WWAWD James Bond movies?

Speaking of movies that don't hold up: Goldeneye is barely mediocre. I don't like any of the Brosnan movies. Every single one is really dated, and they had some of the worst opening themes. Daniel Craig started off strong with Casino Royale and the rest were forgettable at best. Fuck Skyfall especially, which is nothing more than a rehash of The Dark Knight. Even shitty Spectre was more enjoyable.

Roger Moore has a lot of duds, but at least most of the bad ones are fun, with the exception of A View To A Kill. He looks absurd in that one. Does anyone remember For Your Eyes Only? I've seen it multiple times and I still struggle with basic plot details. Spy Who Loved Me is good, and I actually enjoy Moonraker. The rest range from bad to okay.

Sean Connery obviously has the best track record, even if You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever are a little weaker. You can't beat those first four, though. Is Never Say Never Again actually worth watching? I know it's just another version of Thunderball with another studio in charge.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service rules. Lazenby was a great Bond and never should have listened to his manager telling him to be one and done. It's easily one of the best Bond movies. Timothy Dalton went one for two. Living Daylights is also one of the best, and Licence to Kill is very mediocre.



Taking your calls now, where you at wit da Bond?

I'm nostalgic for the Brosnan era because he "felt" like Bond. All the Bonds had that classic, suave classily handsome look to them. Even Archer the cartoon character has the same characteristics - jet black hair, steely eyes, crisp suits.

Daniel Craig is a good actor, but he looks like an English teacher. Yeah you can send him to the gym so he gets washboard abs, but his face is just not James Bond. The whole Daniel Craig era just felt like trying too hard to reinvent the wheel. Casino Royale wanted to be Jason Bourne, Quantum of Shit nobody cares about, and then it just became "what trendy actor can we cast as the villain?"

Remember how cool Javier Bardem was in No Country for Old Men? Remember when Christoph Waltz was a good villain in Inglorious Basterds?

Didn't even see the last movie and don't plan to. Lemme guess, Rami Malek plays a twitchy weirdo loner who makes CRAAAAAZY eyes at Bond?

It really is. And Famke Janssen is so over the top that it passes camp and goes directly to embarrassing.

Quantum of Solace is so fucking bad. Its one saving grace is being the shortest Bond movie, and even then it's not good. And guess what? You're completely right about Rami Malek in that last one.

I would have agreed if they'd have made the switch back in 2012 after Skyfall. 50 just seems a bit old to be starting out. They could probably still make it work, but Craig left me exhausted of the whole old, grizzled Bond angle.

There's a british actor named Ben Barnes who IMO would be perfect. He was the best part of Westworld and they basically cut him out of the second season for dumb reasons.

He really has that classic Bond look down perfectly and has that sophisticated British charm

But we absolutely need a Bond of color next so homeboy is reduced to doing T-Mobile commercials.

James Bond movies are for dentists/accountants who drive Jaguars, have had sex with 5 women and play golf once a week. Escapist fantasies for guys stuck in a rut. Bond never has to mow the lawn or do his taxes.

What about guys with 5 bathroom sinks, funster?

The only worse thing they could do is ask Paramore to make a Bond song, lol.
