  • Well comparing DN and QoS is very far-fetched in my eyes. They may have a similar length and concentrate on one location but apart from that they share almost nothing. DN is most known for introducing us to the character and by giving us some of the…

  • One could simply say that in the 60s it was absolutely normal for men from all classes to smoke. Today not as many people smoke and it is often not allowed to smoke in bars and restaurants. So it is quite natural Bond smoked in the 60s but not today…

  • I honestly don't really like any of the climaxes in the Craig era so very much. CR's climax was well made but I found the sinking house a bit too much even for a Bond film. Since the Brosnan era it feels as if Bond needs to destroy half of all th…

  • I agree. It probably would be kind of forced if they bring back a smoking Bond. Every now and then they have to update the character. As it was done when they took away Bond's hat after Moore had taken over the role.

  • Still you can tell from the beginning that Connery's Bond was thought of being a sophisticated character. It is the way he talks, how he behaves. You feel that this man is at the right place in the casino or the "dinner with Dr. No scene". This man …

  • You are right, a sophisticated person does not need to play golf. That is why Dalton need not play golf in order to be sophisticated. The thing is, Craig does not seem to be sophisticated in my eyes.
  • I mean, can you imagine Craig voluntarily going to a classical concert? Wouldn't you rather presume him going to a football or a boxing match?
  • Well there are plenty of moments where Dalton shows his interest in such things. Think of how he enjoys classical music in TLD or how he uses his knowledge to bring the right products from Harrods to impress Koskov. He doesn't come across snobbish …

  • The GF is probably the best scene in the franchise but in my eyes not really an escape scene.
