argument would have happened at all if you didn't feel that somehow, just because I like Craig, I'm a damn moron. I happen to like his more realistic take on Bond because it's dark and hard-edged.
Well, these and age. You could be able to crush a girder with your forehead, but if you look like you're 97, you shouldn't be playing Bond.
With respect DC Royale probably has more colour in it than most of Brosnan's films. I don't really see how you can say its colourless with settings like the Bahamas and Madagascar.
Even Quantum, dull as it may have been, had more colour in it too.
So why did you say that I didn't like the film so obviously I didn't see the film ? I DID see CR multiple times, and I still don't like the film. So you can take your piss poor claims elsewhere. You are the one who was acting like an idiot, not me. I simply posted my opinion on CR, and you are the one who came here and claimed I didn't see the film, because to you there is NO WAY that anyone who saw the film didn't like it.
IMO DAD has much more colour than CR. The film was just so much more fun and entertaining. Yes you are right, the locations in CR are more colourful than DAD's cold Iceland, but IMO DAD retaliates with more fun, espacism, humour, memorable and colourful secondary characters.
Also the title of this thread really needs a question mark after it as it's all speculative at this point. :D
When you claim something about a film: back it up. I just pointed out so many examples against your claims, and where's your back up? I'm patiently waiting, and laughing all the way.
Well he looked like that in CR, he has that type of face, but yes, how he looks does come into it..sorry I thought was a given in my point making.
Good lighting and make up only goes so far. The sexy cragginess ,unfortunately in most cases, does not age well.
:D
So you must have the attention span of a 6 year old kid if you think a Bond film should have wall-to-wall action to not be boring... I happen to think the action in CR was utterly boring, uninteresting and unmemorable, apart from the crane fight. I do not have a short attention like you who needs a fight or guns firing every 2 minutes not to fall asleep. Maybe you should go watch Expendables 2 or Crank or Transformers 3 to have your daily dose of explosions and gun fired, and leave people like me who doesn't need action scenes every 2 minutes in a film.
The Miami action scenes was just boring beyond imagination. It went on and on and on and on, Craig running around, and it because boring real fast. This 12 minutes scene seemed to last forever, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Yes the poker game was interesting, but they had to keep people like you awake so they put more dumb and boring action scenes every 5 minutes. The final in Venice was again there to keep your attention span going, so another boring and useless action scene. The love story was just overly campy and corny... And I don't mean 'Moore-level fun camp', but 'stupid and boring camp.' Lines like 'you don't know what I can do with my little finger' are just completly cringe-worthy. They make lines like 'Yo Momma' pass for Oscar-worthy material. I never thought James Bond would act like a 12 year old falling in love... that made the character seemed like a total retard. Even Brosnan didnt seem so much annoying in TWINE.
I do hope they discuss Craig's future as Bond after this film though. If he wants to do more than four I hope it's settled on before Bond 24 begins filming. We don't need anymore expired contracts. Even if he did eight, that would mean we have a 54 year old Bond in the best possible situation. If that two year cycle is not kept to, we may end up with another pushing 60 and we don't want that again.
I also don't see all six Bond's getting together as Connery as retired, so how does Wilson and co. plan to pull that one off?
You Bonkers?
PS: I love TMWTGG actually. But can I hardly put it in the same list as those other cr*p flicks. IMO of course. I know opinions differ very much in what Bond films are concerned.
PS: My opinion again, not on you being bonkers of course, but on DUD being utter s**t.
Well I just think the last 2 films were too serious and dark. I prefer a good dose of fun, humour, escapism and entertainment like MR, DAD, DAF and YOLT... Also DAF in all it's camp and fun, is closer to Fleming than CR... IMO of course.
And @chuck007 : I could have liked the CR action scenes more if the Bond theme featured in them.
Well actually i still can manage to enjoy them without the Bond theme, but I think it would be a better experience if CR featured Bond theme in some scenes.
And maybe because I love OP, MR, DAF, TMWTGG and YOLT, I prefer when the action scenes have gags in them. Yes QOS had the old lady in the stairs, but I still think they miss the good old charm of the old films... Like the gun-totting grandma in GF, or Connery putting the flowers on Bouvar's body in TB...
No @0Brady, I didn't meant that putting the Bond theme during the action scenes of CR and QOS would make them less boring, IMO. It's just that they aren't fun. They are just no-nonsence scenes... and I prefer the more fun and humorous scenes... The chases in the Craig films just go on for too long, without any gags like I like the action in Bond films... I miss Connery dropping the flowers on Bouvar's body, or the gun-totting grandma during the car chase in GF... There a little charm in the old films that is nowhere to be found in the overly dark and serious Craig films. I just want the fun to come back.
PS: shades of the macabre and exotic, like the flowers in Bouvar´s body are wonderful, cringing one liners and ice wave surfing is not.
So, now I have a short attention span... Listen, dip-wang, I hate Crank, I never watch the Transformers movies for their action, and I'm looking forward The Expendables 2 because I like Sylvester Stallone. I never fell asleep during the movie (I've never fallen asleep during a movie, except when I was sick).
Oh, and technically, you're insulting my disorder: I have ADD.
Why does liking action mean I have a short attention span?
Ever fallen in love before, dip-wang? Love IS campy and corny to those viewing it from the outside. Have an open mind once in a while. And I ask you not to even get me started on the butchering of the English language that is "Yo momma"...
I´ll sign under that. Except the dip-wang part, no nedd for that, we´re all Bond fans with different opinions. No need to insult people on either side of those opinions. Hey, by all means call DAD or CR piece of s*it, but not the fan that is bashing or defending it. Right? The same goes for that "attention span" comment. But...I´m not a mod, just a friendly neighbour in this discussion.
And it seems that DC007 doesn't want the series to be taken seriously. He'd rather laugh at them then truly use them for the "escapism" he claims to want.
I actually laugh WITH films like DAD, MR and YOLT, and not at them. Sorry if you don't to the same.
And IMO the Bond franchise isn't meant to be taken seriously. For me the franchise should be populated only by MR's, YOLT's, DAF's, DAD's, TMWTGG's... For me Bond was never meant to be serious, dark and realistic. Even the Fleming novels are closer to TMWTGG and DAF than CR. I love to laugh and have fun when watching Bond films. I never took Bond for a serious, dark or realistic character of film. For me Roger Moore is the ultimate Bond.
The only reason I said "dip-wang" was because I couldn't say anything stronger. Even when I censor stuff, I get warned about it. By all means, we should return to the topic at hand and let DC007 sort out his personality defects on his own time and leave us alone.
But I'm still having fun!
Whatever rocks your boat...
There is NO indication at all, that he might plan to do that? I doubt, they are playing games - and then going for a number like 8 or even just 5 (if he was misinterpreted) wouldn't make sense just for the cause you mentioned.
Yeah, but think of the fun they'll have.
To each is own I guess, but that´s what´s fun about being a Bond fan, we each have our views on things. I happen to agree with Agent007391, but I respect your opinion as well DaltonCraig007, even if I think you´re bonkers. ;) Cheers old chap.
