I grew up with Brosnan and the 007 movies he starred in were mostly bad. I don't believe it had anything to do with Brosnan, those films just had horrible scripts and dialogue.

 

My impression of Bond, not based on books or anything but the films I've seen, is that he is a sophisticated British gentleman. Craig simply does not have that super man appearance. His face and hair just don't scream superior genetics like Brosnan's did.

 

Craig looks more like an ugly Bond villain than Bond.

 

At the time I hoped they would pick Clive Owen instead of Craig.

 

I hear you. The great thing about Bond is that each actor has brought something different to the persona. Brosnan certainly embodied the polished gentleman persona, you're right about that. Daniel Craig is clearly the flawed and rugged Bond. Brosnan was self-assured with a smile - almost arrogant. Craig is self-assured with a grimace - welcoming of the danger but doesn't seem to enjoy it.

If there was a actor closest to how Ian Fleming wanted Bond to be then Daniel Craig is it. Fleming wanted Bond to be dark and gritty and almost like a villain.

The Bronson era wasn't great at all. The best film he did was GoldenEye and really I felt Sean Bean would've been the better fit.

Most of Roger Moore's adaption of Bond were alright but I thought most of the movies were too slow for me. Although, I did enjoy The Man with the Golden Gun.

S.P.E.C.T.R.E

For all the die hard Bond fans out there, you may like this one because there are elements from the Fleming books and from the classic movies that are returning.

Including SPECTRE, which is the iconic terrorist organization seen through the classic Bond flicks with Sean Connery.

Rumor has it that Christoph Waltz will play Blofeld but again, just rumor.

Here is the synopsis:

A cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.

Thoughts?

The campy stuff got annoying after I turned 14.  I'd take Craig's Bond 7 days a week and twice on Sunday for as many movies as they can make.

 

 

You really have to consider these films in the period they were released in though.

In 1962 this is as bad ass as you could get.

I really liked Brosnan as Bond.  GoldenEye was one of the better Bond films in my opinion... it's just that all of Brosnan's OTHER Bond films sucked and were completely ridiculous.  He fit the character great though.

 

He's the 2nd best Bond behind Connery in my opinion if we're just going by actor portrayals.  The franchise had just gotten stale after GoldenEye (the last legit Bond movie before Casino Royale).

 

I like Craig's Bond movies, but I feel he's rather weak as the James Bond character himself.  I know he's closer to the original novels in being gritty, etc. but he just lacks... something.  I don't know.  Just doesn't have anywhere near the screen presence as Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan.  This new generation of 007 movies have been top notch however.  That campy over-the-top ridiculous gadget poo was getting retarded.

I too really wanted Owen to be the pick. I also agree that Brosnan was better as Bond even though Craig's films have been far better than Brosnan's, except for Goldeneye

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
