Obviously. But I can take it the other way too, so it doesn't bother me at all.
But on topic, LTK blows SF out of the water IMO.
But that ain't Bond, that is Sean Connery in some McClory movie.
Yes... I don't know why... It's so weird and out of place.
Hahaha i will try that approach next time i watch it ,good thinking !
That's actually a very clever explanation,that I never thought of myself.
Gives one the chance to ignore the fourth wall break, if one doesn't like such silliness. Some people get turned down by such things, even so I'm not one of them.
Brosnan's quip in TND, "They'll print anything these days"... I'm convinced he breaks the fourth wall here due to the delivery, and he's pretty much looking at the camera.
That's not too say I want films like MR or DAD. Just that an element of the fantastical/absurd is actually what makes Bond special, IMO. I think Mendes got it right in that sense - I just don't think that overall the film is as great as many are making out.
There is only a tiny number of truly perfect Bond movies, and they star Connery or Dalton.
The acting is much better in LTK.Dalton easily beats Craig in that department.Also helps that LTK ends with a terrific tanker truck chase rather than a home alone homage in scotland.
Is it? The likes of Kelifer is laughable.
TSWLM...?
I only watched it the other day.
"Why..don't..you..lie..down"
"The..cylinder..head..gasket".
There's a shot when Bond's in a lift and when the door opens you can hear her say "how interesting". Possibly one of the worst line readings in the series I've ever heard. Not far off Tommy waseau in The Room.
Come on - give her a break. I admit it, she's not a great actress, but I just think she works pretty well in the movie. She looks great and seems to fit the tone of the picture really well. I think she's pretty memorable in her own unique way.
I think they make one of the better pairings from the Moore era. Perhaps one of the best of the series.
They made a fairly decent pair but I wouldn't go so far to say best in the series.
Dalton ever delivered in the role.
TD fans like to go on about his acting and he's great in certain aspects but as an all rounded 007 Craig is considerably "yes considerably " better.
Davi is good but I'll take Bardem personally for his introduction alone, plus I don't remember Craig turning Yorkshire when playing Bond.
"thing were about to turn nasty"
SF will age considerably "yes considerably" better.
LTK is always going to be certain Bond fans favourite and not much more. I used to think it was my favourite Dalton but from a recent watch TLD stands up better.
It's hard to tell when Craig mumbles so much.
Yes, Dalton's Mancunian accent does pop up here and there. Apparently he's got a bit of a thing about his accent. At RADA they tried to wipe out his regional accent and in the process his confidence was completely shot. He does not have much positive to say about RADA actually. In his own words, it took him a long time to find his own voice again after that. A shame he doesn't seem to have much control over when the inner Manc comes out. Verges from RSC to Corrie and back again in the same scene! Still a very good actor though. More range than DC, IMO.
Let's be real here... Dalton could have done the stoic, steely it's-all-on-the-inside performance, but that's the easy way out. He wanted to take chances. Not all chances work out for the best, but it's far more interesting than playing it totally (or near totally) safe. IMO.
There are times when I'm not so certain about Craig's performance like when he's at the bar in Macau BEFORE he stares into Severine's eyes ("yeesss"), but I'd say overall its stronger than Dalton's in LTK.
