James Bond.
Whilst I'm still waiting for the next Bond film,I've been browsing about on the net,reading some of the previous actors thoughts on playing the character.
I have read a lot of the late Ian Fleming's books he wrote,and it seems he did want Bond to be a dark character,even though he fights for the good guys.His vices are:wine,women and fast cars.I did enjoy reading Goldfinger,as that was an excellent read.The film was good fun too,apart from that scene in the aircraft hangar with the blokes in trouble.I utterly despised seeing that.
I was curious to read about Timothy Dalton's performance as Bond.I did enjoy watching his two films:The Living Daylights and License to Kill.
The Living Daylights didn't really have much humour involved in it,as Dalton had discussed it with the late Albert Broccoli,about playing Bond as a much more,darker bloke,and I think that showed.It wasn't good to see Maraym D'Abo,who played the leading lady in the film,not happy with her damsel in distress scenes.It was still a good Bond film,but the path had now turned away from the likes of the late Roger Moore,who always provided a great sense of humour,had disappeared forever.
When Daniel Craig took over in his first performance in the role Casino Royale,you could tell they wanted the violence much more darker and grittier.When I first watched it,I was appalled.I couldn't believe they'd taken this route.I was so used to the fun in the Bond films.
Even so,I still look back on the new direction,and it's still James Bond,and he still gets to beat the bad guys,although at a tremendous cost at times.
Whenever the next film is,I'll definitely be interested,although I have read Daniel Craig was being offered,a helluva lot of money to keep on playing the role.I was stunned to read him,being offered 25 million!
Outrageous.
