SKYFALL Bond: Daniel Craig - 2 tusks This was Craig's best performance as Bond yet. He wasn't as brooding and was a little bit more fun. We see a range of emotions. His character has certainly matured since we last saw him building upon what we see him become at the end of Quantum. This [...]
QUANTUM OF SOLACE Bond: Daniel Craig - 2 tusks No huge change from Casino Royale. He's a bit more brooding at the beginning of the movie and it takes the entirety of the film for him to get past the events of the previous film and finally show some levity. He has some great moments [...]
Back in 2008, I watched the first 20 Bond films in one year and gave reviews as I did so. I have not yet done this for the Daniel Craig films and am now rectifying that as we approach the U.S. release of Skyfall. CASINO ROYALE Bond: Daniel Craig - 2 tusks A return to [...]
DIE ANOTHER DAY Bond: Pierce Brosnan - 1 tusk I feel sorry for Pierce because in spite of not really having a high opinion of his third entry, he really deserved better than this to go out on. This winds up being Brosnan's Moonraker. (And calling it that might be a compliment.) In spite of [...]
THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH Bond: Pierce Brosnan - 2 tusks For the most part, I have no major problems with Pierce Brosnan. He really does a good job taking the style of Roger Moore and infusing action into the role. There are glimpses of ruthlessness in this movie that I think do harken back [...]
TOMORROW NEVER DIES Bond: Pierce Brosnan - 2 tusks I will admit it. I was wrong in my previous review. Brosnan turns in a stronger performance in this one than I had previously remembered. In fact, I liked him better in this one than in GoldenEye. As a character, I wasn't a big fan of [...]
GOLDENEYE Bond: Pierce Brosnan - 2 tusks Brosnan slips comfortably into the role, a role he almost filled two movies previously. I've heard a lot of people say that Brosnan is the best Bond since Connery. Personally, I think he sets the stage here for being more of a follow up to Moore. I think [...]
LICENSE TO KILLBond: Timothy Dalton - 2 tusksMaybe he wasn't perfect in Living Daylights, but he's perfect now. The infallible nature of Bond is stripped away. Controlled and channeled emotion is infused into the character. He's ruthless. He's a one-man army. Simply awesome.Girl: Carey Lowell as Pam Bouvier - 2 tusksI didn't really buy into [...]
THE LIVING DAYLIGHTSBond: Timothy Dalton - 2 tusksWhile not a perfect Bond, Dalton manages to rid the character of all the stiffness infused into the role by Roger Moore. He comes closer to Connery's Bond in tone, although he infuses more humanity into the character than either Connery or Moore ever did. This was a [...]
Those who know my feelings about this movie are in for a surprise.A VIEW TO A KILLBond: Roger Moore - 1 tuskHonestly, I'm surprised I'm doing this, but I'm giving Moore a tusk on this, his final installment in the franchise. I'll admit that he grew on me. Despite his age, he turns in a [...]
