Wanted to play the hero

Unfortunately. Lee's tall, grim feature just make him look a better villain instead. Dracula, Scaramanga, Saruman, etc.
Possibly, but I just couldn't image a better Saruman. Pretty much perfect casting.

Someone hasn't seen the film

I'm pretty sure Gandalf was more aloof in the books than he was in the movies, so I'd say he would have been way more fitting for the role than faggledore.
Though I'm not a Tolkien scholar so I might have it entirely wrong.

I thought his character was just Bond looking out for himself rather than being an MI6 lapdog. Neither heroic or truly villainous, just a professional assassin doing his job and goofing around in his fun house on days off.

Meanwhile Roger Moore aka The mid-life crisis Bond

And how could i forget Bond's most egregious action, the cunt fucking threatened a midget out of thin air, and Nick Nack out of them all to boot
A most shameful display of British "class"

...

McKellen never played Dumbledore, that was Richard Harris and then Michael Gambon

Patrick McGoohan would have been ther perfect Gandalf. They really dropped the ball when they didn't cast him.

i crye erry tiem ;_;

I'd have her cast fireballs up ur butt lol.

...

Well it would have made for an interesting fight
Post YFW he unleashed all the Saxon Men

Surprised he isn't in the JUST-ice League.

Ooh, sexy

Someone hasn't read the book

He's more how I pictured Gandalf when I read the Hobbit. I always pictured him as having a very trim, pointed beard and really having his shit together.

Is harvey dent the best character ever designed?
bravo nolan

...

Deepest lore

seriously though fuck Roger Moore bond he's just a piece of shit through and through.
Timothy Dalton was the best bond.

...

I know, I just wanted to say faggledore.

Book and film are different universes
This is most notable with Red Grant, and overall with the retarded timeline the movies use
The books are OK but they can easily reach Naruto-tier shenanigans sometimes
In the book Scaramanga is just some circus latin lover who killed everyone in a fit of rage after he saw his animals get butchered, he then tried to be a decent guy, even grabbibg his ex-circus partner (Nick Nack)
Even in the book he isn't that much of a villain, only a very bizarre fella doing contracts and going medieval on some others from time to time. In the movie he's a Bond in neutral political ground

Now this guy knows what's up
Shame he was never given a third project, or a great career
Man is seriously the best actor to play the Bond Connery included

Halloween didn't have Britt Ekland dancing nude against a wall.

The books are yards better than any of the films and yes I've read them all
1) Nick Nack is not in the book
2) Scaramanga's a marksman for the KGB. That's why Bond is sent after him, Scaramanga eliminated at least a few other SIS men. He is not a good man in the least

One of the greatest horror films of all time or a decent slasher. Glad he made that decision.

...

The Caribbean ones aren't (Live and Let Die)

wat, well it seems you got me, i don't know why i remember him as the little feller he got after he told the circus trickshot background
That i remember well, he's not a good guy in the general meaning of the word but the background sequence gives him a soft edge to sympathize (basically took slavers)

You grabbed me by the balls m8, i will have to re-read them instead of talking, still the Moore's Bond (1972 to 1981 in canon) and specifically his version in 1973 was a villain compared to Lee's SM. Like i said, movies were very badly produced, considering the timeline (OHMSS being a prime example) and the examples (Red Grant not killing in full moon and being a quite composed guy, GoldF being a decent guy)

They're all better than the movies. Especially fucking Live and Let Die

Yea amen brother
Dalton essentially created the "edgy daniel craig" bond style, and he did it 100 times better than Daniel Craig. He didn't come off as edgy he just came off as a tired jaded operator and it was badass. License to Kill is bond kino.

Probably the only 2 sequences that i consider Bond acting like a spy instead of some mary sue agent are the Lazenby's paper retriaval in OHMSS and Dalton's defection escort in the beginning of TLD
TLD had too many shit jacked in it, and some questionable decisions too (Pushkin instead of Golgov), if it was made like a thriller instead of a bunch of action sequences it would've worked way better
Dalton certainly gives Bond a heap load of depth in comparison to the others, and only with his line delivery, not counting his emotion range or even his hands+shoulder movements
But hey at least he got the Salt Water Moose and The Balkan Nanny roles

Lee's Gandalf would have been less cute and goofy. He would have played the wizard with more of a quiet authority; not without warmth, but more aloof than McKellan's take on the character.

He made the right decision. Halloween is honestly kind of Trash. The soundtrack and a few shots of Michael looking spooky are all it really has going for it.

Moore, on the other hand had only his eyebrow movements. Should have stuck to the Saint.

Timothy Dalton is one of the greatest actors of all time. He is criminally underrated and underused.

Damn straight.

maybe he should try not sounding so evil all the time

I think I need a quick rundown

I don't know if one of the greatest, as Postlethwaite, Shaw and maybe even Paul Scofield gave him a run for his money, and only in the UK, as all of them manage the accents better than him, otherwise he's generally equal
But i absolutely agree with him being criminally underrated and underused. He had a shitton of bad luck in his career, even his amorous life, but that's another ticket
He certainly isn't gay tho no matter what Redgrave fans say, just a highly tormented man, i checked
