I agree it just don't feel like james bond anymore

I heard on radio broadcast that they alluded to in the Skyfall movie that Bond was ...... ummm ..... errr ................. shaking and stirring ...... with the same half of the species ... ... is that true??? they even emasculating James Bond now??

And for the people who enjoyed the villain in SkyFall, I have a surprise for you -- the Silva character is a giant ripoff. A pastiche of past Bond villains that worked.

Spoiler

He looks exactly like Max Zorin.

He's a computer genius like Max Zorin.

He's a scarred, ex-00 agent like Alec Trevelyan.

He's gay like Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd.

There's literally NOTHING original about that villain.

Kudos to Bardem for acting the fukk out of what he had though.

Breh.......this set of Bond films is good just because it's closer to what the original stories (novels) inteded. Bond is portrayed almost as a necessary evil more than anything. The gadgets and exotic locales were ccol and all, but after awhile, instead of them being part of the story, the stories were basically having them forced in. These movies are/were necessary to keep the series viable for the future.

Seriously when i think Bond i think Connery and Brosnan.

We are on total opposite sides of the spectrum. Those are my two least favorite and Roger Moore / Daniel Craig are becoming my favorites. Moore and Craig both seem to exude the bond swagger naturally. With Connery, I just always got the sense that it wasn't that so much as him just showing up to the movie set in the mornings still shyt faced and had a devil may care attitude derived from heavy boozing. . Brosnan

I'm probably in the minority on this, but it can't be ignored -- all 3 of the Daniel Craig Bond movies have sucked. SkyFall was shyt for the same reason Casino Royale was shyt -- they took what should have been the second half of the movie and made it the first half of the movie. Quantum of Solace was objectively crap; probably one of the worst Bond movies ever made in terms of plot.

No, it's not Craig's fault. It's the writers. How has the writing team that made The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day fallen off so hard? They're so focused on "rebooting" the franchise that they're changing all of the wrong things. Ignoring the Bond girls, the suaveness, the villains, the evil plots...like seriously and just making it about action, sprinkled with angst.

And of course, it fukking kills at the box office. I'm done until with the Bond franchise until they get new writers for this bullshyt. I thought this one would be different -- the "best" Bond villain of all time, they said. Pfft. No. They underused and underdeveloped him just like they underused and underdeveloped Le Chiffre. fukk out of here with this weak-ass franchise. I should've seen Wreck-It Ralph.

Its pathetic this villain had no purpose other then some corny ass revenge. Wasting all that money and time so he could kill a bytch that didnt bail him out. His goons were just following him to their doom because he got emotional. To think he might have been able to carry out his plan if he wasnt so hard on his bytch.

Spoiler

At least that bytch died though.

That's why Sean Connery wass cool. Dude gave zero fukks, he just did what he had to do and he just raped smashed girls along the way. He's was liked the guy who showed up to work drunk and high, pissed off all his coworkers and still had the highest marks.

 

[714562]

they combination of all those things into one character is what makes it original..

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

old james bond is too campy now. at meeting some brightly clothed chick named p*ssy galore. bytch aren't you supposed to be a spy?

 

[re'up]

Don't think anyone could be more wrong, as far as Bond movies, and this opinion. Craig's films, are some of the ONLY ones, to be able to exist as actual GOOD movies, outside the series. The Connery ones...hold up, as well as the Moore ones, for what they are, but there is hardly any legitimate tension, romance, left, they are aged, and dated, and still beloved films, but no Bond had the kind of romance or chemistry, that Bond and Vesper had in 'Casino Royale', and the conclusion as 'Skyfall', is, in my opinion, a stronger 25 min or so then the vast majority of the entire series. 'Quantum' is dope, it's a direct sequel, and it's far from perfect, but has many great moments. I'd take 'Quantum' over any of the Brosnan, besides maybe 'Goldeneye'. The Craig Bonds are good movies first, and good Bond movies second, they will hold up in years to come, as such, while the Bond films of yesteryear, are reduced to mostly campy, fun, viewing on cable tv.
