What actor has the best take on the Bond character??
Everyone had his own take of the character. Sean Connery is the more classical Bond since he was the first actor to play him, George Lazenby only made Bond in one movie where he was the most romantic Bond, Roger Moore was the more funny Bond, Timothy Dalton was the more brutal Bond, Piesrce Brosnan made the more action Bond and Daniel Craig made the more realistic Bond. The only way to everyone choose what Bond they prefer is to see all the 25 movies and make their own conclusions.
For me Sean Connery and Daniel Craig because he has that Sean badass style and maybe Daniel is even more badass. Good decision to see this new saga, after having finished Mission Impossible, James Bond is another of the classic spy sagas, I think you will really like these 5 movies with Daniel Craig
Timothy Dalton did the dark and serious Bond almost 20 years before Daniel Craig and should get more credit.
It's a toss up.
The late, great Sir Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.
Both caught the flavor of the character as an secret agent that could be savage and have the heart to be this bold.
Here's my ranking of the actors:
6. Roger Moore
5. Pierce Brosnan
4. George Lazenby
3. Timothy Dalton
2. Sean Connery
1. Daniel Craig
The guy Bond was chasing in Madagascar is Sebastián Foucan, one of the founders of Free Running, which is a form of Parkour.
He's also the co-founder of Parkour. Free-running is what he called it when they split.
@@mudejartrainingnaturalscie6938 well free-running also emphasizes movement as expression, not just to get from point a to point b.
That torture part was gruesome but the way they put humor in it with Bond’s responses was box office gold 😂
And there was more in the script.
*Bond:* I always knew you were a sore loser.
*Le Chiffre:* ME sore?
The shower scene was scripted with her having taken her clothes off but Daniel Craig said it wouldn't make sense for her to take her clothes off when she was that distraught. It's little details like that that makes this movies special.
It also would’ve been a cheap opportunity for nudity like “omg a naked girl” so props to him for saying something because it would’ve come across as exploitative and weird.
Yet sad however that she undoubtedly said the same thing and was ignored.
It would have given the movie an R rating. It wouldn’t have worked for marketing purposes.
@@christhornycroft3686 ??????????????????? No. They would've just shot it so you don't actually see her nude parts, my guy.
@@christhornycroft3686 more like a PG-13 Rating. Just as long as they dont show nipples or anything below the waist. And last I heard, this movie is definately not European.
Both Daniel Craig and Eva Green were amazing in this film! Their chemistry as James Bond and Vesper Lynd was electric and made the film work so well at the end.
I agree their chemistry was good BUT her heavy Cleopatra eye makeup was distracting and unnecessary, at least to me.
I’m pretty sure the guy James Bond chased at the beginner was one of the OG Freerunners
Meant beginning lol
He's often called the 'Founder of parkour/freerunning' somethin like that, im not exactly sure who he is or what he did
It's Sébastien Foucan the founder of free running.
He is the one who litterally invented the term and sport of it
I absolutely ADORE Daniel Craig's take on Bond, both in how there is an overaching storyline that connects all of them and the execution and impact it has on James' character. I also just love spy/adventure movies in general (think mission imposible), because of how dumb or nonsensical they get at times. Love it.
"This must be heaven. They're speaking Italian." I love it! 😄
😂😂
Forgot to mention this is also my favorite Bond theme purely because Chris Cornell sings on the track and im a huge Grunge and soundgarden fan. RIP Chris Cornell.
I remember seeing this back when it came out in 2006. Daniel Craig surprised everyone on how well he did with his first Bond movie. I mean he had the theater cheering and clapping for him. Well done 👍
James Bond 007.
Created by Ian Fleming.
Former government operative who became a best-selling novelist.
The first novel and introduction of Bond in this legendary series was published in 1953.
"The spy novel to end all spy novels".
After 20 films, filmmakers wanted to finally bring 007 back to the essence of the original novel and they greatly succeeded.
Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery.
His era is fully connected and well envisioned.
Also this is the 2nd era for Judi Dench as M (after the Brosnan era).
You are both in for quite the journey.
Enjoy fellas.
Huge fan of the Craig Bonds! He’s my personal favorite Bond. The arc they take this character on is really surprising and satisfying.
For me, Daniel Craig is the best one. He brought something new to this character. He brought a sense of more seriousness. Yet he still has those comedic James Bond moments. Pierce Brosnan's Bond is very close behind Craig's
Also the theme songs during his time❤️👌
And you probably knew that Adele did Skyfall since it was a quite big song.
Also Madonna has done one, but I think that one was before Craig's time. If I remember correctly, it was Die Another Day.
Each Bond brought something new. Except George Lazenby, who was c***.
Connery is still up there
While he isn't my favorite Bond, he does have one of my favorite Bond films. This was such a great film.
There is always Paul McCartney with Live and let die :)
Yeah, no. Moore and Connery are tied. The rest don't hold a candle.
40:42 what Bond gave to the dealer is actually a 500K big chip and i love how casual both of them are, i would lost my mind if i was the dealer 😄
Tournament chips have no cash value. Empty gesture.
I remember when this came out I was a little skeptical of Craig, but he absolutely killed it. Eva Greene & Mads Mikkelsen gave incredible performances too. Great movie & stellar reaction.
Damn bro how old are you?
My favorite spoof of Bond is “Johnny English (2003)”. Rowan Atkinson gets promoted when all the 00’s get killed and it’s absolutely hysterical.
This is a great introduction to a favorite actor of mine. Mads Mikkelsen. He is Le Chiffre. And amazing Danish actor. I became obsessed with his films and shows after watching Hannibal (the series). Mads played Hannibal for all 3 seasons and was basically the star and villain 😂
On top of that he’s in the game Death Stranding by Hideo Kojima. He is also a big fan of Mads Mikkelsen added lots actors and likened to his game. It truly is an unique experience to play.
I love him!!!
James Bond movies are rather simple: there is action, fun, gadgets, cars, beautiful women. But I like Craig's Bond the most bc for the first time it feels to me like there is a character growth(or regress) spanning through all his movies, making them connected. I like his take on the character (I hated the last movie tho).
So inconsistent with the writing and movie quality in general with the Craig bond films but I agree. His take and the move to some sort of continuity even if it’s just character development is better but the faults of the other movies outside casino Royale and skyfall hold it back. It can and needs to be perfected
Last movie was great, spectre was garbage tho
I think this is the best Bond movie, just because how it managed transition the Bond franchise into modern times, without losing that Bond feel, it's pretty genius at that. Skyfall is really close, second, may even be a better film, but just on the importance alone it's the best. Also yes I love the opening song and yes it is in my playlist.
I think Casino Royale is straight up a better movie. it's the only Bond movie I go out of my way to rewatch, it's just excellent.
I've loved them all... and I was super SUPER worried when they cast Daniel Craig. I'll be damned though if he didn't completely own and inhabit Bond within the first 15 minutes of the movie. He really took the role extremely seriously and made Bond a real character rather than a caricature of a spy. Craig is the best.
This one most closely shows Bond as he was written. He was an assassin…can be Mr. Suave but, bottom line, he was dangerous! Too many of the versions of Bond became almost cartoonish. Love how he is portrayed by Craig. This one, Skyfall, & No Time To Die are the best of Craig’s 5 films.
This was getting back to more how James Bond is portrayed in the books. DUring the 90s/00s there were some critiscism that it got a bit too action and not enough grounded storylines
There is actually a 1967 version of this with the title, Casino Royale. It was made as a spoof of the spy genre and the 1960's Bond films. Favorite Bond of all time is Sean Connery. He was the original. He set the standard. He was tough, slick, and did everything with great style.
The good thing about the Daniel Craig Bond movies is you don’t really need any familiarity with the Bond franchise. They’re really a complete story unto itself.
Fully on board for a Bond marathon. If you’re doing all the Daniel Craig ones first, then after that, I recommend starting at the very beginning with Dr No starring Sean Connery. As for “the best Bond”, I think it largely depends on what era you grew up in. Pierce Brosnan was my childhood Bond and probably my favourite. They’re all great in their own ways, though. Even George Lazenby, who was only in one film. If you do start at the beginning after the Craig ones, you’ll see just how many films Desmond Llewelyn (the original Q) was in
he probab,y would have continued a little longer but who knows however he died in a car accident. also RIP Desmond Llewlyn
This, The Living Daylights, On Her Majesty's Secret Service and From Russia With Love are my favourite Bond films. It's a perfectly paced, modern 007 movie. The Bond movies have definitely succumbed to the ridiculous pacing of modern action movies, but this one actually works. Thank Martin Campbell.
It will be interesting to see how these guys take to earlier Bond movies if they carry on with them, especially the campy Roger Moore ones and the relatively slow (in relation to modern times) Sean Connery ones. Personally I think that everyone getting into Bond should start with Goldfinger and go from there, as Casino Royale doesn't really represent the series in general (even though it's one of the best).
@@SirHilaryManfat Skyfall is also incredible
@@SirHilaryManfatsadly. I much prefer the more Flemingesque, spy thriller ones. It’s hard for me to get through the sillier ones.
@@christhornycroft3686 I don't think you should be sad, as it's your preference. I agree that Roger Moore Bonds got especially silly, even if I love them nostalgically.
The best Bond by far song is "Goldfinger." Nothing else compares.
Yes! I'm so excited for you to react to these! I know they're not super deep or anything, but I just love Daniel Craig as Bond so damn much! 🤩 It's just really fun action! Hope you like them 😊
36:35 - there is a whole story about the drink. "Shaken, not stirred" means the drink is shaken with ice; while with "stirred" they use a small spoon/want to gently stir the drink with ice. Difference is that if you shake the drink with ice, the ice will shatter into smaller pieces that will melt very quickly in comparison with "stirred" option. Adding of water to the drink makes it less strong and spies have to keep their whits about them. So James orders a watered drink.
You guys should watch Man from Uncle next
Ok great!!
OG James Bond fans will probably disagree, but this is my favorite Bond movie hands down
the opening scene of this movie is ICONIC. it establishes so much about the character of this particular Bond entirely in visual storytelling and through the action, and then the rest of the film is fairly cerebral rather than physical. so clever!
James Bond is one of my top favorite movie characters ever. Great actors have portrayed this man- the late Sir Sean Connery, George Lazenby, the late Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and now Daniel Craig...AMAZING!!! This is 50 years of cinematic history- hoping there's more!!!!!
He looked up the information on a lap-top in her apartment & left it open to draw her attention. By doing it on that lap-top, no one can see what he's up & no one has the information, except her. "Her eyes only".
If you guys want to have some fun, check out the original "Casino Royale" from 1967, with Peter Sellers, David Niven, Orson Welles, Woody Allen, and a whole bunch of other people. It's pretty insane - a total spoof of the Bond franchise, and really wild.
Interestingly, Fleming got the idea for the book "Casino Royale" when he was given a job in WWII to carry out surveillance on 2 important people. They had an apartment overlooking the park in front of the Estoril Casino (in Lisbon, Portugal), which was the biggest casino at the time in Europe. He had the apartment opposite where he would spend hours every day watching their apartment and the comings-and-goings from the casino. The couple? Edward, Duke of Windsor (ex-King of England) and Wallis Simpson.
That’s because the British government were aware of Edward & Mrs Simpson’s fraternisation with Nazis. They had to be watched.
This movie is awesome and great.
I love Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen and Daniel Craig!!! This Bond movie is my fave!😁
The interior of the sinking Venice House was a big set designed to rise and lower built on the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios, England. The exterior was a miniature seemlesly composited into real shots of Venice. The more Bond films you watch (especially the 60's and 70's ones) the more you will see just how amazing many of the sets are.
Okay...you asked for it.
The books were written by Ian Fleming starting in the 1950s, and the first Bond film by EON Productions (the company behind all of the main films) was in 1962. The character was based on a few things, and some might surprise you. Fleming, who served in British Intelligence during WWII, based the character partly on himself and a family member who also was in British Intelligence during the war. The family member was his cousin by marriage, who later gained fame as an actor...Sir Christopher Lee (aka Saruman the White in LOTR and Count Dooku in Star Wars). Lee was suggested to play the first screen villain in a Bond film 'Dr. No'...but was finally cast as the villain in 'The Man With The Golden Gun'.
The order of the films by EON Productions:
Sean Connery as 007: Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice
George Lazenby as 007: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (his only appearance)
Sean Connery: Diamonds Are Forever (back after Lazenby for one film only)
Roger Moore as 007: Live And Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View To A Kill
Timothy Dalton as 007: The Living Daylights, License To Kill
Pierce Brosnan as 007: GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day
Daniel Craig as 007: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, SPECTRE, No Time To Die
In 1983, at the same time as Octopussy with Roger Moore came out, Sean Connery returned a last time to play Bond in the non-EON produced Never Say Never Again...which has a whole huge story behind it. What is funny about Never Say Never Again is that is a remake of Thunderball (some alterations, but the same story).
Personally, I cannot choose between Connery and Craig...both men truly made Bond live.
The best story is 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'...it shows Bond at his most vulnerable, as well as determined. It also makes up the second story of a trilogy of Bond films...You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Diamonds Are Forever...called The Blofeld Trilogy pitting Bond against his main nemesis, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Ironically, the best Blofeld was not portrayed in these films. You will meet the best Blofeld in the Craig films.
The reason why Casino Royale was finally filmed by EON is a really long story...but fascinating. Casino Royale was made as a 1960s TV play with Bond as a CIA agent...it was really bad. Then it was turned into a campy comedy with David Niven, Peter Sellers, and Woody Allen all playing "James Bond" (just different Bonds) and Orson Welles as LeChiffre. It's an odd film.
Henry Cavill, Tom Hiddleston, Rege-Jean Page, Tom Hardy, Sam Heughan, Richard Madden, and others are all in the running for 007. Henry was actually almost cast before Craig because it was down to both men, and Cavill was considered to be too young at the time.
Oh...the Parkour chase...the guy Bond chased was Sebastien Foucan, one of the creators of the sport...so, he did most of his own stunts.
So glad you guys are going to go through the series. Daniel was the best Bond imo, and his arc is really worth the ride through the chapters. I love Mission Impossible, exciting and fun, but nothing hits like Daniel's Bond series.
This is a great choice for your next action franchise after mission impossible considering thats American and now were heading to the UK spy side of things. I hail from the UK (Wales) and this is my favorite James Bond movie. Havent even started watching the reaction yet but i already know im going to love every second! Cheers for this lads :D
This is a reboot to James Bond as Pierce Brosnan was going to play the character one last time, but turned it down. There was going to be a spinoff films involving Michelle Yeoh's character Wai Lin from Tomorrow Never Diesand Halle Berry's Jinx from Die Another Day, but these were scrapped.
Daniel Craig played Bond in:
QUANTUM OF SOLACE in 2008
SKYFALL in 2012
SPECTRE in 2015
NO TIME TO DIE in 2021.
He didn't turn it down... he got fired.
The Bond novels were the origin of what we think of as the modern spy genre. Ian Fleming worked in naval intelligence during WWII and the Bond character was based on several actual field agents he met during his work. When the first Bond movie came out in 1962 (“Dr. No”), it created a massive spy fad in pop culture worldwide. Shortly before his death, JFK said that his favorite novel was “From Russia With Love.” The Beatles included a Bond-theme type intro on their “Help” album. There were also countless movies, TV shows (Mission: Impossible, The Man From UNCLE etc.) that riffed on the Bond genre. I think Bond endures because he is a relatable antihero - a vulnerable human with superhero tendencies. Read the Fleming novels if you get a chance. They’re epic. If you want more Bond movies, check out “Skyfall” and “From Russia With Love.”
Regarding the book: it was indeed the first Bond book by creator Ian Fleming, but because the rights went elsewhere it never got turned into an official movie (other than a terrible comedy). While the events of the book don't start until pretty much Vesper and Bond meet - so the entire first half of the movie is new and just much-needed context for why the poker game is important - the movie is actually surprisingly accurate to Casino Royale the novel. Everything in the novel, pretty much, is in the movie, including (most notably) the entire torture scene and the death of Le Chiffre.
43:49 - I know I shouldn't laugh in that situation... but the way Daniel Craig delivers that line always makes me laugh.
Totally here for Bond marathon. Especially Daniel Craig’s run. He’s my favourite Bond. Casino Royale my favourite Bond film. And has my favourite Bond song You Know My Name! Great reactions guys. Can’t wait for more to come.
Small spoiler for the next movie: Her "boyfriend that was abducted", for whom she initially was forced to betray Bond and country, was actually a member of the organization and he had triced her. I don't mean to spoil, but I want to point out how tragic Vesper's character is. She spied and betrayed, helped kill and Ultimately killed herself, thinking that she was saving two people that she loved (she obviously thought that if she allowed Bond to save her at the End, they would kill her kidnapped boyfriend) but in the end the boyfriend was a liar, and Bond as a resault of her death went back to a life where he might die at any moment.
Daniel Craig's James Bond has honestly recently come to light at how great he's version was, whereas before the final film, I believe there was much controversy. I personally enjoyed every second
This is my favorite Bond movie and one of my favorite movies, period.
Me too!
It would be too long to list all the call backs to previous Bonds in that movie but my favourite is when the bartender asked if he wants his martini shaken or stirred and he replies that he doesn’t care. “Shaken, not stirred” has been a Bond catchphrase since the beginning
Yeah I got that reference!!!
Vesper introduces herself as The Money James replies with worth every penny. (Moneypenny)
The film is a fairly accurate adaptation of the novel, fleshed out with additional scenes to provide action scenes (the novel is more or less the casino scenes and torture scenes). Ian Fleming based the novel on an incident from his own life. During WWII, he was in a casino in Lisbon when he saw some German officers playing baccarat and decided he would wipe them out. Unlike Bond, Fleming ended up losing all his money but a decade later he used it as the basis for his first novel.
The novel is really just the scenes at the casino, which unfold a bit differently as there's little action outside of the card game (the exception being when one of LeChiffre's men presses a gun into Bond's back during the game to force him to fold; I won't spoil how Bond gets out of that though). No fight in the stairwell, no poisoning, and none of the scenes prior to the casino. LeChiffre is an agent of SMERSH, a Soviet agency which is a predecessor to the KGB. It's a SMERSH agent that kills LeChiffre during the torture scene, then cuts the letter S into the back of Bond's hand to denote him as a spy. His death is the end of the story dealing with him or the mission. All that remains is Bond and Vesper falling in love before the final scene in the novel.
In the novel's last scene, Vesper commits suicide at the hotel. Bond enters her room to propose and finds her dead on the bed with a note left behind in which she tells Bond she loves him before revealing she's been a double agent. He throws the note down, utters a single curse word, and imagines Vesper walking through the halls of MI6 with government documents on a silver platter while he plays "Red Indians" (a term LeChiffre uses to describe their dealings which was actually the name Fleming gave to his intelligence group during WWII). Bond commits himself to going after SMERSH which he sees as the hand that holds the whip which makes spies spy. The novel ends with Bond calling HQ, noting it's an unsecure line, then says, "3030 was a double, working for Redland. Yes, I said was. The bitch is dead now."
Fun fact at the end whenever Bond flips the car it's in the Guinness Book of World Records for most flips by a car either in a movie or just. Somehow but it's in the Guinness Book of World Records I know that it might have been broken by now but whenever this movie came out it broke the record
I would LOVE to see you guys react to the entire James Bond series!
What makes Bond so much of a threat is his dogged persistence in pursuit of his goal.
Sean Connery and Daniel Craig are the two best Bonds. Pierce Brosnan started off well with Goldeneye but his last one "jumped the shark", as they say, which led to casting Craig in a Bond that was grittier, more realistic and not the cartoon that Bond films had become. Casino Royale is probably his best, followed closely by Skyfall.
omg yes thank you! this is what i've been waiting for!
Can't wait for you guys to get to skyfall! It's probably the best Daniel Craig Bond movie after Casino Royale and the most emotional one in my opinion. I am loving all the spy movie reactions btw!!
Fun fact: Ian Fleming was a Commander (the same rank as Bond in the books) in Royal Navy Intelligence during WW2.
He was involved in planning several covert operations including Operation Goldeneye (planning for guerrilla operations if Spain joined the Axis powers) and writing the initial memo for Operation Mincemeat (planting a dead body to deceive the Germans into thinking the Allies were going to invade Greece instead of Italy, which was made into a film on Netflix).
He also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Absolute Bond Masterpiece!
Sean Connery, best Bond actor. Casino Royale, best Bond film.
There are 3 Bond Girl tropes: sacrificial lamb, femme fatale (adversarial), and love interest. Vesper embodies all 3, which is why she is my fave Bond girl!
Daniel Craig is definitely my Bond. These films as a collective are the best and contain a whole character arc for Bond in my opinion. This is his origin where he is the most cold & the most reckless. So excited for you guys to react to the rest!
Unexpected reaction but I'm so happy!
My Bond will always be Craig cause I grew up with him but Brosnan is a close second
Ninetails said, "the B-Word" he has officially fallen into national treasure status. Especially with Jane's throwing around the 'F-word"
Hey, you guys are going to do a movie The Menu!? Sorry my English. I am from Venezuela 😊
YES! You ABSOLUTELY should watch all of them even Never Say Never Again.
I'm a wait for you to do the other 21 other films which is when I'll start watching your bond videos.
I like all the movies but prefer original release order.
Ok cool
I would not watch Never Say Never Again lol but I agree otherwise.
@@qwertymanor but it's another Bond movie and if they nvr saw it why not have them make there own opinion of it.
@@MoviesR4Life1 yeah I get you
Great video. James Bond movies is a ride you never want to leave. From the 60's the writing is so good. 😎❤️
This film was a perfect start to the Craig Bond and his Bond film series and believe me mate it only gonna get better. You will love this Bond.
You’ve begun your awesome journey with the Daniel Craig Bond series. So much fun!
"The second is--"
[silencer fires]
"Yes, considerably."
*Excellent* repartee.
The ones with Daniel Craig are the only bond movies I've watched, but my dad has been watching them forever (he was born in '45), but I'll admit this one is my favorite because of Mads and Eva.
If you want to try just one, to check like, go for "Goldeneye", with Pierce Brosnan. Easily the best out of the post-Connery era. And full of memes too.
@@pablom-f8762 I've heard about this one a lot, specially with the Austin Powers parody.
A chance to ramble about the Bond series? Don't mind if I do! I really enjoyed your reaction, as Bond is really embedded into pop culture so it's really nice to see someone experience it for the first time.
The Bond series was created by former government agent Ian Flemming who wrote the stories based loosely on his experiences. As of 2022, the films consist of 25 movies with 6 different actors playing Bond, starting with Sean Connery, who is the Goat, fight me, and ending with Daniel Craig. (Technically it's 26 films but depending on who you ask Never Say Never Again doesn't count as it wasn't made by Eon Productions and didn't have the rights to things like the Bond theme music of classic looking down the gun barrel opening, but did star Sean).
For the most part, all the films are standalone stories and don't really have plot points that carry over, which was why the Craig films were such a departure, as it was a fleshed out connected saga that included details of Bonds backstory and started with him getting his 00 license. Before that, the only real constants were the criminal organization Spectre, and recurring characters like Blowfeld, M, Q, Felix, and Moneypenny. I'm pretty sure the death of a specific love interest in His Majesty's Secret Service is the only time something significant to Bond affects the next film.
The films generally try to have serious stakes and be level headed but they definitely get a little goofy, especially with the villains and Bond girl names. One of the most famous is Pussy Galore. She's awesome. And possibly a lesbian who made an exception. YMMV. There was a bad guy who did voodoo. I think the Brosnan films got a little too goofy though so that's why they made a bit of a U-turn with the Craig films into hard intrigue. You have to ask someone else the specifics, I'm a Connery and Moore girl, so the later films aren't my strong suite.
Needs to be said. Ian Fleming, who wrote the novels was a part of Winston Churchill’s division of ungentlemanly warfare in WW2. Together with Christopher Lee and Roald Dahl, he was one of the original secret agents. James Bond is partially autobiographical, and partly based on the badass exploits of Lee and Dahl.
That’s so awesome
28:44 fun fact: did you know the guy with the scar on his eye is a danish actor.
I urge you to watch whole franchise, in 2020 i watched all of them and until now i watched whole series like 6 times, in love with it. Believe me it will be worth it, there are awesome and less awesome movies but they are all worth watching!!!!
As a big bond fan, these movies with Daniel Craig is my absolute faves and I love them. Craig is my favourite Bond and will forever be. I used to watch Bond with my dad when I was younger so Bond is so nostalgic to me. I LOVE your channel so I would love if you watched them all (with Daniel). Great vid as always🤍
So excited you guys are diving into this franchise! Love that you both had the reaction you did to the gun barrel opening. You're right, it's a signature of the series, and until this movie, it was always the first thing you saw at the beginning of a Bond movie. Since this movie is essentially the Bond origin story, opening the movie with a scene that leads into the "first" gun barrel gag is insanely cool as basically the origin of one of the most iconic elements of the franchise. As a huge Bond fan going into this film, I damn near jumped out of my seat in glee seeing this in a theater lol
Cool reaction guys. This is probably my favorite movie to date.
I’ll be honest my favorite part of this film is mad mikkelsen bc he’s just a versatile actor but he plays villains VERY well. Y’all should watch NBC’s Hannibal. He plays Hannibal Lecter in that series. You don’t even have to watch it in your channel. It’s just worth watching even on your own time 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♀️
i feel like i literally grew up watching James Bond movies, my dad is a big fan and i have so many memories of us sneaking snacks past my mom and watching the movies together (props to my mom for pretending like she didnt know what we were up to even when she would've loved to get us away from the TV lmao). all versions of Bond are definetely cocky bordering on maybe a bit too cocky for his own good but tbh thats part of the charm somehow? cause yeah the bad guys always get the upper hand on him because of it at some point in the movie but the whole point of Bond is that he can get himself out of it and almost make it look like it was his plan all along- he is cocky but good enough to back it up, basically lol
I love the direction Bond took with Craig. I never knew James Bond could bleed! The action is simply above and beyond anything they ever tried before.
Faking a tell is how I play. I just don’t play at casinos….. and not for real money.
I never knew another Bond, but I am excited to learn much more!!
This was fashioned as a sort of prequel to the Bond movies because it is just after he became 007 - he's supposed to be brash, young, brazen, cocky. He is a real man ho in this too! LOL Bond always was, so this shows his beginnings - learning how to be the Bond that became Sean Connery's Bond. I love that! That is why he makes the snide remarks about his now famous martini/line "shaken, not stirred". It builds from the primer to all Bonds: an important opening credits sequence, an important song, an important fight/crazy sequence in the beginning, an important "Bond girl", the cars, the gadgets, the tuxedo, the drink. Great video, as usual! You two are awesome, always. Thanks! Happy New Year!
LOVE this movie! Glad for this reaction!
The first Bond movie was a black-and-white movie so it's a love letter to OG Bond movies. Also, there were first written books by Ian Fleming then in 1962 they started making movies. It's now a billion $ franchise.
The first Bond film was Dr. No; it was not in black and white.
The first James Bond actor to portray the character was Barry Nelson in the 1954 TV special Casino Royale; a year later, Holness took over as the host of the radio show Moonraker on the South African Broadcasting Corporation’s Springbok Radio. Bob Holness, The Second Actor To Portray James Bond, Passed Away In 2012
There was an earlier film version of Casino Royale in the 1960's, but it was a spoof and played for laughs.
Loved watching you two get into this gem, thanks for that.
I hope ya try out the flick the producer's saw that convinced them they had found their new Bond, Matthew Vaughn's Layer Cake (2004). Fantastic film that still holds up so well.
THE best james bond movie ever made! made me want to watch a franchise i had left alone a long time ago. craig is superb. 🧑🏼🍳💋
This movies is on another level. I need to watch it every year.
A great spy thriller movie is Red Sparrow, Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton. No ones reacted to it unfortunately but I loved it. The top runner for the new Bond is Robert Pattinson (Batman, Cedwig in Harry Potter and Edward in Twilight), Regé-Jean Page, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy.
not Henry cavil. He was booted out of the running. As a Brit (not from England, from another British country), bond movies were everyone's childhood, so it'll be so awesome to see you watch these
deadpool 2 did a great parody of a bond opening title sequence, and the guy bond chases in the beginning is the dude who invented parkour
Some notes about the novel:
This was the first Bond novel. It was made into a made-for-tv movie in the 50’s which is why the rights weren’t available until 2006 for the “official” Bond series. There was also a parody film of the Bond movies in the 60’s of the same name.
Since they finally acquired the rights to the first novel, EON productions decided to “reboot” the Bond series, so the Daniel Craig films are a self-contained story with a beginning and an ending and continuity between the films, breaking the previous series tradition of every film being a stand-alone.
The setup in the novel is a little different. It starts with Bond arriving at the Casino. Le Chiffre was a money handler for Soviet intelligence who lost all their money investing it in French brothels before France decided to crack down on them, thereby losing him all the money. The first act of the film was invented to keep Bond more involved.
Once Bond arrives at the Casino the film sticks pretty close to the novel, although updated to take place over 50 years later. One major difference is that Bond meets CIA agent Felix Leiter much earlier, before the game actually starts. Leiter is a recurring character in the novels and the films, showing up in about half of the books and probably a third of the films. In the books he becomes Bond’s best friend and confidant.
The Craig movies are great as a stand-alone series but they take on a little more weight if you have seen the previous films and are familiar with the lore and history of the character. This movie is essentially an origin story for the Bond most audiences expected.
If you want to see previous Bond films that feel similar, I recommend On Her Majesty’s Secret Service from 1969 and the two films Timothy Dalton starred in during the late 80’s, The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill.
Four of a kind is extremely rare, going all in on a full house of Aces and Kings is not a bad play at all.
The opening song is amazing. I regret not seeing the film earlier; it's very well-done and an incredible spy movie.
2:00 "Oh yeah I remember this guy"? Oh come on!!! :D
yay a movie that ive seen! i love your channel a lot :D
That wasn't $100,000 he tipped the dealer. It was $500,000. Gonna be hell on his taxes.
After so many years of Bond and so many actors, in my own storytelling world, I presumed that James Bond was a pseudonym. That the agent who took on the 007 role was thereby known as James Bond.
It makes sense to me, a single person working that life for 50 years?!
Incredible movie! Also, this movie has one of the most chilling and realistic drowning scenes. It makes me uncomfortable every time.
I remember watching this with my brother in the theaters in Helsinki 2007 (in Finland), and literally next day I would travel to Prague in Czech Republic (where the opening scene takes places) for my exchange studies. So opening scene has a lot of nostalgia for me.
