The Ultimate 007 James Bond Thread - Blu-ray Forum

I've done a search but I can't find an ultimate James Bond thread. They all seem to be focus on either the Blu-rays or some aspects of the mythos but not an all-encompassing thread that covers it all... so I started this one!

I thought this would be a decent place to discuss all things Bond, without having to worry about spoilers in the thread of whichever latest Bond film is currently in cinemas. I think it's a tad unfair to ask people to post their opinions in spoiler tags for a film that's been released cinematically.

Anyway, I've got to say I was quite hesitant about the selection of Daniel Craig as Bond when it was first announced nearly 10 years ago. I wasn't part of the mob that wanted him lynched for being blonde, but I didn't think he had "it". A part of me still thinks there's something quite un-Bond-like about him, but performance-wise (taking into account the obvious creative direction of Craig's era of Bond) I think, from what I've seen in CR, QoS, and Skyfall, he's rather good.

He won me over quite quickly when I saw CR for the first time. His callous interruption of Dryden's patronising attempts at worming out of a dicey situation with the excellent line, "Considerably" was perfect. The dull thud of a silenced gunshot which sends the old man sprawling was sheer class. The theme song kicks in and I'm thinking, "Yep, this is awesome."
