What would have happend??
Feb 27 2008, 6:44 PM EST Let me pose this question....".What would the world of Bond be like IF they would have done the movies in the order of the books?" Personally, I wish that would've happend. As a reader first,the timeline has always been important to me as the stream of 007's life in and out of the "FIRM" . The changes he goes thru - from youth to middle age and how they reflect in his attidute toward his missions,women,health etc. What do you guys think??? ..........................................................C. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Feb 27 2008, 7:36 PM EST Wow, that's really a great question. You know what overlaps heavily with this, is "What if silly cold-war era invention called s.p.e.c.t.r.e. had never seen the light of day?" First of all, you'd have to rip a lot of stuff out of FRWL and put it somewhere else. I really like the idea of Bond finding out just a little bit at a time what's going on in the SMERSH organization, and I think the movie rearrangement was most damaging to that story arc. There'd have been a lot less "plastic surgery" in the Blofeld trilogy. And Moonraker would have been much, much better. Do you find this valuable? |

This would've been a good part to place in all the movies,not just Dr. No (new gun referance to FRWL- (previous book but "next" movie). I think SPECTRE would have made its logical apperance in TB, but all that great SMERSH stuff would have gone before. And---- YES! MOONRAKER would have been waaaaaaay better!!!...............................C. Do you find this valuable? |

Then we would have known how Bond started before Dr.No. The down side to that is that we my never have had good movies such as Goldeneye, etc.......... The series may have stopped after the last book. >>>>GSTQ<<<< Do you find this valuable? |
