Given the way the Craig Bond is written/portrayed in comparison to previous Bonds, this seems to me to be more of an indication that Craig's Bond simply isn't used to being Bond yet: Previous Bonds were masters of the quickie and the one-night stand, and the writing/acting of the early Craig Bond may just be meant to show us that he hasn't fully mastered that aspect of the Bond character.<br /><br />Add to this that for most of Casino/Quantum he was pursuing a single woman in more of a traditional romance/monogamy role. In so doing, he ended up getting burned. I think the intent here was to show us WHY Bond becomes such a womanizer as his career progresses: He becomes largely unable or unwilling to seek emotional connection with most women, and thus uses them for little or nothing more than his own sexual gratification.<br /><br />From the other direction, today's audiences expect more explicit content in both action and sex scenes, and they expect movies to have a faster pace than previous generations. The way previous films danced around showing explicit sexual content wouldn't really fly with most people who pay to see movies these days: We want to see at least upper frontal female nudity, if not more. On the other hand, while the MPAA is largely fine with graphic violence, it has a problem with female nudity. Thus, in order to give the audience the action it demands, we see an increase in violence/action and a decrease in sex scenes.<br /><br />-HSR47Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-27060299054367058442015-08-29T08:21:14.733-07:002015-08-29T08:21:14.733-07:00I thought Craig finally slept with Eva Green near ...I thought Craig finally slept with Eva Green near the end of Casino Royale. Nothing explicit - It seemed to me they were having some after-sex time at one point. <br /><br />And early on, he had the girl in the red dress ready and willing but left her to pursue his target (her husband). Alpha move IMO. <br /><br />It didn't look like a 0 to me, but definitely less sex than earlier Bond movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-53465898796284280302015-08-29T07:12:45.343-07:002015-08-29T07:12:45.343-07:00Remember that the arrival of Craig as Bond coincid...Remember that the arrival of Craig as Bond coincided with reboot of the series. The first movie (Casino Royale) actually shows Bond becoming a "00" agent with his first two kills. The second movie literally begins where the first left off. So the screenwriters can be forgiven for portraying him as just getting out of the blocks, so to speak.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-11428876345998843242015-08-28T22:06:10.341-07:002015-08-28T22:06:10.341-07:00James Bond in the old days was not only highly sex...James Bond in the old days was not only highly sexual, he was sexually aggressive in a way that today's Tumblr feminists would scream was bordering on rape. And the women of the day loved it. <br /><br />Hollywood's attempt to turn James Bond into the sensitive Alan Alda of the action genre will end with the franchise's destruction, as all of the real men and women lose interest in him.
