[@Nomad-1993]

Lol what? He's always on missions. Spectre was the first and only time we ever saw him at his own flat. It seems more like he's always on mission and doesn't have any kind of life outside of being 007. His movies don't usually end with him being with the girl but with a renewed sense of purpose or maintaining the status quo.

One thing I have always wanted from a Bond movie series was to go back in time a few decades. Bring the genre back to it's starting point with old style villains, tech, cars, and that classic feeling. Don't have to do this forever... but just maybe one or two movies would be nice and refreshing.

[@ThreadBomb]

I'd like them to redo the classic novels. The filmed versions tended to be quite different from the novels, so there's a lot of unexplored material there.

[@MrGShev]

That took over 10 minutes before they even mentioned Timothy Dalton (and even then just in passing)!? Also, another thing that really bugged me in the Craig bond film's was M wouldn't go away - M sits at a desk and gives Bond details of mission, Bond goes and does mission, M isn't seen again until next just before next mission (with a few exceptions), Judy Dench's M was so hard to get off screen they had to kill her!

The best Bond is probably the one who was Bond when you first started watching them. For me, it’s Pierce Brosnan. For someone during Sean’s run, it’ll be him etc. Edit as a single reply: yes there are exceptions. This is a generality based on my experience talking to others. To each their own.

[@doshi066]

That is always been my issues, he's around same age as Daniel Craig and if he was cast he would too old and they don't want another 1 movie bond, they need someone who can be bond for 10 years, I'm surprised he was never cast as a bond villain or a different 00 agent for one movie

I always find it interesting that each Bond has a very unique, very distinct style of film from their predecessor. I feel like Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig are the closest in style, whereas Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan are also very similar. But still they are all very different from each other. One of my favorite things about the Bond series is watching it change over time. I love Daniel Craig, but I don't think his movies are very good, besides Skyfall and Casino Royale. I think they've effectively sapped the character out of him. But under those conditions, he's performed extremely well. Daniel Craig will forever be remembered as the "tortured, gritty Bond." Even more so than Dalton was. A man of very few words and outright brutality. The inexperienced operative acting out of impulse, instead of the more calculated Bond of Goldfinger. I like seeing this kind of thing, though. It's one huge reason why I love the series so much.

If you’re gunna have a garrotte in your watch and jump cars 100 meters it be hooves you to have a sense of humour. That’s not Dan’s fault so much as the tone of all of his movies. Roger had a laser in his Seiko and he acted accordingly.

Agree to disagree, I think Craig has the most underrated, real and quite hilarious humor as a Bond. Its not the "in your face" style of Roger Moore humor. But I think you really have underrated the humor in the newer movies. They are way more serious and gritty as movies in general, but when there is humor its on point.

In my opinion, Mission Impossible has long since surpassed James Bond as the king of the espionage-action franchise. Mission Impossible consistently delivers tense gripping action, incredible real life stunts, and just enough character development to drive the whole thing forward without getting excessively bogged down in lore. Not only that but I feel Ethan Hunt (minimal as his character backstory is) is a much more compelling hero for the modern era - whereas Bond has always been a character who succeeds because he has the best gadgets, is the best fighter and is effortlessly smooth because he's always one step ahead of the game, Ethan Hunt's borderline psychopathic never-give-up attitude in spite of his gadgets failing, in spite of getting his ass kicked by tougher opponents, and in spite of getting outsmarted and their carefully laid plans quickly turning to shit, makes him so much more compelling and aspirational as a hero.

The issue with the Craig films (besides the 1st one being the only good one) is there were supposed to mark out Bond's journey to being a great agent. From generic newbie to world savior.

[@BucklingSwashes]

Casino Royale and Skyfall are both so great because they work as "origin" stories for Bond to an extent. B21 was essentially Bond Begins, while Skyfall calls back to the earliest Bond films, quite literally setting them up to go back to the beginning with Bond, M, and Q as if they were just about to roll into the start of Dr. No. They both work well as standalone films, like the best Bond movies always have.

[@ed-te1fp]

Daniel Craig is a great Bond, but just behind Sean Connery, who was the full package. He had physicality, suave humor and gave the impression of being dangerous even when he was being polite.

Daniel Craig is the Christian Bale of the Bond Franchise. His Bond films are The Dark Knight Trilogy of the franchise. Craig made Bond, dark, gritty and a believable character again. He brought the franchise back to it's roots. Just like Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan did with the Batman character. Casino Royale is the Bond version of Batman Begins. It gave fresh new life to the Bond Franchise, and brought it back from the goofiness and the over the top galore of Die Another Day. Just like Batman Begins did it after the backlash with Batman & Robin. Craig made the Bond films, dark, believable and realistic again. Also you could say that No Time to Die is the Bond version of The Dark Knight Rises. As Bond sacrifices himself to save the world just like Batman did it in The Dark Knight Rises. Both the Bond and Batman films have had a similar evolution in tone and depiction. By initially starting off as dark and gritty, then becoming camp and over the top. Then becoming dark, grounded, realistic and serious in tone again.

simonegreco He was excellent as a spy in Mission Impossible 6 and it didn’t feel like Superman doing other stuff. He’s definitely a good enough actor to become Bond and feel like Bond, not superman.

[@Trashplat]

I want a trilogy of Bond. One set in the 60s with an origin story, a regular old mission and a retirement story. One three part story with all sorts of Bondisms. Thanks.

[@TaylorMorgeson]

Timothy Dalton is the best 007. This is not in dispute.

[@andrewf1145]

Everyone forgets Timothy Dalton was basically Daniel Craig before there was Daniel Craig. Criminally underrated and easily the best Bond for the two films that he's in.

[@ricardoronaldo837]

Craig bond excluding casino royale has been mostly style over substance. And that style has been soo cool.

Lol..you serious? When was bond EVER not that way? At least casino and skyfall had some character work going on

[@DeathstroketheTerminator]

The thing with his suits is even that wardrobe designers (whatever they are called) even confirmed that this tight fitting suits aren't fashionable. Suits have obviously grown tighter since Connery and Moore but not to that extent. He's supposed to be the height of British Gentlemen-ness and can't even dress right.

[@SirDavidAsher]

After seeing No Time To Die... yes. Heartbreaking, yet we all were so engulfed with shock and emotion that it shows that he is the best James Bond. Sean, Lazenby, Moore, and Brosnan never made me cry... and I’m a grown man... Family was the overall arc to his anthology.

[@thescreentroll8632]

They never wanted you to cry. They wanted you to have fun and watch an entertaining spy movie. So, your kinda asking them to do something that went against Bond. Also the ending to no time to die makes no sense and is just shit, the writers wrote themselves into a hole.

James Bond more like James Blonde. Just finished the video 😔

[@johng7410]

I don't care who stars in the next Bond, I just want it to be a straight mission. I'm so sick of James Bond being a "Oh it's your worst enemy". It's the same problem in Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise always being a traitor. I just want a spy movie with "Here's your mission, go solve it".

[@johansmallberries9874]

Haha Jason Bourne too. “Looks like they found me again.. again!”

[@ThreadBomb]

I don't like how every villain has to be related to Bond now. It feels like a series of ridiculous coincidences.

[@stevencassidy6982]

Daniel is second only to Tim Dalton - who played Flemings Bond. But as for your video?The impersonation of the James Bond theme nearly had me switching over.

[@deliusmyth5063]

Roger Daltrey is my three favorite James Bonds.

[@mercwasneverthere]

Thanks to you guys for revealing how tall Daniel craig is

[@Deftonesdsm]

Why not re set bond into Flemmings world? Just do Bond back in the 20s. Just be a one off or short series of the early days of spy's.

[@ThreadBomb]

I'd like to see them re-do the classic novels, very different in some cases from the filmed versions.

No because it’s inaccurate to the whole concept of James Bond. Idris Elba would be great as Bond but most agree that the character should stay how he is
