If only the Bond movies were any good…
Try going back and watching some of these. Just awful.
Well, there’s Casino Royale for example. That’s a really good movie. Just what the Bond franchise needed after the disappointing Die Another Day.
And even the lesser Bond movies are at least enjoyable.
Agree — they don’t wear well: especialy the newer ones. Time to make it an archive franchise…
I would say Casino Royale was just about as boring as the rest o’ the lot… and the movie that followed was just incoherent.
Love Daniel Craig but the franchise deserves a real sock in the face, not the nuts.
If you don’t like any James Bond movies, you just don’t like movies, period.
….you must be very young..Bond is for the boomers and their fathers.There were a few clunkers quality wise (Moonraker, View to a kill) but they all made money.because the public today has the attention-span of a 1 yr old they have adopted the formula of the quick-edit Bourne movies to increase box office and get the kids into it. Today’s kids could’t comprehend the Sean Connery bond movies.the best of them to this day still remain Goldfinger, Thunderball, Diamonds are forever, live and let die, casino royale.
The first five Bond movies are still great. The rest? Your mileage may vary.
A legendary franchise that is truly a prism for the ever-changing zeitgeist. All the films still have that certain quality of longevity that most movies lack.
There´s a reason why there is no other movie franchise that has stayed alive and productive for 50 years. EON productions know what they are doing and don´t let others dictate what they want.
