@BadSocialism Also has the best theme song of the modern Bonds.

@BadSocialism Indeed. Though I dislike it when that’s called the more realistic Bond… …. Wasn’t he poisoned into a cardiac arrest where the only solution he required was a defibrillator in his car? Then he just… finished the movie? You don’t even need an antidote? I buy invisible car more.

@BadSocialism I'd give the Dalton ones an honourable mention in that catergory. Remember thinking that he was the first actor that had maybe read the books.

@BadSocialism @un_a_valeable honestly rewatching the connery bonds that's kind of what jumps out at you--the whole act is that connery *plays* at being a posh englishman, but he very much is a thug and a killer underneath it's that tension that makes the performance compelling

@BadSocialism thug in a tux, thank you very much

@BadSocialism Whut

@BadSocialism The first since Lazenby that felt like the books

@BadSocialism I like how the different men who have played James Bond over the years all had their own interpretation on how much of him is a thug and how much of them is the distinguished British Navy officer spy.

@BadSocialism Yeah, this guy was not sophisticated. He was a checkers player. Didn't even know the correct temperature to serve Sake. I love when someone asked him "shaken or stirred," and he was like, "who the hell cares?" I'm guessing that got a big laugh in the theaters.

@BadSocialism Bond “really is” how Sean Connery portrayed him as in the original movies. Especially since Ian Fleming was involved and approved. Casino Royale was a complete bastardization of the character which intentionally pissed all over everything that came before it.

@BadSocialism No....He was never a thug....Thugs aren't trained and have no self control.

@BadSocialism yeah, that fight scene was the best, the most intimate action scene ever in a Bond film

@BadSocialism Hell yeah!!!!

@BadSocialism With a drinking problem

@BadSocialism I don't know, Quantum of Solace he is literally just on a revenge killing spree.

@BadSocialism the Dalton films do that too - are arguably better at it too

@BadSocialism A cardboard booby

@BadSocialism this is the most "Bond is a Hammer" movie.

@BadSocialism And a boring sexist one at that. Can't stand any of the Bond films.

@BadSocialism License To Kill is pretty good, too. Dalton had a way of portraying the cold sociopath seeking revenge
