Classic Bond Forum

The last four films are very weird. Barbara Broccoli gained control of the Bond series when various people passed away. She then insisted on casting her friend Daniel Craig and using a warmed up Bond origin idea of Michael G. Wilson's. Casino Royale was regarded as one of the greatest films ever mad...

I thought the first five Bonds were all wonderful.

I see Daniel Craig's interview style where he swears and pretends he does not like making Bond films and wants to leave the role has come back to haunt him. :lol: When he was cast as Bond I was annoyed as he is a dour actor who does not look the part. He is also a luvvie actor who takes himself seri...

Regarding Craig......i see you all still love him here.........not! :D ..............i wonder how long he will carry on in the role? Daniel Craig: A) cannot find work outside of Bond and everyone seems to want him to do the role into his eighties B) gets masses of praise everytime he plays Bond, wh...

, and also how about seeing Bond enjoy a slap-up meal for once, or bring some of his sophistication back, being a connoisseur of fine wines, etc. We always read about the exotic meals Bond would eat in the novels, how about now seeing some on screen. Daniel Craig looked awful eating dinner in Casin...

These men are a Batman villain, a 70's game show personality, and the current James Bond can you tell which one's which? http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/09/30/1412070160793_wps_26_Celebrities_at_Chiltern_F.jpg https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSxHqBgESO4uJNaHv77YkL7vV-7uIBtd...

I've read some November Man reviews and they seem to be a bit sniffy, attacking it because it is a spy/action film. Of course when Daniel Craig does the same thing every three years his film is regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.

When Craig was cast I though he would make a few Bonds then move on as I though he was an arty actor. Strange that he has given up acting apart from Bond. He now seems to co-produce the Bond films and is paid an absolute fortune for them. Other actors - such as Brosnan - love acting. It looks like C...

I thought he was a bizarre choice when he was cast. James Bond is tall and handsome with some charm. Also Casino Royale was to show a young Bond on his first mission: so why was Craig cast? I joined the MI6 forum to take part in the debate and criticise the casting. Daniel Craig was a very divisive ...

I used to love the "James Bond Will Return" line at the end of the credits. Of course now he probably won't return.

Do they still do this with the Daniel Craig films? I've only watched them once and did not watch all the credits.

I bet the Daniel Craig fans will say: "This is Fleming's Moneypenny".

Broccoli wants him for another DECADE or more Captain :!: :shock: The series is dead. Also when we were posting on the old MI6 James Bond fan forum in 2006 the Craig fans said Brosnan had to be sacked as he was too old and looked ridiculous in Die Another Day. In Bond 24 Craig will virtually the sa...

Just confirmed by 007.com: Bond 24 to be released autumn 2015. Craggy, Mendes and Logan are all returning, I definitely won't be. Sorry, posting links is a pain on my phone, but the story is not difficult to find if you need more information. Sent from my GT-S7500 using Tapatalk 2 I have given up o...

I wonder if Barbara Broccoli has other actors in mind? Cubby Broccoli talked to about 500 actors about playing Bond - although many actors may have over played Cubby's offers for their biographies.

In 2005 when rumours of Daniel Craig's casting of Bond emerged he received abuse on the Bond forums from people who subsequently defended him when he was cast. For example the person who runs the Dr Shatterhand site said a person who looked like Craig would not be cast but then Shatterhand (the pers...

I'll take entertainment over art. Personally I enjoyed watching the Cubby Broccoli extravaganzas at Christmas, Bank Holidays and summer evenings on ITV and will leave Daniel Craig's "arty" take on Bond to his fans.

I love all the Bonds and films before Craig (although of course I have my favourite films) . I thought Bond was a cult, fun series where the same film was essentially remade again and again with the same elements. Now the series as been rebooted and I'm told that those old films were awful. To be ho...

Many have said Skyfall is a strange film. It's strangeness can be seen as positive or a negative. I see it as a negative but those fans of the the new type of Bond films see it as a positive thing. I'm not such a big fan of Craig because he lacks the looks, height and charm to be Bond. He looks awfu...

Pierce Brosnan was hailed as the best Bond since Sean Connery. His films were well received and seen as an event in the same way they Daniel Craig's are. To suggest that the James Bond series would have ended with two more Brosnan Bond films is ridiculous. and I hate these historical revisionists wh...
