Pretty good. Especially in Casino Royale, he played a much more 3-dimensional Bond than we'd seen before, although that's arguably a function of most of the previous' films slavish devotion to a formula that had gone quite stale somewhere around the Moore era.

I'd be a good James Bond
Everybody slags off Moore , but I though he was excellent not in the Sean Connery but still good.
He has some of the best one liners in any Bond film and some of the best gadgets , who could forget the Lotus sub boat.
The film scripts let him down , Moonraker was just dreadful , but the one liner at the end is the best ever.
I would not mind a remake of some of the Moore Bond films , with better scripts they could be quite good , would love for Moore to make a cameo in one of them
The Casino Royale movie was a relaunch of the franchise with that been Bonds first mission as a 'double O' and the movies are just following on from there so what the 5 previous Bonds have done is irrelevent in this set of movies.
Casino Royale was great, Quantum was shite, it felt like it was trying to be a Bourne movie. I hope with Mendes directing the next one it will be a little less frantic. It also needs a MUCH better story in general.
I believe they are doing about 5 movies that all continue on from each other or atleast thats the intended plan, I get the feeling Quantum will fit in more once the story is complete, it did seem to move through the story quite quickly though.
Quantum of solace had the lamest bad guy ever.
ahh OK I did not know that. Cheers
Details on the new one..
BBC News - Bond film called Skyfall
Bardem, Fiennes, Finney all cast. Sam Mendez to direct. Has potential.

This is a much better thread Solius. Deal with it.
Sol, delete that thread please.
This thread covers the whole Bond gambit. Yours is just a bit too obvious.

It's the only honourable thing to do.
Goldfinger is on itv4. He's playing golf with Goldfinger at the moment. Not exactly covert espionage is it?
Shittest spy, ever.
Shittest spy, ever.
Goldfinger doesn't know he's a spy. He just thinks he's a cnut.
The film is 45 years old , cutting edge for 1964.
Did he not see him in that thigh length baby blue fluffy romper suit?
He's just run a woman off the road just so he can pick her up and shag her. That's incredibly rapey.
To be honest, he's fantastically rapey in this one. He certainly forces himself on Pussy Galore.

Nah he knew she had just tried to shoot Goldfinger , he just was her to know he knew.
Pussy Galore was stunning.
How many would like a car with an ejector seat in in.
You expect me to talk
No , Mr Bond I expect you to die
No , Mr Bond I expect you to die
No point expecting him to act...
Well, not if it involves accents.
Yep, I agree. I had it wrong, and for some reason assumed that Roger Moore was starring in Goldfinger, years before he landed the Bond role.
Meanwhile, the actor who played Pingu in Nathan Barley has been cast as "Q" in the next bond film.
*Please don't make it silly, please don't make it silly*
*Please don't make it silly, please don't make it silly*
Also, Goldfinger has one of the most classic Connery-as-Bond moments..
Whishaw's a good actor. He's done some pretty serious stuff besides Barley. Odd choice making Q younger than Bond though. Won't please the kind of people who wrote into the Daily Mail cos Daniel Craig was blonde.

Thunderball on ITV 4 now.
Love the rocket pack he uses in this.

Live and Let Die is my fave but it's massively racist so doesn't get much play nowadays.
JW Pepper should have had a spin-off movie after that great line from TMWTGG..."Git your cotton-pickin' schnozz out of ma pants, boy"

quite possibly the worst Bond film is on now ITV4 , Moonraker , mind you it does have possibly the best one liner in it.
the entire bond catalog on Blu-Ray soon..reasonable too.
'A woman'
I've just watched Quantum of Solace for the first time properly (I tried once, and sort of lost interest) While it is admittedly pretty uninvolving and shorn of, well anything particularly defining in anyway, I'm staggered there are people who'd put it below Die Another Day in the pantheon. feck, even Moonraker is well above Die Another Die. Everything about that is rubbish. A quantum of rubbish.
What Quantum loses in pretentious Opera shootouts and bafflingly rubbish name it just about claws back in Craig's performance, pant wettingly hot Bond Girl and visible cars.
It was a bit dull by comparison but at least it didn't have Halle Berry, Mr Kill, MADONNA!!! a camp plastic disco ice palace and this....THIS feckING MONSTROSITY IN IT!.
Anything Moonraker might have going against it is more than made up for by "I think he's attempting re-entry sir".....Die Another Day had THIS feckING MONSTROSITY IN IT!!
It's the Batman & Robin of Bond. Anyone who doesn't hold it in the deepest contempt should be hung at dawn for treason.
Anyway....In lighter news.

Daniel Craig just isn't James Bond. The series has lost me.
Many of the recent bond films have blurred into each other in my memory. Meaning I now avoid watching any of them in case they turn out to be the one where he spends the entire film sitting around playing cards.
Is Quantum of Solace that one? Or is it the other, more entertaining one which came after that? The one with the hotel in the desert which was built on top of some fuel rods for some reason, and then exploded...I liked that one, even though it was awful.
Also, any faults with Moonraker are instantly voided due it having a giant moon lazer fight at the end, and because it's got a guy with metal teeth in it, who possesses the unparallelled ability to bite things, with his teeth.

Poor Pierce......such a great Bond........ruined by by 2 terrible scripts, and 1 pretty mediocre one, and obviously Goldeneye. The GOAT Bond film.
I love Bond will watch them all and have done many times.
Pierce did suffer from some bad scripts but no more that Moore did some of his were really bad , but still they are all worth watching.

As if by magic, Die Another Day is on ITV2 now. Don't watch it. But if you do insist on watching it, like me, you better constantly undermine it with pithy quips about how shit it is.
