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.

[@SloanePaoPow]

Timothy Dalton is an underrated Bond

[@PUARockstar]

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.

Fantastic work. All actors who have played bond have all done brilliantly in their unique portrayals. 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. James Bond is iconic and will continue to be around due to popularity and engaging storytelling given the right person who is both a fan and is dedicated and eager to bring in both new and old audience with their own version.

[@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).

So Dalton tried out for Bond after Connery but was beat out by Moore. Then Brosnan tried out for Bond after Moore but was beat out by Dalton. Henry Cavill tried out for Bond after Brosnan but was beat out by Craig. So Cavill for the next Bond?

[@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).

[@SouthamptonCentral]

Why does it only have to be planned beforehand? I know it’s a little messy but the general storyline still works. And yes there’s plot holes and some unnecessary elements of the story (and Safin who doesn’t make any sense) but loads of bond films have plot holes and questionable villain motives. And I’d rather have a full story with a few small issues than no continuity at all. In almost every other aspect the Craig films are the absolute best in the franchise.

[@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.

@@glenn7152 Moore is in more Bond films than Craig but was only bond for 12 years and Craig was bond for 15 years

[@stuartsharman3055]

Daniel Craig the worse Bond EVER in my opinion. Frankenstein Forehead. Shrek Face. Just awfully miscast. Almost put me off the franchise forever, to be honest. I fear for the whole future of the Bond series after him. Could anyone be worse in the role?

Great analysis!!

[@jqmachgunner2577]

Everyone of the actors who has played James Bond brought their own unique, valuable, and important nuances to the character. But let us recognize that only Sean Connery brought the brutish, thuggish side of the Bond role to life in his portrayals. Daniel Craig did address this aspect of Bond, but he did so courtesy of the script which fleshed out Bond's beginning from thug to secret agent. Bond fans enjoy Bond's sophisticated demeanor, but many still do not truly appreciate the cold, hard core of a warrior entrusted with terminating bad guys, thwarting evil nations, and blocking the nefarious ambitions of bad actors (no pun intended) to protect civilization and allow the unsuspecting to blissfully sleep through the night.

Goldfinger will always be my favorite, but to be honest, Casino Royale is by far the best Bond flick ever made...

[@SijoArtLapham6381]

Actually, there was a TV special of Casino Royale starring Barry Nelson which aired eight years before the release of Dr No.

Correct. Jimmy Bond.

We're MISSING One Bond!

[@velociraptor8984]

Personally my favorite is Roger Moore ... BTW i have just watch all 6 seasons of The Saint with Roger Moore ( Before He Was Bond ) and he`s great !

[@davestang5454]

Complete agreement with you. Moore was, in many ways, more realistic. Connery a close second.
