Llewellyn last appearance in "The World Is not Enough " was so perfect, I still find it hard to believe that It was not intended as his finally appearance as Q . Q giving Bond , his last bit of fatherly advice and then leaving, saying "Always have a escape route " left no doubt when I saw the film , that this was the last time we would see Llewellyn as Q. It was the perfect wrap up of the Character .

@@placeholder1546 I agree about the difference between a mechanical engineer and computer nerd. On the other hand, given that Q stands for Quartermaster, should the Quartermaster actually be a computer nerd at all? One wonders why there wouldn't be a separate division for cyber-related things, and a completely distinct division for, well, the gadgets that the field agents require, which would seem to be less of a task for a computer nerd, and more of a job for more of a mechanical/electrical engineer. Personally, one thing I miss in the Craig films is the gadgets. Oh, they don't have to be completely over the top. But the films seem a bit bland for Bond films without the gadgets which have been a trademark of these films since Dr. No.

The missing template/formula in Dr. No is one reason why I like Dr. No so much, because none of the characters is written to say typical lines or be in a certain usual way, so there is more room for realistic characterisations of the main characters in that scene in M's office. I don't know any other Bond movie where we get to see so much of who Bond is as a private person and as a professional in just a few scenes from the casino to his apartment. When we meet Major Boothroyd, he comments on 007's choice of gun and issues the Walther to him. There is nothing else to do for him in that setting. I guess Boothroyds function storytelling-wise is to further our knowledge of Bond and M. Bond is pigheaded. He wants to keep his favorite gun, although the jammed Beretta caused six months in hospital. M has to threaten him with office work to change guns. Bond shows consent, then steals the Beretta from M's desk. But M knows Bond and can't be fooled. All of that happens subtly, almost routinely. But I also know that series usually grow to become formulaic, which isn't necessarily bad, when the writers keep the series fresh by adding something new. The sitcom Cheers comes to my mind, unfortunately as the only series I know so far, whose characters have become stereotypical and the stories formulaic, but which imho is constantly enjoyable.
@CaminoAir8 жыл бұрын
Thanks Calvin. Love your review series. Great mixture of fan enthusiasm, humour and smart analysis and insight into film making. I thought Cleese's casting was a mistake, because he's too well known a celebrity (you can't have two iconic personalities / actors in a Bond film - it undermines the Bond universe's core suspension of belief) and the script writers couldn't shape his Q into a credible character. They just relied on Cleese and the audiences' goodwill to Cleese. After the irreplaceable Llewelyn, I think the best approach would be a more low key, believable Q (at least for the first few appearances of the replacement actor) who is not consciously trying to be a bigger screen personality. Llewelyn always grounded the characterisation even when the scripts were making his part more gimmicky.

I really do hope they can convince him to come back for at least one more movie, just to give Waltz the opportunity to give us the perfect Blofeld that we have yet to have. Others are hoping they can convince him to come back for two more movies and do another Blofeld trilogy (which would be ideal, but I'm not holding my breath. I think we'll be lucky to get one more).

He's geeky, appears meticulous/detail specific, seems like he has a vast array of knowledge (he's a Cambridge graduate), and can play tetchy wonderfully well. Although it might seem like he'd be better at playing Q in a spoof (Johnny English?), or it'd recall his character in Peep Shop too much, I think he could nuance it to be realistic, while still being funny. Funnily enough Robert Webb would actually make a good Bill Tanner, as he can play straight-ish, and has the right persona. And to cap it off, if we're casting from Peep Show, Olivia Coleman as M! She's a bit younger than previous ones, but would convince as being qualified and wise, while also perhaps having a bit of well placed wit.

Well Olivia is an 'M' type role in the excellent 'The Night Manger'...

I watched purely to see if you would’ve been crazy enough to put anyone else at number 1. I’m glad to see you still have a firm grip on reality.

I'd love for the next Q to be on the younger actor, but a slightly more irritable one, one who won't take any of Bond's crap and will happily tell him how much money all the cars, computers and guns cost. I'd love to see one struggling with management, basically.

Before Jim Steranko took over the series, the early "Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD" stories from Marvel Comics had an armorer named Boothroyd* (modern sources give him the full name of Desmond Boothroyd in the actor's honor) pop once or twice to supply Fury with exploding cigars, EMP cufflinks, etc. He was later replaced by the character Sidney Levine; coincidentally, Sid's first project was a sportscar that could turn invisible, which was also the first big Q Branch device post-Llewelyn. In another coincidence, the real life Boothroyd (first name Geoffrey, btw) during his correspondence with Fleming was employed by a company named Imperial Chemical Industries, a name very similar to a fictional corporation, Imperial Industries International, which unknowingly was the chief financier of the comic version of HYDRA at the time that Fury's Boothroyd made appearances. *Stan Lee was never one to eschew stealing names from other sources, as Captain Marvel can attest.

I know this video is a few years old, but I'll add this. I've been a Bond fan since Octopussy was the then "new" film. I loved Desmond. He was awesome. About 10 years or so before World is Not Enough, I thought "If Desmond ever retires, John Cleese would make an excellent replacement". Then they went and did it! I ***LOVED*** Cleese as Q. I thought it was awesome. Then they rebooted the series and deleted him, which I didn't care for. I mean Casino Royale is spectacular, and I love Ben Whishaw, too. I wished we got more John Cleese, though.

I didn't know Llewellyn died in an accident after The World Is Not Enough :/ i though he had indeed retired by then since he fittingly mentioned just that in the movie.

Desmond is the best Q by far but if Ben is given time he could catch up

I personally think John Cleese was a perfect successor to Desmond Llewellyn as Q. In his first appearance, he's clumsy, but in his second appearance, he's competent and can play off of 007 perfectly! Honestly, I think he's the second best of the Q actors.

Alec Macowen got a real laugh. John Cleese was a good idea that didn’t work at all.Ben Whishaw is just ok. I rate Alec above both.

6. Alex Mcowan, the guy that played Q in that terrible movie that I don't even wanna talk about :) 5.Geofery bayoldan. Hes meh 4. Ben wisha. Hes a great part of the craig era .... BUT.....Hes not Q... Hes just a nerd on a computer... Like in all honesty if your going to exclude gadget items and cool weaponized cars from the franchise that excelled off it... Then you might as well exclude the quartermaster all together..... Give him a different name or something because hes not a Q 3. Peter Burton. 1 shot and nailed it. 2. John cleese. Pleassssse anyone who puts ben wishaw above this legendary python actor is no Q fan!! I'm looking at you dyson.... He's the closest thing we'll ever get to a Desmond. 1. Desmond Llewelyn Making his first debut in FRWL and finally in TWINE he had a great send off, I don't think you can ever truly replacs Desmond
