DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
I pretty much hate Craig as Bond and all the Craig movies so far especially Skyfall, with all its numerous plotholes is among the dumbest Bond films ever made . . . Silva’s standing on the ladder and Bond stops shooting and talks to him? Q puts the virus-laden software into the CITY MAINFRAME? REALLY? what is the Goldfinger car doing in Skyfall since it has no logical connection to the Craig/007 reboot? were they attempting to sucker back in those discerning few who just don’t like Craig? Since the Craig update is obviously modern, how can you squint and pretend Craig was somehow the Bond driving the car in the Goldfinger adventure in which Bond disparages the Beatles. I know Bond-watchers aren’t supposed to think, but y’all (Craig-Lovers) are claiming Craig is the thinking-man’s Bond. For Craig to be age-appropriate for both Goldfinger and Skyfall Craig would have to be Connery or Moore’s age (Craig was born in 1968). . . so why not bring back Connery or Moore hahaha . . . Sure the producers are proud (they seem to be no longer proud of their pre-Craig efforts, maybe Barbara Broccoli has daddy issues?) to say they are “going back to Fleming” (as they have said many times in the past) but Fleming’s Bond wasn’t humorless or oafish as he is currently being played . .. and in fact I think Craig may have had enough of the humorlessness and oafishness, as he once said he wished they could get back to the old Bond formula . . . and between Quantum and Skyfall he made noises about quitting and that he should never have taken the role in the first place . . .I think he thought Skyfall was going to be as bad as Quantum . . . of course a billion undiscerning dollars later he has changed his mind . . . I do seem to remember him trying to wrap his mouth around a couple of one-liners in Skyfall . . . I thought after a few films I would get used to Craig, but it’s just not happening, he doesn’t look like a Bond, and every time I see a Craig film I feel like I’m not watching a Bond at all. . . in fact he gets stranger-looking with every film, like he should be in a Hobbit movie and not 007

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
The original Bond films were full of plot holes, but they were made for entertainment, films you could take your dad (or share on DVD) and know you would have a good time. The real Bonds kept the tradition of the quality adventure film, with a likable, charismatic hero with an equally riveting villain (and henchman, such as LALD and YOLT : Baron Samedi, Tee Hee, Number 11, Hans). You can actually see the big bucks on the screen, with glittering locations photographed as places you would like to visit. This is not the case with the Craig films. I have no desire to travel to wherever those locations, except for perhaps the Italian Riviera.... but it wouldn't be much fun, since how could one imagine the real Bond there? The real Bonds can be watched over and over. The Craigs can be only watched as just-OK and below generic action films, whose main character can be played by just about any actor, no matter whether he resembles the character, no matter if he has any presence. It's not the plot holes that bother me so much, it's the holes in the main character. I want the plot holes where a stranger/beautiful passionate girl is found in Bond's bed, and he enjoys it! Not a snarl, "What the _____ are you doin' here, ya ________!" Or: Weep, weep, I'm so misunderstood, let me take more screen time with the weepies..... Oh, wait, have to take a call from Mummy, who even monitors me when I'm going into 'action.'

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
There, there, Danny boy, nothing personal. You're really quite dashing, handsome, witty and urbane, although I don't know the meaning of the words. I would even watch you in the new "Bond" film, if they sent it to me free of charge. Can you believe I've never paid to see you in theatres? But again, it's not you, I'm sure you make some great films that will last forever in cinematic history. Very sincere on that.Daniel Craig wrote:Of course I get the weepies on screen.

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
I cant wait for the next couple of weeks to be over so i dont have put up with seeing that travesty of casting ruining James Bond. If this is what Babs likes then i would rather they mothball Bond that put up with more Craig. Casio Royal i went in to open minded, by the time he rolled the Aston i cheered in the cinema. I have not watched it since . Quantum i went as my wife wanted to go, thankfully it was such a souless mess it somehow made it easier to put up with Craig. After I said never again whilst Craig is still there. Ive not seen it again. Skyfall came , a mate persuaded me to go. As soon as I saw Craig's face i knew it was a mistake, i waited till the pre scene finished and got a ticket for another screen . I not seen it, and I wont Spectre either. Bond and I are finished until Craig has gone.
On a happier note i have introduced the kids to James Bond on Dvd, they cant get enough of The Spy Who Loved Me.

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
I hope Craig levels after this. Babs is stuck on him even after he tried to sink the movie. Maybe she had to be Craigs biggest fan in public if she is this stupid irl she will not have a franchise much longer

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
Bond is someone we guys want to be, fantasize to be. Every Bond actors are great looking chaps but Craig... ugh he is not a good looking guy for starter. I know no one in person who like or want him to be in anymore Bond movie. All my mates said the same thing, era of real Bond movies are gone when Craig come into the scene. I only see his Bond movie when its on tv and I like none. I hope he will be replaced after this episode.
BUT I must say, if Craig is in a different spy movie in the first place. I think most of everyone might find him acceptable but as Bond. NO!

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
Hey gentlemen. Haven't been on this site in a few years. Glad my username wasn't deleted. Anyway, just stopped in to see if Craig has earned any new fans. LOL. I was watching a documentary on YouTube last night about Bond and it showed a brief clip of this site. My opinion is Craig is that of my favorite football team the Washington Redskins. You know they suck, but you've been a fan of them for so long that you feel obligated to cheer for them. Casino Royale and Quantom of Solace were horrible. Skyfall...I felt he got a little better. To me, the jury is still out on him. I will be there at 7pm this upcoming Thursday to watch it in IMAX($19.50 per ticket). Let's see if the real Bond shows up.

I will wait for Spectra to show up on tv. I cringe everytime I see Craig as Bond, especially when the Bond theme pops up. Still cannot accept this actor as Bond. Ugh!

Re: DANIEL CRAIG IS A HORRIBLE BOND
LOLOL I did gave him a chance but his bond movies are just an empty shell and residue of the shadow of what it once was. And Craig is one ugly chap. Jeremy Clarkson looks better than him, Rowan Atkinson as well! Heck, I wished its Rowan playing Bond instead of Craig.derekpayne wrote:Countach wrote:
