Bond 22 Less Serious, More Comedic; Bond 23 Set for 2010
Summary
After the overtly gritty and serious Casino Royale, I personally predicted that after a few dark Bond movies they'd try to pump in goofy humor again. Turns out they are, and could actually start as early as the next Bond. Back to Article

on Jul 17 2007 11:59 AM In reply to this comment (#936186) Outstanding! Two for two! Why is this crap so funny to me? I must be overly tired... (Reply to this) |
on Jul 17 2007 12:42 PM C'mon, everyone! Don't sound so negative! The next movie is gonna be like "Octopussy" and we know what a super Bond classic that piece of **** is! Why don't people ever realize that it's better to just leave well enough alone? The new Bond format worked. Why mess with it? Stupid, stupid producers. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 17 2007 12:59 PM Well like many of you I'm not very happy about this.. but as Dominem said we have to have faith and hope that it turns out well.. but yeah if it turns out like any of the Brosnan movies (after Goldeneye) then this is not good at all. I was happy with dark and gritty..and actually there were still SOME funny parts in Casino Royale (Reply to this) |

on Jul 17 2007 02:01 PM Big budget movie trying to be funny... UH OH!! Hahah, remember when they spent 200 million on a comedy that wasn't funny? I believe they called it "Evan Almighty". I sure hope they are all politically correct jokes and FCC approved! (Reply to this) |

on Jul 17 2007 02:43 PM Oh come on. As if James Bond isn't allowed to have a sense of humor. Seriously, I doubt they'll be turning it into Austin Powers anytime soon. But please, Bond is nothing without a LITTLE cheese, and a good helping of double entendre. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 17 2007 08:26 PM I can't believe RT actually bought into this tabloid rubbish. Daniel was clearly joking and it has been taken out of context. The Daily Express really twisted his words. Here is the real interview from INTERVIEW MAGAZINE! Q: You managed to make it(the role) your own. A: We will see. Q: You've already done it--we don't have to see. And the only contentious issue when you were offered the part was the fact that you're blond. A: They just want more gags. The next one's going to be a lot funnier. Q: Octopussy kind of gags? A: Yeah. Octopussy. ***** Galore. They're all great names. But that's the thing; all the Bond jokes have been flipped on their heads. They've all gone beyond... Should we order a bit more wine, so I can think straight? (Food is delivered to the table.) (Reply to this) |

on Jul 17 2007 10:42 PM Whoever is worried about this really shouldnt be. I have read articles time and time again, (recently) stating that Bond 22 will continue the story arc of Casino Royale and that subsequent Bond outings will follow the exact style and themes created in the first one which basically began a brand new series of Bond films (Just like Batman Begins). Because he "became" Bond in the first one, it gives him more incentive to use one liners and crack jokes just like traditional Bonds did. Sean Connery used to make corny jokes all the time and wasn't always all that serious either, just like Moore. Its just the character that Bond is and has become from Casino Royale. With Paul Haggis back on board, and Morc Forster directing, Craig will have no problem astounding us once again with this new Bond. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 18 2007 12:46 AM PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't mess up what Casino Royale started!!! Casino Royale, imho, is the best Bond film ever....and I've seen all of them, most twice! Keep it dark and gritty people!! Please don't F with what works!!! (Reply to this) |
on Jul 18 2007 04:08 AM In reply to this comment (#938131) No, I hadn't noticed, rtalligan. I'm not much of a lifer on these boards. I don't guage my popularity with how many reactions I get...but thanks for noticing. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 20 2007 10:57 AM ok.... fair enough? (Reply to this) |

on Jul 22 2007 12:12 AM So I guess we can look forward to Daniel Craig saying stupid lines like "you get the point" when he offs someone. Casino Royale worked because they cut all that crap out and didn't patronize the audience for once. It's maddening to think how much the people making these movies actually loathe the people who watch them. (Reply to this) |
