'I think he got the point'

never watched a bond movie in my life until last year when i watched them all in order, so no childhood nostalgia:

connery: wild ape in a suit, perfect bond
lazenby: vulnerable in a way connery could never be, great fit for his specific movie
moore: stodgy closet homo bond
dalton: gloomy intellectual bond, not great
brosnan: closet homo bond strikes back
craig: finally an acceptable replacement for connery

i absolutely do not buy ironically detached moore bond or the similar brosnan interpretation. bond makes sense to me only if he's a wild beast that likes to fuck and kill people, and all the upper class social signifiers are just a disguise that he adopts because he goes after elite criminals. bond is a vulgar disruption of the civil society that the villains profit from abusing, he pulls the rug from under them, he fucks their women and shrugs when they die. meanwhile, moore is an impostor, an upper class fairy that authentically cares about tailored suits and wine tasting. thank god for craig bringing the animal back.

I haven't seen it yet.

Is disliking Quantum of Solace the biggest pleb filter?

>>80135939
QoS is not good.
>plot ultimately hinges on coincidences
>action sequences are heaviest on CG

There's some nice spectacle outside of that (including the women) and some neat use of location, but those values make it more comparable to the recent Mission Impossibles, where it loses as an action movie.

Now Bourne Legacy, that's the real pleb filter of the genre.

Patrician's guide to Bond

>Connery
The sociopath: The physical incarnation of the Cold War. Charming and clean exterior, but cunning, apathetic, animalistic interior

>Lazenby
The human: only really works for his film, but works non-the-less

>Moore
The impersonator: The commercial, crowd pleasing Bond. His movies didn't age well, neither did he

>Dalton
The closest to the book Bond we'll ever get on screen: A manic assassin who deals with his guilt and self-loathing through his job, fucking, and drinking. The patrician's choice

>Brosan
The action man: Not much more to say, a combination of all the previous Bonds that works a majority of the time.

>Craig
The revival: a mix between Connery, Lazenby, and Dalton. Has the potential to be the best but is fucked over by shitty writing

>comparing books to films
Look at this fucking hack. He thinks an adaptation has got to be a strict adaptation. He thinks you're not going to change things between mediums, he thinks the medium is not going to require certain changes.
He even thinks that one piece of media should stay the same as it translates between mediums.

What a fucking pretentious hack!

This guy. He's everything wrong with /tv/. He comes and he watches films, but he's got no clue what he's doing. He's probably not even watched RLM, the base-line for being a hack critic. They don't even talk about the films half the time, and this fuck is thinking at an even lower level than them, the fucking base-line of film reviewing.

The best Bond is the one Fleming approved of. Are you kidding?
That's like saying you need Vladimir Nabokov to sign off on your Lolita adaptation, or Stephen Fucking King to sign off on your version of The Shining.
That's like saying a director needs the fucking scriptwriter's approval to do what he wants with the material.

What a joke.

This guy is everything wrong with /tv/.

He does have a point though. Book to film comparison is the most plebessant form of criticism

Not bad anon, although I disagree about Craig being a replacement. I don't think he pulls off the suave debonair attitude of Sean Connery. He's just WWF retard strength in a suit. Connery is the tall dark and handsome type, but his scruffy accent and his fighting style (i.e. he just throws people around, unless they're bigger than he is and then he'll just throw things at them until they die) show he's a tough guy.

Spot on with the other bonds though. They must have thought they could teach a fancy pants actor to be tough and crazy, or they thought people liked Bond because he was so smooth, but that's not true.

Fun fact: the creator of the bond comics thought Connery was a shitty choice and bitched about it because he was too gruff and didn't have a British accent. The director then took Connery out to dinners and taught him how to be suave and debonair. They literally taught him to not be such a mongrel and he fucking pulls it off the madman.

Bond movies had awesome title sequences at the start.

Roger Moore era Bond movies are the best of the franchise. The sets and locations are spectacular.

I'll always find it hilarious how they got away with calling a character "Pussy Galore", especially back in the fucking 60s.

>>80135939

No, disliking OHMSS is.

>>80146498
Then get started one way or another.

The movie changed one of the characters, who was meant to be a womanizer, into a homo.
