    Who am I to argue your personal feelings. ;)

    What ever makes you happy.

    Haha, probably my overactive mind. I just don't find it hard to imagine Moore's MR Bond deciding to come out of the closet after becoming bored following years of spying and womanising:



    Both Lloyd and Bond in MR don't seem all that different.

    From what I've seen from most people around here, it would be controversial for me to say Skyfall is one of the best Bond films. I've seen more people putting it down that praising it for the last year or so, but I still love it and consider it one of the all-time greats. People complain about stuff like plot holes, but big deal, every Bond movie (and most fictional movies I know) have them.

    I think the massive ammount of hype surrounding the film meant that there was more of a backlash against it. I agree that it's brilliant. I think it's a top ten film and Craig's best Bond movie yet.

    I don't think I'll ever understand why some people prefer QOS. To each his own I guess and obviously everybody has their own opinion, etc, but I think SF is a better movie on pretty much every level (apart from the score and the fight scenes).

    I must agree the score was wasn't my favorite (I liked a few tracks, mostly just near the end though), and some fight scenes could have been better (The Patrice one was neat though). QoS is definitely the weakest of the 3 so far to me, but still really good. I still prefer CR over both actually, but enjoy all 3, and it seems like Skyfall is the most underrated (or perhaps tied with QoS).

    Thunderball is a completely overrated film which was just mediocre from start to finish . Moonraker is the 4th best in the series behind Casino Royale, Goldfinger and Goldeneye in my opinion. World is not enough and Licence to kill are great bond films and DAF and You only live twice are absolute bores. All in my opinion

    Welcome to the community! I agree with the Thunderball, TWINE and LTK parts you said.

    Wow.I dont know how you could have gotten that impression from Moores Bond, and from Moonraker? The one where he sleeps with a record amount of women?

    Yeah I know he does, but there just seems to be something shall I say...happy about his portrayal. As I said before he seems kind of similar to the character he played in Boat Trip at times. In an alternate universe the Bond from MR would go on to become Lloyd . He'd get bored with women ;)

    You're not including Grace Jones in that are you? ;-)

    Iv always gotten the sense that Craigs Bond is the one with a slightly homosexual vibe.Heck he even seems to enjoy Silva feeling him up in SF!

    Hmm...I see your point, but Craig at least had a toughness about him.

    The cap Connery wears on the boat in FRWL makes him look like Popeye.

    I thought the same thing!!! That was hilarious.

    As for all the homosexual stuff about Bond, I don't believe any of it, especially not Craig's. He was only deflecting the sexual intimidation Silva was trying on him. Pretty obvious if you think past it IMO.

    I always thought the scene with Silva was funny. I remember people laughed at it in the cinema. Actually Silva seemed the one with the homosexual vibe rather than Bond, who flinches a bit when Silva touches his face.

    That was some creepy stuff. Bardem is a great actor.

    - Casino Royale has the most embarrassing dialogue of the series: "I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours." Someone got paid to write that?

    - The series didn't need to be rebooted, they just needed to recast, and make Bond#21 as a spy thriller. I would still like to see this, but I won't hold my breath. Maybe with the next actor.

    - Keep the saccharine sound of Michael Buble away from Bond.

    - QUANTUM are a bland substitute for S.P.E.C.T.R.E

    - Some of the Gardner and Benson books should be adapted. I think High Time To Kill would be the easiest to film.

    - There really is no reason why the gun barrel could not have opened up the last 3 films. Were will it be next time, 38 minutes and 17 seconds into the film? Wouldn't surprise me.

    - Bond should be allowed to smoke, it's an integral part of his character.

    - The Tennyson quote was out of place in SF.



    Fear not, more will follow...

    Here's mine:

    - DCINB fans are the most embarrassing of the Bond fraternity.

    Well, I don't THINK so! DCINB fans are EXCELLENT! They have a bold Fleming-esque perspective others seem to sorely LACK! How can you guys make fun of them? Nothing better to do???

    Now wait- that does stand for Dalton Could Incredibly Nail Bond, right-?
