Fuligin posted:Have they all been shitshows behind the scenes? I'm not really up on Bond. In general I've enjoyed the Craig movies a lot more than the Brosnan ones that were coming out as I grew up. Mostly stuff like stuntman injuries or deaths, but Quantum of Solace was made during the Writer's Strike. The script was completed just 2 hours before the strike officially began and Craig had to help rewrite it as they went; the actors basically made up their exact dialogue the day of filming.

I just don't think the whole "I was secretly the ultimate villain behind everything" plot will ever work without a ton of buildup. One movie is nowhere near enough, unless there were actually hints throughout all the prior films as to the mastermind behind it all and everything was planned from the start. There's virtually no way to make that kind of "ultimate evil" plot seem anything but hacked together without lots of work. Making it up on the spot when you need another movie isn't that kind of work.

Steve Yun posted:Casino Royale was Craig's best, Goldeneye was Brosnan's best. Which ones were the best for Dalton and Moore? Moore's best is either For Your Eyes Only or The Spy Who Loved Me, both of which are somewhere in the middle of his run. A View to a Kill would have been much better with improved focus and less "Old man making out with twenty-something woman", especially since it has Christopher Walken and Grace Jones as the villains.
