After nobody male villains in the post-Dalton era, they finally get Javier Bardem to step up (the first memorable villain since Robert Davi in “Licence to Kill”)
I liked Sean Bean as Trevelyan (Goldeneye is one of my favorites but I still think it would have been better with Dalton), and Elektra in TWINE was a great villain, Robert Caryle was dreadfully boring but he was pretty much just her flunky, she was the main villain.
As I said I was surprised that I liked Bardem's performance, I never liked him. The first 2 Craig villains were zzzzzzzzzz. Maybe Potter can surprise us too?
Next, they’re going to say Radcliffe will be playing Blofeld.
Ha. I was thinking perhaps they should use Blofeld. He is supposed to be a master of disguise but turning into Harry Potter would be pushing it.
They turned into cartoons with the switch from Sean Connery. Even Lazenby's Bond was still okay.
What I'd really like is something along the lines of "The Man Who Would Be Bond" that was set during WWII, and showed the life of Ian Fleming (yes, it was most certainly embellished).
Make the original Bond stories, set in the original period of the books. Complete with nekkid women and all. The movies really were cartoonish compared to the books.
What's interesting to me, is that Daniel Craig is the Bond I see when reading the books when it deals with the cold, calculating, get-the-job done nature of the character. But Connery is the Bond I see when reading pretty much any of the banter with other characters, and the women.
If they could mix Craig's ruthlessness with Connery's charm, it would be perfect.
