I think it would be too much of a copy and as you said falling back into the "hero is depressed" chliché.
I didn't get the impression that Bond really LOVES Madeleine anyway, I see her as a regular Bond-girl.
"You see Mr.Bond, you can't kill my dreams...but my dreams can kill you.Time to face destiny" - "Time to face gravity"
Id like to see DC back in a fifth and on an authorised mission. IMO it's totally plausible to have the next film unlinked to SP, so many bond films are stand alone. I think the backstop/gone rogue/ revenge mission have been done enough. I'd love to see DC as Bond do his job as the best agent in the service.

It seemed like he loved Madeleine more than he loved Vesper (which isn't saying much). I don't think Craig's Bond can be compared to the past Bonds, since there is no "regular Bond girl" in Craig's universe. There's Vesper, who he's supposedly in love with, and then there are the one-night-stand girls that almost every Bond film since Goldfinger has had. The ending of SP made it seem like Bond really cared for Madeleine in a way he doesn't usually care for most girls.
I got that he loved Vesper and he said it throughout CR but I'm not too sure about Madeleine.
But either way, I'm not sure I want to see her again because that would mean her death
Like CC, I'd be more than happy about a standalone adventure but including Blofeld (if you know wat I mean)

For me the last 9/10 Bond movie was TLD .... The films since TLD have been good and I have enjoyed them a lot but, at the end of the day, they feel more like another Bond film .... I want the next one to be of the TLD or higher level - action, adventure, stunts, story, great score, etc.
what's you problem man? If I say DAD is now watch MY favourite movie than that is up to me!
Drop your provocative attitude, it is highly annoying and I'm not the only one thinking that!

Ok, so you think that you are entitled to your opinion but for others you have to act ironic .... sounds like you have a clear mindset on what to do ( 8-) )
As for attitude - I think you need to look in to your own attitude first. I have seen many posts by you where you unnecessarily question other ppl's attitude, rudeness, etc. based on your limited experience. So it can also get annoying to see an empty vessel making noise and trying to act like a forum watchdog .... In short, charity begins at home :007)

"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I think attitude is a two way street. Sometimes taking a step back can help to move forward.
I agree with tp, it seems a lot of these threads degrade into one upmanship and insults, non bond fans get rooted out pretty quickly and surely with such a long running thing as Bond will evoke many differing opinions? I appreciate everyone's ideas and it sometimes alters my own thoughts. Live and let live and partake in meaning discussion not antagonistic argument.
I certainly don't blame Waltz; he did the lines he was given, and is generally brilliant IMO.
Agree that he is very good but do you think he was brilliant in SP ? Also agree that he was not given much to work with, but somehow hoped that an actor of his calibre would find a way to turn base metal into gold. I got the impression in interviews that he knew it was not as good as he had hoped and seemed bored by it. I might be making too much of it, as he's a very laid back dude, but he did not 'sell it' very well.
I found Waltz to be an excellent Blofeld---the veneer of gracious host suits him well. If he returns, hopefully he will be written better...and I can envision an arc of sorts for him.

I had little hope that you understand that this is significantly more than your stay - particularly as you have labelled him with "little experince"
Irrelevant comparison .... If 2 months is less, 6 is less too .... Sometimes you don't even understand people despite spending a lifetime with them
Also experience works on many dimensions. For e.g. just talking about forums, you are here since 2005 and that could be your only forum experience. On the other hand, I could have been posting on forums for longer than that .... On the other hand, you could be 60 years old and thus may have more life experience than me but then I could have more business related experience and can turn a company around in 2 months while you probably may not even get through the paperwork .... so there are many dimensions to experience
Additionally, your opinion on how his attitude is could have less relevance than you would like to imagine. As they say "birds of a feather flock together"
Based on my limited interaction with you in 2 months - I have found that you don't like it when people bash RM. On the other hand, you love to bash TD .... If you are good enough to advise others or give certificates - you would have learned to either accept other people's criticism of RM (like I love RM but don't attack people who don't like him and objectively I have rated TD's films higher than some of RM's films) or not criticize TD or his films unnecessarily
As far as I see, you are still learning
Anyways, I feel I have "wasted" enough time on this already ....

Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
and with her an unborn pair of twins!
that would be the most realistic Bond film the critics have always been asking for
The movies after it - with the exception of DAD and LTK did
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
Not one film since TLD has that great balance/mixture of excellent action, adventure, score, story, stunts, etc.
OP and TLD are the last of those breeds
...yes, in YOUR opinion 8-)
Probably a more valid one than proclaiming DAD as the AT favorite, an act that itself questions the ability to think clearly
Drop your provocative attitude, it is highly annoying and I'm not the only one thinking that!
