James Bond in 25 chapters
By saving the world, showing off and systematically presenting himself as if everyone knew him, the world’s least secret secret agent has become an icon of cinema and popular culture. James Bond, that is to say 007he has in fact experienced more adventures, relationships, enemies and challenges than any other hero on the big screen.
Waiting for a new 007 film to be put into production, after Daniel Craig’s departure in 2021 Death can waitAmazon, of which MGM became a subsidiary, made the 25,007 movies. Fans will therefore be able to sweeten the wait by immersing themselves in the saga right away James Bond vs Doctor No Until Death can wait.
How to approach these films? In chronological order? Out of affinity with the six actors who played James Bond, so six very different periods? This is because with 25 films spread over more than 60 years, James Bond has crossed different eras and therefore different genres of cinema, without changing the profound nature of his recipe.
Dark and then funny?
So film noir fans with a dramatic bent might first consider Timothy Dalton, arguably the most gifted actor to take on the role, for two films in the late ’80s: License to kill AND Killing is not playing.
On the contrary, those who love great entertainment that takes on a “grand Guignolesque” dimension will easily succumb to the syrupy charm of his predecessor Roger Moore and his adventures that border on the absurd and make you smile. The English actor, if he does not reach the level of popularity acquired by Sean Connery and Daniel Craig, holds the record for the number of 007 films made. 7 in total, with some notable ones like The spy who loved me AND Moonrakerand others more superfluous such as Dangerously yours OR Octopussy.
After the interlude form provided by Timothy Dalton, who was supposed to be the 007 of Golden eye but having thrown in the towel following excessive production delays, Pierce Brosnan will take over with a seductive fusion between the style of Sean Connery and that of Roger Moore. Of the 4 films in which he appears we obviously remember the excellent one Golden eye and the effective Tomorrow never diesmuch less the following two…
Daniel Craig or Sean Connery?
Ultimately, knowing where and with whom to start is solved quite easily. Or in the end, with a Daniel Craig who revolutionizes the role at the top Royal Casinogets lost How comforting but find the peaks with Sky fall. Today he is considered Sean Connery’s only competitor in the collective consciousness, despite the work of release Death can wait which divided audiences, his 2006 and 2012 films are indisputably among all the Top 5.
And if there was only one left, who besides Sean Connery? The one who first embodied the paper character born from the pen of Ian Fleming, and then created him in the cinema with James Bond vs Doctor No. Archetype of the fictional western hero of the 50s and 60s, he defined the character’s appearance and mannerisms to such an extent that even the excellent On Her Majesty’s Secret Serviceworn by George Lazenby for his only appearance as 007, it failed to entirely convince.
Forced to leave the pension he took after You only live twiceSean Connery returns for the -bad- Diamonds are forever. However, with monuments Golden Finger AND Operation Thunder, as well as the very charming Good kisses from Russiaremains the iconic James Bond whose shadow still weighs heavily on the present and future of the saga.
