[QUOTE="lissilambe, post: 2660705, member: 11902"] Sadly, the more the movies try to resemble the original novels in feel and atmosphere, the weaker the box office performances. On Her Majesty's Secret Service, License to Kill, both did a great job of capturing the feel of the books. Many Bond afficianados (not all, I won't even claim a majority just to save my hide :) ) now feel those are two of the better entries. So it's a real tough call for the producers to make. Personally, I liked the Brosnan performances (even if some of his movie entries weren't great). However, my personal favorite two were From Russia With Love (Connery's best entry for me), and OHMSS. Lazenby was a very good Bond, but sadly looked too soft physically to make a strong impression. Bond needs to be big time, over the top action at this point, with gadgets and all the acoutrements, but the best entries shine through, and thankfully, any new entry is likely to pick up fans because of the different equations used in each. I think that's a great thing. This one doesn't work, next one will, because enough people will like this one to keep the next coming. A double-edged sword, perhaps, but hey, that's life. :D Personally, Craig looks promising, I'd like a bit of a harder edge, and I'll be waiting for the final product to hit the screen before I make a final call. Take care, Don [/QUOTE]
