In response to "And Drax is his henchmen. -- nm" by Spawn

I don't like the direction they're taking Bond. It's becoming a parody of itself. -- nm

it used to be far far more of a parody. -- nm - Andie Dec 4, 08:44
I've liked 2 of the 3 Daniel Craig films very much. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:43
In many ways, it has been for decades, though. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:41
Well, an even more ridiculous parody, that is. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:40 35
- Let me know when they get back to invisible cars and parasailing off glaciers. - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:42 17
  - Casino Royale was fantastic. I didn't like the last one at all. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:44 16
    - Skyfall has it issues, but played to a wider audience with common themes. Quantum of Solace otoh, ugh. -- nm - budice Dec 4, 08:46 15
      - I honestly don't find much issue with anything in Skyfall. QoS is just...tedious and unmemorable. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:55 4
        
        I'm struggling to remember a single thing that happened in it. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 09:22 3
        
        Homage to Goldfinger....I think? - Will Hunting Dec 4, 09:29
        
        I think there was a building out in the middle of a desert - zork Dec 4, 09:28 1
        
        I remember the opening, but that is all. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 09:30
      - yep - this here right here. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:48
      - Do you know who I'd like to see as Bond? Cumberbatch. It would be like Lazenby, except good. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:48 7
        
        I would watch the hell out of that. - Spawn Dec 4, 08:49 6
        
        I don't think he's ever had a hand to hand combat type role? I could be wrong. Be interesting to see how he'd do. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:50 5
        
        i'm not sure how much mano-a-mano he did in Trek Into Darkness. There were so many flowing robes in the one scene it could have been a stunt double -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:52 2
        
        I think when he and the other guy fought their way to the bridge of the ship, he handled himself well there. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 09:41 1
        
        yeah - that was good too. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 09:54
        
        Star Trek. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:51 1
        
        Oh yeah! He was brilliant in that. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:52
      - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:46
- At least it is not at Roger Moore levels. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:41 16
  - True. -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 08:43
  - bite your tongue. Moore was awesome. Brosnan is where it went to Hell -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:42 14
    - Goldeneye was a great Bond flick -- nm - eag Dec 4, 09:14
    - Daniel Craig is when it went to Hell. -- nm - David Dec 4, 08:59
    - *sigh* -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:43 10
      - MOONRAKER! -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:44 9
        
        Moonraker was one of the worst Bond films ever. The Spy Who Loved Me, on the other hand, was one of the best. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 08:49 6
        
        don;t make me come over there -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:52
        
        Exactly. Moore had his moments. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:50 4
        
        Live and Let Die is a top 3-4 Bond movie imo - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:53 3
        
        That was his first IIRC? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:56 2
        
        Yep. And still has the hottest Bond girl. Jane Seymour was *gorgeous* -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 4, 08:56 1
        
        For me it was Barbara Bach. -- nm - pmb Dec 4, 09:00
        
        He made a far better Saint than Bond. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 08:45 1
        
        FOR YOUR EYES ONLY -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 08:46
    - ... -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 08:43
