In trembling anticipation of the imminent release of "Skyfall" here's my take on a "Battle of the Bonds" theme.
My thoughts are: All the Bonds have their own qualities: Connery: louche, violent & great Iconic movies. Lazenby: action packed and Diana Rigg. Moore: colourful characters, light comedy and grand spectacle. Dalton: hard nosed, splendid take on the character. Brosnan: slick combination of Connery/Moore, marvellous updating of the concept. & then came Daniel.... Craig OWNS this character now. His furious, bustling Bull-Like take has reinvented the canon for a new generation. The first guy, since Connery, who actually looks like he CAN do all the things his character can do.
We're locking into "Skyfall", in I-Max, this Sunday and excitement is at fever pitch. The key ingredient this time, I feel, is Sam Mendes. He is, arguably, the best director EVER to get his hands on Bond. We can only speculate what Hitchcock (offered it but turned it down) and Spielberg (wanted it but never offered it) would have done...while salivating as to what Nolan WILL do with it in 2014!
Excelsior Out!
