James Bond

[Scorcher505]

I am yet to see the newest James Bond movie, but I am a huge James Bond fan. Can you please tell me if it is true that this is the best James Bond movie ever and if Daniel Craig is really as good if not better than Sean Connery?

IMHO, the best James Bond movie ever is Goldfinger, and there will never be another Bond like Connery.

I love the new James Bond, it's more gritty then the other movies, Bond actually bleeds and doesn't always look immaculate.

I'd say he's on a par with Connery.

i saw casino royale the other day. it was the first bond movie i ever saw :o i thought it was excellent! i'm not a fan of action and watched it because someone paid for my ticket... but it really was so good!!!! i highly recommend it. still cna't exactly get what his mission was. oh well..

I see all the trailers for it and it looks amazing, and then my family and friends say he is the best Bond ever... I wanna see it

Sadly I've only ever seen this and the Peirce era movies. So I can't give any comments about how he compares to Sean Connery. But I have to say that this was a great movie and despite my fears I felt it lived up very well to all the hype.

Seeing this one actually makes me want to go check out the old Connery ones so I can compare.

Sean Connery was and will always be the man

I've not seen the new one yet but I've heard good things about it.

My only gripe has to be something unrelated to the current movie where Daniel Craig (is that the new Bond?) said in an interview that he would like to do a gay scene in the next movie. I've heard he's done one or a couple in a few other movies. All I can say to that is... no.

I am a huge James Bond fan, have seen every movie except the newest one and the one with George Lazenby... having seen Daniel Craig in other movies, I fully expect him to be excellent as Bond... but there will never be another Bond like Sean Connery... he *is* Bond.
I was pleasently surprised by the reviews because I was expecting everyone to say it was a horrible movie...

Realy poor.

Poor bond.

Poor story.

even ian flemming said it was the worst one he written. Thats why it wasnt made into a film. The man with the golden gun is still realy good.

It was pretty good, good in that you get to see Bond not as the usual confident, ultra smooth, infalliable super secret agent. The only time you see him like this is at the very end when he says his name. It did seem to drag on a little bit, from the middle to the end, didn't have a nice flow, as far as movies go. Otherwise I thought Daniel Craig was a fine Bond.

This is actually not true. That was a referrence to another movie he is in, NOT James Bond.

Actually, you can find several articles of him discussing how he wants to do a gay Bond complete with full frontal nude scene.

" The revolution will not be televised. It will be in cinemas. And if Daniel Craig has anything to say about it, it will be gay. The new James Bond is lobbying to refresh the decades-old franchise by including a love scene involving Bond and another dude in the follow-up to Casino Royale. Craig is even willing to go full frontal, if need be. “Why not?” he says. “I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it.” Whether the companies whose product placements litter the screen would enjoy it might be another matter. Hell, I think it’s a good idea regardless. Bond movies have gotten so formulaic and corny that anything that breaks the monotony is welcome. However, I shudder to think of what future Bond boys will be named, considering the gems they came up with for the women.

Luckily, he has no say to what goes into Bond films. So hopefully, this will be left out.

I read an interview yesterday saying that his words were taken out of context and were really meant to go with another film he is working on, but I forgot where it was. I will quote it when I find it.
