The general consensus is that anyone other than Craig is sh%t, which I have never understood.
No need to throw your toys out of the pram. Everyone has a candidate, they just don't all favour Poldark.
It certainly is very close to Roger in a couple of scenes. People were asking for it, got it and then moaned about it.
People in majority, save for a few here, don't have a problem with Craig going "old Bond" (or "Classic Bond" to some), they have a problem with the structure of the story, Blofeld in general and the London finale. That's all.
You didn't see Nick Nack or Craig in a clown suit pop up out of nowhere, did you?
Well said @RC7 .
There are plenty of people who could do a fine job succeeding Craig.
Mine's still:
The whole of the plane sequence was Moore, too. Lets just say, in those dcenes they tried comic up Craig Bond, which he can play very well, of course, but was a Bit off After the other films. Plus not bleeding was another step into the lighter Territory.
I did mention this before. She's up for the Bond girl role though.
I get why the bleeding issue might be a problem with some people, though, as I personally have no fancy for it nor have anything against it. Don't mind if there is, don't mind if there isn't (that much). Then again, other than the wound in the shoulder, Bond didn't bleed that much in Skyfall, either. Both the Mendes films are very light compared to its consecutive two predecessors.
All in all, because there isn't blood and gore graphically shown doesn't mean the film is super-light and Moore-ish. Too many "dark" films lack those features.
West, like Fassbender, is a choice that i would have no complaints with. Not only do both fit the classic template, but from what I have seen of them, they could pull of the right qualities for the role too.
I also agree with you on the Moore'isms. That's exactly how I felt at several points during the car and plane chase, because these moments at levity in the middle of (what should be) tense sequences recalled what they did most often during Roger's tenure. It was very much a part of his interpretation and inherent to his portrayal more than Connery's, which tended to have the after the fact quips. A nod or an eyebrow lift during the TSWLM & FYEO car chases come to mind.
I hope they don't do this in the future. It just doesn't work in my mind, just as the quips Pierce used to throw about didn't recall Connery, but rather seemed like poor imitations of him.
I think this shows how misinformed Express readers are. Those attacks on modern media are hereby validated.
Would love to see her in her proper role though. Always love a beautiful redhead.
I love Dominic West and he would have made a great Bond had he been about 15 years younger. Had Craig not been cast he would have been an excellent choice then. I think he can play both dead serious and lighter. And yes I agree about the face. That is something lacking with most if not all the potential successors of Craig.
There was a rumour last year that he had actually been cast.
