Last night I watched
Quantum of Solace. What a bloody stupid premise. What happened to hollowed out volcanos and plans to destroy the world? Proper villains like Blofeld and Scaramanga rather than some evil businessman who looks like a cross between David Mitchell and Jools Holland?

when I watched it
I thought a chunk of my perfectly legal download had been missed out.

When he captures the bad guy and takes him into the desert and suddenly they're talking about the quantum of solace. Thought I must have missed a bit, but no, it just doesn't explain itself

Very poor film indeed.
Particularly after I had to eat my hat and admit to enjoying Casino Royale having said it would definitely be shit and that Daniel Craig looked like a plumber and would make a shit Bond, for about a year before it even came out.

Plot/villain-wise the worst one has to be that Brosnan one with 'Elliott Carver' or whatever he was called. Utterly wet and a weed, and his dastardly plan to start a war so he could have an exclusive in his paper or whatever the fuck it was, was dismal.

Casino Royale was better
Out of the entire franchise it was one of the better ones.

I like Bond films, if there's one on TV I'll always watch it. Daniel Craig does the job ok too. Didn't people complain because he was blonde and not dark like the others?

I want my Bond to have far fetched gadgets
I want to suspend disbelief. I want undersea lairs and evil geniuses bent on world domination. I want never ending clips in the guns and cars that explode when you shoot them. I want barley disguised double entendre, women that are sexy but can kick ass. I want everything that was Bond and nothing of what Bond has become.

But then Timothy Dalton was a bit crap wasn't he? Sean Connery FTW!

Lazenby
Moore
Craig
Dalton

I always found Moore a little old and more silly than smooth.

Because of my age
I'm a Roger Moore man at heart. I KNOW they're not as good films as the Connery ones but Live and Let Die is my all time favourite and, controversially, View to a Kill - Christopher Walken is the IDEAL Bond villain.

OHMSS is third on my list, even though Telly Savalas isn't particularly scary, esp when compared with Charles Gray or Donald Pleasance...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 2 Dec 2009, 10:00, Reply)

Though he wasn't my favourite bond
The Moore films are amongst my favourites.

Live and Let die is probably my favourite Bond film though I though Goldeneye was a great comeback after the shite that was Daltonbond

Correct
although she does almost give Seymour a run for her money in the Wicker Man. The gyppo girl-fight scene in From Russia with Love always did something funny to me, too.

I also have a massive thing for those 60s French & Italian women with heavy eye makeup like wot you get in the Pink Panther films.

2 things that have contributed to ruining Bond
..is the Bourne series and new Batman films.

1) He's got to be a boy-next-door type, viciously violent, bad-ass, emotional with personal issues.

2) There has to be sweary words, "heavy" scenes, all dark and psychological.

Not what Bond is about!
