@GDB Agreed on The World is not Enough. It has a nice story, exciting action and very solid acting in the roles of Bond & Elektra. Still, this movie is haunted by Denise Richards and a lackluster main villain named Renard. They should’ve made Elektra the big-bad-boss instead. She’s the one controlling/taking advantage of Renard behind the scenes after all. That would be much much more interesting. I can’t believe some critics actually said TWinE as the worst bond movie. They surely haven’t watched Die Another Day, Moonraker, The Man with the Golden Gun, etc. If there’s a nomination of ‘worst Bond movie ever’, I believe most of them will come from Roger Moore movies.

The problem I have with most Bond movies is, that for spy movies, there is not much spying going on in them.
It should be more about gaining information and less about bursting into evil overlord's headquaters guns blazing. Which he can do, after the spying is done, but not all the freakin time. Also a spy should try to work undercover. If found, he's as good as dead. Yet somehow everyone seems to know who Bond (or 007) is - "ahhh... the famous Mr. Bond". |

Well the "Double Oh" (00) means he's more an assassin than a spy. If I recall correctly. Meaning he's sent of missions were he's more likely to be killing people more than simply just spying on people.

Agreed. IIRC in the novels, those 00 agents is more than just a standard spy looking for information. I think their main job is to track and arrest/kill potentially dangerous people (terrorists, megalomaniacs, etc). That’s what their “licenses to kill” are for, right?

I recall, I think the start of Goldfinger, that Bond uses a wetsuit to setup some explosives, swims out, takes off the wetsuit to show her's in a tuxedo (under the wetsuit). Enter a casino or something, finds a girl and gives a one liner at the explosion. Followed later by being attacked in the bath (of the girl he scored) and eventually electrocuiting an attacker in the bath....."Shocking".
Bond was always one for morbid one liners.

^I'm really excited to see Ben Whishaw as Q. Best known in America for his part in the recent Julie Taymor production of The Tempest (or possible his smaller part in the Daniel Craig led 'modern classic' Layer Cake), Whishaw is a very good up and coming British actor (I say up and coming, but he has been working for over a decade). Hopefully this role will give him the media exposure he needs to break out into American cinema (or at least get bigger parts in more film overseas).
It does help that he is cute in a geek chic kind of way ...(though he definitely looks like Cillian Murphey's younger brother in Skyfall .) |
