For some reason, that's neither fashionable nor appropriate.
I want to see a return to some of the ridiculous, OTT villains like they used to have - the Jawses, Samedis, BlofelRAB, Nick Nacks and Oddjobs. They made me laugh, yet still always reminded us that they were dangerous soRAB and not to be messed with.
The 'serious' villains are just boring - some of the worst being Renard from TWiNE and that old fart Carver from TND. They're just normal blokes! At least Sanchez from LtK, for example, was so vicious that he commanded respect from the viewer because he just could not be messed with. Likewise Trevelyan from GE, because he had a storied past with Bond/MI6 and had mucho dangerous ambitions.
Bolivia the country can bog off. Not interesting. I want to see someone blowing up the world, not causing a little water crisis in a shithole.
how can people forget about David Niven in the original Casino Royale? He makes Lazenby look like quality! Best is Brosnan for being the darkest and meanest Bond.
Because calling the 1967 spoof Casino royale a Bond film is a complete insult to the series. It never did and never will count as a Bond film. Thank goodness CR was finally made as a proper film.
