Bored at work.

Till this day

 

007-Golden Eye was amazing

 

Probably better suited for the entertainment forum. @MrDrew can hook us up.

If I had a choice, I'd go A View to a Kill or The Living Daylights. This being said, I loved the Daniel Craig Casino Royale...

All in all, I take the first three Bourne movies (Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum) over any of the Bond movies.

I like the Sean Connery ones because he's at least having fun.

 

He's such an amazing actor . Like I herd originally with the prequel starwars movies ( phantom menance ) that they wanted him first over Liam Nelson. He basically said no... also said No to Lord of the Rings.

??‍♂️Big regret .

Roger Moore was having fun with the role. Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig seem a bit too intense (but Craig's Bond was designed to be this way, IMO).

Bourne identity was very good . Ehh Daniel Craig was okay but I did like Skyfall a lot . I also liked the " world is not enough ".

Me and a friend are planning for me to do like a small 007 intro skit on YouTube . I like acting lol as a fun hobby .

also a legend of Zelda moment where Link pulls the sword out .

I like movies a lot ... recently about a few months ago I saw " Blade Runner" and I really enjoyed it . Fantastic acting and visual effects with great sound effects . It's a quite not to much action movie but I love those type of films .

I wanna do a short film . By summer time I hope I can pull it off . Nothing to big lol

Growing up, I remember watching them all on TBS when they would have Bond marathons.   Ive always wanted to get the complete collection, but never took the plunge.   Maybe I will soon.

Anyway, there were only 2 Bond films I didnt particularly enjoy.   One of the Connery ones (cant remember the name) and the Lazenby one.    All the others I enjoyed to varying degrees.

Its hard to list a favorite since its been so long since Ive seen most of them.   However, excluding the Daniel Craig ones, one I always particularly enjoyed was A View to a Kill.   The title track always gets me fired up, and the movie itself was fun.    Maybe not the BEST one, but one that would probably be in my top 3-5 that doesnt seem to be in most peoples favorites.

The Bourne movies are better if you're 12 years old and don't know that a blockbuster movie shouldn't be filmed with a handheld camera.  Those movies are crap, Matt Damon is crap, and I hope they just stop.  First Bourne was fine, but that's all it was.  Fine. 

Anyway, back to Bond, I've seen every one and the early ones were too over the top for me to enjoy.  Roger Moore got into a gorilla costume in one.  Come on.  Those movies weren't action movies, they were comedies.  Not on purpose comedies, but comedies nonetheless. 

Timothy Dalton's Bond was my favorite Bond of the pre-90's Bonds because his movies kept the cheese to a minimum, and they were one of the first to try to give Bond an actual personality or heart or soul.  Sean Connery's last Bond movie kinda tried that a little bit with him getting married, but then Connery wouldn't come back, so they cast Lazenby, and I'm pretty sure that was the one his wife died, so that was the first one that tried actually having continuity, but that performance was ruined by Lazenby breaking the fourth wall and referencing "the other guy," Sean Connery.  Connery's were full of cheese, but at least that cheese wasn't so cheesy at the time they were made, only becoming cheesy since.  Roger Moore went full cheese. 

Pierce Brosnan's Bond movies were all enjoyable.  Die Another Day just went a tad too over the top, and by a tad I mean way, way, way too over the top.  It was still a fun movie to watch.  Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough are basically interchangeable and I really couldn't separate anything from those two movies other than the villains and the Bond girls.  Everything else is a blur for me.  Goldeneye is the perfect Bond movie as far as what Bond movies became and expectations for a Bond movie.  A few well-timed one liners with a slightly ridiculous plot and a exaggerated villains and some great action sequences.

The Daniel Craig Bond movies are probably the best movies overall.  By far.  Not necessarily the best Bond movies, but the best movies if judged separate from their Bond status.  The best thing about the Craig Bond movies isn't Daniel Craig, it's not the continuity, it's not the more realistic approach or the lack of cheese, but the other characters.  To me at least.  Q has a personality.  Moneypenny has a personality.  M had a personality.  That aspect of everybody having a code name and the code names carrying on from one person to the next is one aspect of the Bond movies that has been overlooked in almost every other series of Bond movies. 

When it comes to owning the Bond movies, I'd probably never buy any of the Connery, Lazenby, Moore or Dalton Bond movies.  They're just too interchangeable and similar.  I'd consider buying Goldeneye, and I have all the Craig Bond movies. 

Looking forward, I would both love and hate for Nolan to direct a Bond movie.  I'd hate it because I feel his talents are better suited for original movies, but I'd love it because it would undoubtedly be the best Bond movie ever made.
