Its weird, it kind of feels a bit "second fiddle" compared to other elements of the film to me (like Bond's struggle to get over Vesper).
It's an underlying element, I'd agree.
With SF a lot of people may call the "Mcguffin" plot generic but it works better at setting up a threat and being the catalyst for the REAL story (M's downfall).
True. I suppose what I mean was that some people complain that the "list" plot wasn't really followed through when that wasn't in itself the main story. It does however set the main story up well.
I'm probably not making much sense now :(
:\">
Yeah. But @Mr_Sterling just skipped over Greenes plan even though he was pointing out how simple the film was, so I think my argument still stands, lots of people had trouble following the story (which to be honest didn't really intrest me anyway).
I have nothing against them but I find the two very similar.So i vote for Craig
I can understand why a snob like Fleming would be critical of Connery. He was too working class to reflect the troubled but "gentlemanly" Etonian of the books. I suppose same goes for Craig but what they may lack in terms of looks they make up for in terms of screen charisma.
Let's say Connery then Dalton had the right feel about the films. They were more and most believable as "Agent 007", while Craig in his 2 first, slightly in "Skyfall" ; was and now is more "A British secret agent acting like a Russian one". It's my opinion.
I agree 100% with "Thelivingroyale" and "OO7RogerMoore" analyses ! Sorry, but I don't see neither feel Craig is themix of all the Bonds. ?!
But at the end of the day there's only so much that can be done, by the time Brosnan became Bond they'd had the all rounder, the comedic Bond, the dark Bond, etc. So I think Brosnan and Craig are like past Bonds but that's fine.
That's what I think. People keep going on about how every Bond should do something different but really there's only so much you can do.
I think we've defined a reality here.
Connery was cynic, Moore a joker, Dalton had some punching lines too in his way, quite arrogant indeed, while to me, Craig tried to be cynic but became arrogant. Lazenby just different...
