As for the recent direction of the bond movies, I have to say I LOVE casino Royale. I have watched that movie like 20+ times and still love every minute of it. It was very well done and Daniel Craig is a better bond than Pierce ever was....

Looking back I though that Pierce did a good job in goldeneye, but every movie after that got worse and worse.

So I have high hope for QoS to be just as good as CR. It could be a let down, but lets hope they stick with the winning formula they had with CR.

It's been said that Goldeneye was written for Timothy Dalton. Which could explain it being the anomaly of the Brosnan era.


Craig is a great Bond. And if QoS is anything like Casino Royale, I'll be very happy.

I would believe that... they typically like to sign a bond for a minimum 3 films and Dalton must have backed out of his third.

In any event I am glad Dalton didn't do it since he was no the best bond...

technicaly this is the 21st Bond Movie, Never Say Never wasnt written or produced by the broccoli prodction company

Can you say bond geek?

While I do agree with you about never say never again not being a bond film... MGM bough the rights back in 1997 and added it officially to the bond films...

so they call it an official one...

But you sir would be correct...

(high fives you as a fellow bond geek).

No. The First Casino Royale was actually a Made for TV movie in 1954 and then again in 1967 Staring David Nevin and Peter Sellers but it isnt considered a Official James Bond Film.

oh and MGM sucks Never Say Never will never be a real bond movie. Didnt Roger Moores , Octo***** come out the same time?

No I believe never say never again was 1983 and was a remake of thunderball. It was made to compete with octo***** which was also 1983 and the second to last roger moore film.

Roger moore's first movie was live and let die in 1973 I believe.

And no casino royale was a TV as was said... the first bond movie was Dr. No in 1962 and still one of the best.

Funny thing to me is... NSN was just a remake of Thunderball. Oh well... I am a fan of the whole series, although Roger Moore was my least favorite.

Discuss...

Yeah NSN was just a remake of thunderball... after it, MGM bought the rights to "james bond" so that it wouldn't happen again...

I find it a bit odd that roger moore is your least favorites. I think he did a great job and has a lot of good bond films. I had a bit of a hard time not putting Moore in front of Craig, but Craig did such a good job in CR that I had no choice. CR is one of the top 3 bond films for me.

Don't mean to be odd... its just an opinion!

I just never liked Moore's delivery of Bond's puns... and he didn't come across as physically imposing enough. I really liked Roger Moore as "The Saint," though!
