After three months, 21 movies, and innumerable double entendres, I have finally finished watching all the James Bond films. That's right, all of them.*
I love Casino Royale. Like, really love it. It is just a wonderful, well crafted movie, Let alone a Bond film. Daniel Craig is fantastic. But I'd never seen another Bond film. So in light of Quantum of Solace coming out this year, and my obsessive nature, I decided to watch them all. Save for two instances, I saw them in order (my Dad wanted to watch Goldfinger with me, and The World is Not Enough wouldn't play on my computer).
Sean Connery was amazing. Cause he's Sean freakin' Connery. I actually thought On Her Majesty's Secret Service was pretty good, but who knows where George Lazenby would have gone after that. Hated Roger Moore - too jokey, too suave, not enough bite. Timothy Dalton was not attractive (I have no appreciation of butt-chins) and it was so eighties. Pierce Brosnan was alright, but things were too gadgety and the stories totally stupid.
And that's that. Man, if I drank, I would totally need a martini. The closest I can get to an actual Bond clip is this Quantum of Solace video game trailer. Definitely not as good as the real thing.
*My list is in order of EW's rank of all the Bond films.
