Today I guess that would be a misconception. I see Goldfinger constantly being accused of being overrated and one of the weakest Connnery films. Hard to say what the most popular film among fans is today... maybe From Russia with Love?
I'm 98% sure Tomorrow Never Dies was the first Bond film I watched in full. A few Spike TV marathons later and I finally realized that it was a series that went on for awhile. I didn't associate the Brosnan films as Bond films. I thought at first that they were different things until TND came on during one of these marathons and then it clicked. If I had never watched those marathons I could easily see myself not being such a hardcore fan and being convinced that Brosnan was the only real Bond, and that maybe GE was first.
It's more naivety than ignorance. I wouldn't be too offended by people with these misconceptions.
This is now a misconception now, most definitely.
And rightly so, I'd say.
It is a correct misconception?
I don't know, I'm a big Bond fan and unaware of how a more casual watcher of the films would view Goldfinger. I know it's common word of mouth that it is the Bond film to beat all Bond films in some places simply because that is the excepted word for years that a lot of people seem to get behind. It's sort of "cool" to call it the best, though some that say that may not have even seen it. Who knows.
;)
not anymore, unfortunately.
This is the best bit though, the reviewer claims that QOS did the revenge angle much better years later! They even give that film 5 out of 5 and cannot understand why it was slated by critics on release! Idiots.
And QoS isn't even a bloody revenge film, at least not for Bond.
This is NOT a misconception. It is obviously debatable, but the movie is hailed by many as the best Bond movie, including people attached to the franchise (it was Sean Connery's favourite). And, for the record, I do consider it the best Bond film AND I easily sit through it.
Same here...its #1 on my list as well,a brilliant film.
The Orient Express scenes are priceless.
That's called incoherency or hypocrisy, not misconception. Which is even worse.
It can be if you equate taste and quality. One can find FRWL boring, yet still hail it st the best Bond, or one of the best. I don't like Marcel Proust, yet he is a great writer, maybe the greatest French writer ever. People can prefer Brosnan movies to the classics of the franchise, it only becomes a.misconception when they think they are actually superior.
Oh, it's the same old tripe from DoggieGalore. This comment is of no surprise.
Yes, that one baffles me aswell. By coincidence the first two actors to portray him were bald/had bad hairgrowth, and suddenly its a defining trait for the character...? I whonder if Fleming would have approved or not?
Kudos to Fleming for writing the novelization for "Casino Royale" 53 years before the movie came out, then.
It seems that baldness is the defining trait of Blofeld for many people here, hence they suggest bald actors, or actors who once in their life shaved their head for one role or another.
