This is a good point. What they have in common is a darker gritty more realistic portrayal of the character, but that does not mean Craig is a copy of Dalton. Aside from that, there's a lot of differences between them. Moore and Connery both have their character with a sense of humor, but that doesn't mean Moore is a copy of Connery.
Exactly. They are each their own Bond.
That's true.
A shame Caroline Bliss didn't manage to make much of an impact as Moneypenny.
They kept Maxwell for over 2 decades and Bliss got the short end of the stick.
And her most memorable moment is perhaps when she suggests to Bond to listen to her Barry Manilow collection.
I wish they would have kept Bliss for Brosnan's Bond films. Samantha Bond was a horrible Moneypenny. Age isn't a factor because S. Bond is only a few months younger than Bliss. I would have loved to listen to Bliss' Barry Manilow collection

I liked her look the most in GE, after that, she kinda lost her looks a bit. They wrote her as being quite defensive with Bond.
Though I think Bliss was much better looking, it's S. Bond's personality that is the main problem. She doesn't know the difference between playing hard to get and just being mean.

Yep. {[]
She clearly wanted Bond, but all she would do is push him away. I feel like if Bond ever asked her out, she would no longer have any interest in him. Not with the other Moneypennys.
I don't think S. Bond was that bad as Moneypenny, but to each their own.

I would have liked to seen Caroline Bliss have a chance to continue as Moneypenny as well. I liked the Dalton MI6 team of Bliss, Desmond and Robert Brown. Honestly I wouldn't have minded if GoldenEye had that team.....Tim included

Agree. She was written too much in the sense that she was over him. But then again, Bliss was far too interested in Bond - she was too easy. I thought her acting was poor too.
Maxwell is probably the best, but honestly, as much as I love her, she got too old TMWTGG was her last one where she looked okay to me.
I disagree with Jarvio on Kara. I'm with those that say that she's a likeable BG.

Compared to Zorin or Sanchez , Koskov is a little weak....... Still a great movie though -{
I think the ending in Afghanistan is cool , dropping bomb , fighting Necros etc.
I actually like Koskov more than Sanchez.
Sanchez isn't really one of my fave BVs, he comes across too much like a Godfather wannabe to me.
Koskov, on the other hand, feels more like an original villain to me.
Just my opinion.

-Dalton gives a terrific debut performance, owning the part of 007.
-Fantastic action.
-Great chemistry between Dalton and D'Abo.
-Terrific score.
-Whitaker and Koskov are likeable villains.
-Masterful directing from John Glen.
-Saunders is a good Bond Ally.
-Great dialogue.
Cons:
-Complicated plot.
-Necros is a clear Red Grant clone.
-Bond finds raw opium, as he had done previously in FYEO.
Overall, I love TLD, and give it a 10/10.

They really did. She crossed the line into bitchiness...
And with the masturbation scene at the end of DAD. By that time I had given up hope....
Agree. She was written too much in the sense that she was over him. But then again, Bliss was far too interested in Bond - she was too easy. I thought her acting was poor too.
Maxwell is probably the best, but honestly, as much as I love her, she got too old
Now, Smallbone - ooo yeah.
"Better make that two."
Those glasses, the camisole tops under her blouse, the slightly messy hair. I would have her as my secretary any day of the week!
I'm also getting to like Naomi Harris now that she had a bit more to do in Spectre.
Rare even unsigned -{
I had it as a kid, long ago...
