I guess you never read the 1953 novel, huh? It wasn't terrorist funds in the book, however -- it was money for the KGB payroll in France. LeChiffre is the paymaster for Soviet espionage operations, not a banker for terrorists. It is Vesper who "delivers" the money over to the baddies (because she's being blackmailed) -- not Bond. And in both novel & film, she commits suicide. (Poison in the book.) The line, "The bitch is dead now" comes straight from Ian Fleming's typewriter. I'm talking about the movie not the novel which saw Bond have his security verification authorisation seduced out of him by Vesper thus the banker calling him asking what the fuck was going on as the payment was due. Aren't you forgetting something about the movie? Vesper was a fellow agent -- an official of Her Majesty's Treasury. Recall that she was tasked by the British gov't to provide Bond with the money to enter the poker tournament to begin with ( "I'm the money") and to watch over what he did with it. So why wouldn't Bond trust her with the money? THAT WAS HER JOB. (Bond -- and MI6 -- didn't realize she was "bent" until she stole it.)

You're trying your best here you really are but Bond shouldn't have slept and got himself romantically compromised with someone who again he hardly knew regardless of her job. Both Bond and MI6 were stupid for not doing the proper background checks into her personal life as well as her professional life prior to deciding to go with her. Treasury or not. |

Moore was great in 'The spy and eye's only'. They all have bonds, oops bombs. Roger was good, but never close to top 3.

She's not a fellow agent she's a financier for the Treasury, she's not an agent and Bond and MI6 should've done prior background checks on both her personal life and professional life too before collaborating with her. If it helps both Bond, MI6 and Treasury are stupid for trusting her. I never blamed Bond only but he should have been more aware of Vesper and less wanting to fuck her after a few days especially when billions are at risk. |

Both leaned heavily on the side of camp, though I feel that Moore's Bond movies at least took themselves half-seriously whereas the 60s Batman was camp par excellence.
