Viewing Thread:
"Bond Films."

I watched The World Is Not Enough last night, and it made me think about all the Bond films I've see (pretty much all of them). They've had the latest on telly over the last few weeks, and one thing struck me about all of them - they weren't as good as the early ones.

Don't get me wrong, I like them, and I don't watch them to complete some sort of moral journey. They are a fun film, with explosions and Bond getting the woman and generally being suave.

But I still prefer the earlier ones, my favourite is Live and Let Die. One of the reasons for this is that the bad guys are actually bad guys. The bloke that is in the coffin with all the snakes, he's scary. And you can tell he's bad, straight away.

In T.W.I.N.E, Robert Carlyle (sp?) isn't scary, end of story. You don't looke at him and immediately think "Oh, bad guy alert." You look at him and think "Look, it's that bloke from Trainspotting, and the Full Monty."

I think he's a great actor, and at the end of the day, he's just doing what the director wants him to, but it just doesn't seem to work - in my opinion.

I also rate Robbie Coltrane and Pierce Brosnan as actors, so it's not as if they had a shabby cast. Coltrane was particularly good actually, and Brosnan gave his usual high performance as Bond.

As I said, I know Bond films are all about fun, and him doing blatantly unrealistic things, but they seem to have forgotten all the things that made the early films so great, and just concentrated on the special effects and the gadgets.

Here's hoping the next one has a bit more substance.

the rumour was that ROBBIE williams will be the next bond.
but i think this rumour has been denied now.

Get It right!!!!!

I think you misheard the rumour.

I heard a rumour about Robbie Williams the singer wanting to play Bond and Ms Brocolli taking a look at him.

Robin Williams can only act in 2 ways, crap comedy or sentimental pap. He would never be considered for Bond.

How many times do I have to tell You it's ROBIN WILLAIMS.

Get It right!!!!!

I like FUDGE!

And who gives a ....... ! calm down m8 just because i couldnt be arsed to read your whole message.
