1. Goldeneye was good. Not great, but good. Brosnan was ok, but not the best
Bond ever, as has been said around my town.
2. I am probably one of the few people who actually enjoyed Dalton's Bond. I
thought he brought emotion to the role (when finding Felix's wife dead and when
"resigning" from hmss). I was sorry to see him go!
I like Brosnan as much as I liked the other ones. It's too bad that the world was
not ready to accept his kind of Bond.
3. I said "resigning" because I don't believe M took the resignation seriously.
If you remember, he showed concern when bond took off after resigning. I think
he unofficially agreed with bond. And remember, Bond tried to resign in ohmss,
even though Moneypenny only requested two weeks. M knew what had happened
(remember M saying "and what would I do without you, Ms. Moneypenny). M also had
to know that bond denied strict orders by attacking blofelds encampment on the
mountain. I believe that M says and does what is offically expected of him, but
also doesn't push issues that are forgotten. Therefore, I don't believe that
Bond ever had to be re-admitted to hmss. M never accepted his resignation.
That's a given. I am sure that M welcomed Bond back into the fold with open
arms. In Key West, M let him go because he knew that Bond couldn't go back on the
job without extracting revenge.
4. Someone commented on a newsgroup that Sean Connery should come back and play
M. What a great idea! Nothing against the new actress, but I just thought that
would be very neat. (sort of a guest appearence, as in Robin Hood, with Kevin
Costner).
I can't agree with anyone who says that Connery should return in some part. That
would be the ultimate in cheesiness and would make me abhor the series (and the
producers) forever. The idea is just absurd!
Hope you enjoy my comments. I don't tear apart a film into minor details. I try
to see if I can just sit back and enjoy it. I enjoyed Goldeneye. It wasn't the
best, but hell, it wasn't Casino Royale either!
