Best Bond Ever?
for me it's really hard to say witch is the best bond movie ever, since I and more a Roger Moore fan than Connery's, I certainly can pick out the worst Bond film hehe!! but if I had to vote a top 5 best Goldfinger would be there for sure. yeah I agree with all what is said about this movie, but I still have my personal favorites. Goldfinger does not have the most fascinating story but the plot is all too balanced and coherent with probably the best evil duo and a naked dead girl painted with gold.
Casino Royale is cool and down to earth, and gives another view of how the James Bond character can be played, and it's fantastic in almost everything, but Goldfinger still tops Casino Royale

The New (and imporved) James Bond Tournament
i moved the tourney back to the fan portal section. not really sure if it belongs there, but I don't think that it fits under the homepage. If we have the tourney there, then shouldn't we have the other polls there too (best bond, best villain, best girl, best girl name, best gadget, best car, etc.) We have polls for all these things, and it doesn't make sense to me why the tourney should be given presidence (even though it kicks much more ass than those other polls). It might make more sense under the films page when it comes down to it. I think that we have to be really careful about what we list under the homepage or else we're going to be getting lots of questions like "why can't this or that page be under the homepage". the homepage should be reserved for macro-categories.
With that being said, if we end up with a number of different tourneys (bond girls, bond villains, etc.) then I think that would warrant moving the whole "James Bond Tournaments" as a category to a position under the homepage. If yall plan to make other tournaments, then let me know and I'll hook us up with a "Bond Tournament Portal" page that we can list under the homepage. If you don't plan on making any more tournaments, then I'd rather it not be listed under the homepage.

"Casino Royale": Worst Bond Film Ever, Part 1
“Casino Royale”: An Obituary for The James Bond Film Franchise
[warning: review contains spoilers]
Ever notice that the 007 films produced after “Goldeneye” seem to get worse and worse in significant critical, creative respects like screenplay quality, casting decisions, etc.? With “Casino Royale,” the franchise hits rock bottom. “Casino Royale” is, objectively, the worst James Bond film in the history of the 007 film franchise. Why?
1) Story: Based, more or less, on Ian Fleming’s original novel, this unskillful adaptation/update is communicated with a disdain for clarity. The audience is fed too little information, too late (or not at all)—about both character motivations as well as the stakes involved in various action sequences—to remain emotionally engaged and genuinely interested in what’s going on.
2) Casting/characterization: lacks conviction and appeal
• Daniel Craig (Bond). Craig’s characterization of Bond is charmless, worthless, and disturbingly nihilistic. At one point in the script, Craig’s Bond responds to a question with “Do I look like I give a damn?” The answer in “Casino Royale” is overwhelmingly NO. Why on earth, then, should the audience care about him? At another point, he tells Vesper “I have no idea what an honest job is.” Is this a credible (or creditable) moral statement to hear from a top-level government secret agent? Craig’s monotonously stoic performance is by no means compensated for by his (atrocious) line readings: he articulates rarely, mumbles often. As a result of Craig’s hollow Bond interpretation, what should have been the film’s ultimate impact moment—007’s “Bond, James Bond” confrontation with villainous Mr. White—is surprisingly anti-climactic, prompting a shrug rather than a cheer from this reviewer.

Worst Bond Movie?
"18. we already agreed she needed to show more flesh
19. ok ok
20.see #1" First, a belated "SWTM". I was the anonymous guy who listed the 20 points against TLD.
1. (to beattlehead) There IS something wrong with forcing a more "mature" relationship on James Bond. It's like reforming Superman with a different uniform, taking away his super strenght, making him a blue energy being, etc....same rule applies. If you want a different hero, come up with a different franchise.
2. (to CNP) I'm as yankee as they come. God Bless the USA, down with Saddam and who're we gonna invade next. I just find Bond movies less appealing when they involve American things. Part of it is, here in the States we've been deluged with "buddy cop" movies since Dirty Harry. When Bond romps around in Las Vegas it produces an "overlap" effect here, that might not be visible in other parts of the world. I don't find it irritating quite so much as monotonous. I want to see exotic foods and locations in a Bond movies. I want to see snobbish, stuck-up French women with generously sized boobs.
3. (to CNP) The opening sequence doesn't matter. The best Bond movies have 007 killing someone at least once a half hour, and often more than that.
4. (to both of you) It's fair to rate Bond movies according to how they age, and this *definitely* hurts the legacy. Actually, I'm not honked off quite so much that he helped bin Laden, but that the whole side-plot was just an awkward afterthought. It irritated me in 1987. You could eject every little thing that had to do with the mujahadeen, and the rest of the story would have been perfectly intact. You can't say the same about the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi.
5. See #3.
6. (to CNP) Kara did *not* break James Bond out of jail. (to beattle) What, the other Bond girls looked like Hillary Clinton?
7. (to CNP) See #4. (to beattle) Okay, point taken.
8. (to beattle) Yes, it is. Good lookin' women (cont'd)

What a turd....
Have you READ "Moonraker?" It has to do with missiles, not space stations. Bond doesn't go into space. It's actually a pretty decent book, with some very gritty sequences...and Bond doesn't get the girl at the end. All based on the idea of the German V-2's bombing London.
The movie? A fantasy. If ever there was a moment when James Bond stopped being a secret agent, it's when driving a hovercraft-gondola through the crowds of the Venice Plaza. Ludicrous. Then, Mr. Gilbert adds "nice" touches like the guy checking the wine bottle (again) and the pigeon doing a double-take. I enjoyed "Jaws" in "The Spy Who Loved Me" (a nice take-off on the villain "Horror" in the novel), but having him fall in love with...Pippi Longstocking? That's just too precious. And precious has no place in a Bond movie.
What's good about it? The pre-credit sequence is genuinely creepy, and the parachute-stunts quite scary. Bond stuck in the centrifuge is quite a good sequence. The "Q" sequence is charming. The special effects work is top-notch (if a little Gerry Anderson)But the whole Rio sequence is bad. Holly Goodhead is (though pretty) quite the drab little actress. And while I've enjoyed Michael lonsdale in other things--"Day of the Jackal," "Ronin," "Munich," --his Hugo Drax is really dull, reminding me a bit of Dropy Dog. There's just too much comedy to take anything seriously. It's a James Bond film for kids. Which is fine for "James Bond, Jr." but....
Even though the thing made a brazillion dollars, Broccoli took the "straight" approach next time with "For Your Eyes Only."
I watch it, though...
As far as cashing in on "Star Wars," I remember seeing the End Credit on "Spy Who Loved Me" being "James Bond Will Return in 'For Your Eyes Only.'"

Mixed feelings here...
Well, here's the thing about Bourne. It's monotonous and repetitious. Ultimately it becomes predictable. Really. I saw the third one, which I think was the best of the three, and I was able to predict every little thing that happened. Especially with Jason Bourne revealing during a phone conversation in some cute way that he was watching the person on the other end of the phone.
You do *not* want to turn James Bond into this guy. Really. It's a completely different story. With Bourne, we wonder how much he consciously knows. With Bond, we wonder what exactly he possesses in terms of that thing we call a "conscience," how much of one you can have when you're a hired killer. With one, we lose our sense of wonder about him if he completely loses his amnesia. With the other, we lose our sense of wonder about him if he loses his willingness to kill people. That's why 007 is so fascinating and terrifying when he has so many habits that don't change. It makes him more shark-like.
I agree with Alex. This is like dressing Superman up in that new costume, giving him new powers and taking away his old ones. And I really don't like Red Bull. That stuff will kill ya dead.

M - who set the standard?
See! Once again a very good and positive moment in what is almost traditionally written off as a bad Bond film.
I happen to love the heck out of Ms. Dench's portrayal. In fact, even though there were a couple of "M" portrayals between Lee's death and Dench's introduction, honestly- they a) were boring and b) never ever made me think they were actually portraying "M" (I cite, from the top o' my noggin' "License to Kill"...). Dench was one of the best things of the Brosnan era (I am in no way putting down the former Mr. Steele...). But having been a fan of her for some time, I thought it was and is simply great casting. Yes, I would have loved for the unmatched Bernard Lee to carry on forever, ditto all the "originals" (including a certain Ian F.) but things happen. Now- if we could get a Moneypenny as memorable and meaningful as Lois.
The most recent portrayal is OK, but....

OK, how was it?
This movie was okay - decent, not great and would have made a better Bourne movie. Some of the classic Bond pieces were noticably missing. A few things that could bother you: it's difficult to follow the opening scenes from the camera shaking all over the place - your eyes will hurt; the classic movie opening of Bond shooting at the screen was at the end instead of the beginning???; great Bond themes (View to a Kill, Living Daylights, For Your Eyes Only, etc) had the title in the song, this one didn't; we're still missing "Q"; no classic "Bond. James Bond." lines; no classic Bond drink; "M" was really over the top with the protective, "You're suspended Bond - No, I need you - You're out - No I need you" motherly type; and finally, the conclusion is not there as we still have several questions left unanswered. I have a hunch that the next one will play out like a continuation ala Fox's TV show "24". This movie gets a 6 out of 10. "Casino Royale" was better.

Are you f-ing serious???
Just imagine this for a moment will you. I'm going to set the tone for the typical James Bond macho womanizer scene. Funky jazzy music playing in the background. Possibly a ahot of his characteristic Aston Martin parked some where. His sillouhette entwined with that of another possibly on a counter or table. Then you find out that all this leadup is for a scene of hot sex... WITH A FRIGGIN DUDE! What next people! Should Bond start wearing Dolce and Gabanna clothing? Should he start talking with a lisp? Maybe it should be Bond guys instead? "Hey evil criminal who I just sent to prison. Call me when you get out will ya. By the way, those shoes are fabulous!" A world with a gay Bond would hardly be worth living in! Maybe Danial Craig fells comfortable necking with men in dimly lit rooms, but I know I wouldn't even feel comfortable watching it. Please make the right choice, don't turn Bond into a queer and if it happens for some horrible reason, bouycott the movie and prepare for the apocolypse.
