I'm going to spend the whole movie trying to decide who's more attractive: her or Daniel Craig.

Ticket please!

Unless you're Steve Jobs. Then it's triple-oh-wow.

kronicfeld: Skyfall? Is this a Bond movie or an Elder Scrolls game?

Indoril. Nerevar Indoril.

the problem with Quantum is that it came after Casino Royale, which was awesome. in comparison it is shiat, but it's about average as far as bond movies go.

You're all wrong. License to Kill was the best Bond anything ever.

Dalton was a consummate Bond, and LtK did the "Bond bent on revenge" angle better than Craig. Sanchez was the first sensible villain: he wasn't trying to blow up the planet or something ridiculous, he was just trying to run a drug empire. The Brosnan movies immediately devolved into blockbuster schlock. All flash, no substance. I advise anyone who's been soured on Dalton because of The Living Daylights to watch LtK and judge it on its own merits.

Though I wil say if Dalton had stayed on for Goldeneye, I'm fairly certain the world would've imploded from awesomeness.

I'm going to have to agree with all of this.

This, License to Kill was the closest film to the Ian Fleming novels and Dalton was the best Bond. Craig in Casino Royale was very close, but it's not License to Kill.

Everyone is going to hate on Dalton and Craig and go "but bu Connery!" He was overrated, hell George Lazenby did a better job than Connery or Moore.

Yep, seen them all, read all the books written over the years and I'm sticking with Dalton as the best James Bond.

Which one has the 30 minute grenade fight? There are in a sub port or something.

I have watched Ronin 3 or 4 times. Can't seem to get into Bond flicks...With a name like Berenice, i'm willing to wager this girl looks verynice! Also, fark i am disappoint.(no pics yet)

Actually, On Her Majesty's Secret Service was the closest to the novels AND the best Bond flick.

Connery, then Craig, Brosnan, Dalton, Lazenby and Moore at the bottom.

There you go. (And Dalton is only that far down due to his two movies being a weird mix of remnants of Moore-era silliness and trying to go back to the book grittiness of the character, and Dalton's excellent performance gets lost in it.)

RexTalionis: queezyweezel: I own all of them. Casino Royale is so good that it almost makes up for all the Pierce Brosnan crapfests.
Daniel Craig is a better Bond than Connery. I was on the fence for a while, but after Solace, Craig is Bond.

Quantum bored me so much, I don't think I've ever seen the whole movie in one sitting. I think I like Connery better.

I hated "Quantum" the first time through. It was much better on a second viewing. I think most people see the shaky-cam, quick-cut chase scene at the start and just give up. It gets much better, imo.

Underrated, but the BEST? Can you send me some of what you're smoking?

For an objective assessment of Bond movie quality I made this list a while back. Enjoy:

I believe the point of the whole thing is getting lost in the discussion of Bond minutiae.





/her eyes remind me of Eva Green's. NOT a bad thing!

Gunny Highway: Which one has the 30 minute grenade fight? There are in a sub port or something.

"The Spy Who Loved Me".

It's funny, I grew up on the Roger Moore Bond and loved them as a kid (yearly Guild Theater Bond festivals were a highlight of my childhood). But like most people I find that those movies are REALLY cheesy in retrospect.

Thanks. The insanity of that scene always makes me laugh.

I am not the biggest fan of Moore's flicks but I will still watch them if they are on.

MGM could use kronicfeld: He's not a spy, there's no espionage, theres no subtlety.

Subtlety... in mainstream cinema?!

I'm going to have to agree with all of this.

"Licence to Kill" had the potential to be great (after all, it was based closely on the part of "Live and Let Die" that was left out of that movie), but the direction was weak, as were most of the characters - underwritten and underacted. Sanchez and his henchman (Benicio Del Toro!) were good. You're right about that. But so much potential went unrealized.

Plus: Big rig cab popping a wheelie. Stupidest, dullest, most intelligence-insulting "stunt" in the history of the franchise. Whoever came up with scene, I'd like to spend an hour alone in a room with that guy strapped to Le Chiffre's wicker chair.

Speaking of which, "Casino Royale" did well what "Licence to Kill" was trying to do.

But yes, Dalton is underrated, and I blame it squarely on the lousy scripts and lousy direction. The director, John Glen, was responsible for some of the worst Roger Moore movies. He just flat-out didn't have what it took for a grittier reboot. So Dalton, while closer to Fleming's Bond than his predecessors, was a whitewashed version, and trapped in post-'80s, men-eat-quiche personna.

Quantum of Solace kicked ass--I really enjoyed it. I honestly don't get the hate.

As far as Bonds go, I really like Connery and Moore, Dalton, eh, Pierce Brosnan hell no, but yeah Daniel Craig is fantastic. and I'm also willing to say out loud that I really enjoyed Quantum of Solace

@Fusillade. Yes

I would stick my single barrel up her double-o-7

Dr. Frisbee: I would stick my single barrel up her double-o-7

I'd put my PP in her K.

She looks like a biatch.

And by "biatch" I mean she would never talk to me.

And by "never talk to me" I mean she would be completly disgusted in me.

Did I mention my penis would be hanging out of my pants?

What? Is that wrong?
