No Time To Die

Postby Derek » Wed Sep 29, 2021 4:37 pm

In lieu of the upcoming 25th Bond movie, I thought I would make a post stating that I'm a huge fan of James Bond movies. I'm sad to see Daniel Craig go, but I think I'm OK with them never making another one, rather than turning the character into a woman. It's dumb, it's silly, and it's just overall a stupid idea. I'm fine with it ending gracefully rather than seeing it destroyed due to lack of interest because they tried to go 'woke' with it. It was bad enough that the first movie with Judi Dench was as woke as you could get for 1995. It was no accident that those movies were the worst of the franchise IMO.

What's your favorite actor to plan Bond? Mine is Roger Moore.

I liked Connery the best as an actor. As Bond, though, Roger Moore was my personal favorite.

I agree ...

Though, I think Moore was a better actor than the scripts he was given.

If he'd have gotten the same quality of writing and directing as Connery, many others would likely feel the same way.

He had the misfortune of taking over the Bond personage, just as the direction decided to shift from what made the character so endearing, into a mainstream market, where American audiences were being given one zany car chase feature after another --- rather than letting the Bond franchise stand on its own merits.
