I love Dalton's Bond most of all but Craig is the right Bond for the time.

Dalton lacked the tough-guy aspect for this script. He was a serviceable Bond in a bad era (80s) for Bonds. He's better in Lifetime Original Movies for Women.

"Dalton lacked the tough-guy aspect for this script. He was a serviceable Bond in a bad era (80s) for Bonds. He's better in Lifetime Original Movies for Women."Since Dalton's 007 is the Bond Craig's most closely resembles, I'd have to disagree. No matter, though, as Craig is the right Bond for the times. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I always thought what would Dalton be in Goldeneye. As I just imagined Dalton in the "quantum theory", I concluded, that even he, who is better than Craig in my eyes, can't make it better, as the story is weak. And a good actor won't make the story better.

I actually think that Dalton was a good Bond who was given HORRIBLE - NEARLY UNWATCHABLE films to work in. I have much respect for his portrayal of the character. But there is no doubt in my mind that Craig is far superior. In my humble, but correct opinion, he is a better example of Flemming's Bond than anyone who has come before him (and I'd put Dalton immediately behind him in that respect).

To me I think Dalton and Craig are too much alike. Dalton propably would have done a great job in QOS.

Dalton is the angry Bond, the negative Bond and now Craig it taking that role away. First Craig does not look like James Bons at all. QOS is a Dalton type movie. So yes Dalton would have made the movie much better.

Yes he would. Its all in the good acting and doing ur own or as many as ur own stunts. Dalton believed in making as real as possible, including the action scenes. Tha ERN (008)

Give the characters more time 2 develop with the storyline? Tha ERN (008) Do you find this valuable? |

Craig is not responsible for QUANTUM'S shortcomings; I'd start with the editor, who cut the film so quickly (I call it "Bruckheimer Cutting") you couldn't see half of what was going on. Also, the action scenes were framed so tight the film lost much of its scope.
