Go back and watch a Connery or even a Roger Moore Bond movie, then watch a Daniel Craig one, then go back to Connery or Moore, and see if you don't prefer the older ones.

In fact, at some point or other I've seen all the James Bond movies except for the Pierce Brosnan ones. And there is certainly a vast difference between the Bond that Craig plays and the Bond that Connery, and especially Moore played. But I feel like they are all simply exploring aspects of the same almost mythological character. While the current Bond might be lacking in the more gentlemanly aspects of Bond, Connery and Moore were constantly being captured, stalked, and doing other such routine things every single movie. So I have trouble thinking of them as ideal Bonds either. And that is likely why the Daniel Craig movies don't bother me as they do you.

After losing interest 3 times in Skyfall,I realize the Bond franchise is a retarded shadow of itself - 10/03/2013 07:06:31 PM 1098 Views
I enjoyed it. - 10/03/2013 08:01:16 PM 695 Views
What exactly is a "popcorn movie"? - 11/03/2013 08:40:32 PM 628 Views
I'm not sure mine is the definitive meaning, but - 15/03/2013 10:42:25 PM 675 Views
I enjoyed it more than any other Bond movie ever, yes. - 10/03/2013 11:19:29 PM 690 Views
Bond movies are only plausible as comedy - 11/03/2013 08:39:10 PM 717 Views
I thought it was alright - 11/03/2013 05:33:43 AM 681 Views
I think I answered that question in my other responses. - 11/03/2013 08:46:50 PM 646 Views

I've recently rewatched a couple of Roger Moore Bonds on TV... - 11/03/2013 12:13:04 PM 726 Views
Yes. It needs to take itself far less seriously. - 11/03/2013 08:44:17 PM 680 Views
Skyfall, itself, I'd put in the top three of Bond movies. - 11/03/2013 01:14:26 PM 901 Views
I shudder to wonder what the other two are - 11/03/2013 08:48:38 PM 704 Views
I haven't been fond of Daniel Craig James Bond. - 11/03/2013 05:57:41 PM 873 Views
Joyless! Yes, that's a good word. - 11/03/2013 06:24:03 PM 689 Views
Neither have I. The charmless, joyless thing is part of it. - 11/03/2013 08:45:21 PM 611 Views
To be fair there is one scene I liked a lot in Casino Royale - 14/03/2013 07:26:19 AM 873 Views
That's why they call it a reboot. And let's face it, the franchise needed it. - 13/03/2013 12:35:11 PM 685 Views
The new Bond movies are anything but realistic. - 13/03/2013 01:51:00 PM 742 Views
why did they need a reboot? Every Bond movie ever made money - 17/03/2013 12:02:14 PM 734 Views
^ This. Exactly this. I agree 100%. *NM* - 17/03/2013 04:48:26 PM 314 Views
