Ok first off no giving away anything important about the new film in this thread as not everyone will have seen it.
I am currently sat watching Golden Eye - the script writers may have let him down but Pierce is my favorite Bond.
The thing that strikes me watching this is that is fits the Bond formula and this is where the new batch have lacked in my opinion. They have been good action films but not Bond films.
Golden Eye we open mid mission and its clean neat, we have crazy stunts and gadgets from the off and then a big evil head quarters blows up! We then get a pointless sexy car chaise, a fluesy is shagged and then we are all boat chases and clear recognizable character roles start to emerge. Great.
Do you remember when Bond films were all about the one stunt and these amazing stunt teams would perform unseen feats (previously untried feats) just to entertain us! That's why I watched a bond, to see a man free fall in real life behind a plane!
Also (and I promise this gives nothing away) the latest Bond film is set in London - WRONG. As English we like the seeing the charming English man with all our manors etc in tropical settings because home is cold and grey and cold grey and not sexy. A whole film of London is not escapism and that's what a Bond film should be.
Ohh also can I start a sub section of the Bonds that could have been. Sean Bean is an amazing baddy BUT what a Bond he would have made!
So who's on your top Bond list, what is your favorite film, stunt, moment, theme song and who do you think would have made an excellent Bond.
