Sleep/Walkthrough would be more accurate. This shows how hackneyed and full of clichés are done by the review, rather than the material being reviewed. His treatment of any of the aspects of a bond film is superficial and boring. There are hundreds of reviews of Ian Fleming, James Bond, and the only James Bond who is of course Sean Connery. therefore look elsewhere.

Yes, some much needed gravitas. If it weren't for him James Bond would've fallen short of all the action spies right around the corner, Ethan Hunt, Jason Bourne, etc. The Living Daylights hurled the Bond films right into high octane action in Afghanistan. These were no longer adventure films, they were now action thrillers.

Diana Rigg was the best Bond Girl hands down. She was his equal without going over the top and was true soul mate. Her death and Bond's reaction to it at the end of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is one of the saddest moments in film history.

Pierce Bronson and Daniel Craig brought nuance to bond like many before them while also being respectful and bringing new life for what Sean Connery started.

I agree but they did not mention Roger Lazenby, who played 007 in "Her Majesty's secret service." I read that he was difficult to work with but even if that was true I still think he deserved a mention.

[@PUARockstar]

Not EON production too, and not really a film, but the first portrayal of Bond (american agent Jimmy Bond though, and Felix Leiter was british, and Vesper was combined with Mathis in a single female character, but otherwise pretty faithful to the book) was by Barry Nelson in Casino Royale (1954).

[@iainmacadam2119]

Came to the comments to see if anyone would mention this.

[@jamesbowen2105]

The role was created for Roger Moore. He was however already contracted to play the , Saint and not allowed to play a spy type character for competitors. Moore was actually a commando, and MI captain who's Real life story wD reminiscent of the Bond character.

You didn't cover the little side note of how Connery came back after a 12 year hiatus to play Bond in a non-Eon produced movie, which was also towards the end of Roger Moore's stint (Moore had already been in 5 Bond movies when Connery did his final Bond movie in 1983).

[@MoLetalis]

"with linear continuity"... it only counts when it was planned beforehand. The Quantum (which was the modern Spectre analogue) storyline was supposed to be a trilogy but apparently ended at QoS, after killing two losers in a desert. Skyfall was amazing and actually gave us some unique introductions (Moneypenny, Q, Mallory) and farewells (M and the DB5), but was a standalone. In Spectre, they pretend unconvincingly that Blofeld and Spectre were over-arching everything that happened in the first 3 movies. Bond actually blows up Spectre and captures his leader in the 4th film, but the invisible organisation still exists in the 5th movie, implying to be a threat, until they are all killed in a few seconds by a underwhelming villain, who ironically loses its main goal halfway through film, until at the very end of the film he suddenly has a new plan. Absolutely nothing was planned for continuity, except for (1) QoS being a sequel to Casino Royale and (2) some characters that are borrowed from previous films (but that also happened in the older movies).

[@roberthubbard5696]

I think the biggest evolution was backwards. In the books, Bond has relationships with the women and they tend to drop him or leave him but he really cares for them. The books are sequential and the relationships are tied together. In the first movies, Bond is just about getting laid, either just because they are there (and eye-candy) or because the women help him somehow. By Craig, we are back to Bond in love, first with Vesper then with Madeleine. I wouldn't argue that the Bond Girls evolve dramatically, but there are one of each in "Licence to Kill". In all of the later films the women are smart, powerful, and eye-candy! But it is Bond that evolves. (Can't blame Moore for the awful middle movies. He is too old to be credible for anything (action or women) and the scripts were atrocious.) HMSS is a complete outlier.
