Showing my age I expect but I have to say that I always thought Ursula Andress absolutely stunning.

She never did much for me (in spite of her being from ~10 miles from where I live), but then I'm not a big Classic Bond fan to begin with. Eva Green all the way for me, baby.

I miss the Bond franchise I grew up with, which was all about pulp fiction plots, megalomaniacs with secret lairs and goofy henchmen, over the top chase scenes, shooting in famous locations, gadgets and future-tech, tongue-in-cheek banter, one-liners, and sexism.
The results have been poor every time they've tried to take themselves seriously and make Bond a grittier character. First with Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, then with Timothy Dalton's second outing Licence to Kill, and now with Daniel Craig. I can't figure out why everybody likes Casino Royale. It was like trying to make a Bourne movie out of a spoof plot.

Are we going to have the "it was better when i was a teenager" argument again?

Joe Cornish agrees with heywood.

Casino Royale feels very different from the Bourne films. And while I'm definitely not the right person to judge a film's Bondness, I disliked most of the Brosnan Bonds that I've seen. Cheesy fun is one thing, dodgy Christmas panto levels of stupid humour is another. At the point where it was before CR, the franchise was at the level of generic self-parody, with plots apparently generated by a computer programme.

Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.

The Brosnan era was a weird one. GoldenEye was really quite good, certainly helped by Sean Bean (and featuring one of the best Bond one on one, mostly unarmed, combat scenes). But after that it all went downhill. One solid moment in the series was the beginning of the last film (can't remember what it was called!) where he is captured by the Koreans. It was pretty dark - probably as dark as the series got before Craig took over - and set the film up to be serious and thus imho, good. How it disappointed.

I can't remember Nostalgia anymore. Was she the one who lead the girl's volleyball team or the one who organized the Russian club and wore glasses?
