Bond 23 | Other Bond Films | What do you expect?

Craig has let slip that production of the upcoming James Bond Film installment, Bond 23, will begin in late 2009. This was no surprise, I think to anyone could have guessed it. What bedazzled me was really Michael Sheen letting go of the role of Blofeld, and what truly vexed me (in a good way) was the rumors of Bessie back for more. Hell of a voice, that one……

Now, what I REALLY want to bedazzle and vex me is Michael G. Wilson in three ways:

Give us a new plot line, and enough with the whole “rogue bad-ass agent thing”.

Once in a bright moon is it OK to use (like the 20 year gap between OHMSS and License to Kill) but not back to back like in both Craigs previous films. No, give Bond an actual stint where we actually know who the hell is the Bond Villains (and not a variation of MI6 and Quantum members.

The Fate of the James Bond franchise...
Fundamentals of James Bond:

What I mean here is where were the Q, Moneypenny, and snappy gadgets we have come to know and love? In Bond 23, perhaps, can we at least get one of em’ back? I mean fer cryin’ out load, give us Bond Fans a rest and put one of them in the films.

Craig → Charm:

Does Daniel Craig have the charm and charisma that say, Connery had? Heavens no, but he has had a few women in bed. What I want to see from Craig is an attempt to bring back some pre-Moore charm on the ladies. As for the quips,

And a few side notations on what the director could do….

Craig might have inherited the role, but does he has the charm of James Bond?
Dramatic Fight Sequence:

Doesn’t it seem that every couple of Bond films, Bond and the villain duke it out, with the henchman following suit? Why not try that here? The last dramatic fight was probably Renard and Bond; consequently, if you think that Greene and Bond’s fight was melodramatic, then you’re gravely mistaken………..

Stop with the whole “I see a girl, now a seduce here. (insert evil laugh).

Three of four girls a film are a bit overboard, don’t ya think?

Speaking of Villainy…

Can we get an actual henchman that can physically challenge Bond? Elvis (not the singer, Greene’s henchman) was more of a fruitcake than a Jaws. And Kratt got his ass shot and whip……dare I say Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Just a few things to get my mind off ease. Bond 23 will either make or break Craig, I think. He gave a hell-of-a-performance in Casino Royale, but followed decently in Quantum of Solace; possibly due to “poor scripting” or “inadequate supporting cast”. What ever the case may be…fix it! And lets get Bond back to par, shall we?
