I think the worl would actually be a better place without cinema. People would still be reading books, so society would be more intelligent and conversation more sophisticated.

Without actors we would never have had the birth of celebrity culture which has led ultimately to such human endangering tragidies such as reality tv and X Factor.

Fuck Bond, fuck cinema.

Hail to books.

The films, of course were derived from the books, so really we should blame the books therefor your comments mean jackshit as your contradicting yourself ;)

I never said the books were bad only the movies. Actually though I would much rather read about Ian Flemings real life exploits during the war coordinating 30 Assualt Unit and organising daring thefts of intelligence from German bunkers and military HQ's. That is what his Bond novels were loosely based upon and those stories are far more interesting than any modern Bond movie.

Ya should try reading some Clive Cussler, his main character, Dirk Pitt, is based on his own exploits and of NUMA explorations

Never ever sat through a full Bond film. The idea of it bores the shit out of me.

Use to watch them all but cannot stand Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton versions. Sean was good but have to admit love the new bond films and the Aston Martin. He looks cool.

Dont know if the English got the series ?

But Maxwell Smart would find a way to fuck up any James Bond.

So predictable. I don't understand why people keep going back for more. Is it because it is every 3 years and people forget that they have seen it all before and was done far more charismatically by Connery half a century ago.

I don't mind the Connery Bond actually.

You do realise that Bond made all of those Cliches are ones made by the Franchise itself?

Like anything that's been running for DECADes it is going to become a parody of itself... the Craig Bonds atleast seem to have freshened things up, much harder like Connery was and more Bourne than having 'Gadgets' (I didn't spot any in he new films? He had a defibulator in his car... and a smart phone?) I also don't get why you checked off 'bond'... it's the bond franchise... it's not likely to have Ethan Hunt or Jason Bourne as the protagonist is it now?!

Other than Goldeneye the Brosnan ones were terrible... Roger Moore is good in an ironic Alan Partridge type of awful way and Connery was in some bloody good films. I thought the Dalton ones were decent... much more violent than most bonds... a definetly product of the 80s. I was underwhelmed by Quantam of Solice, wasn't much to love or hate... but Casino Royal was a great film.

Agreed Casino Royal was a great film and certainly made me back a fan.

The last Bond film I saw had Pierce Brosnan facing off against some short Korean general. Then following some plastic surgery the little short Korean man became a tall, white English toff. I wasn't sure if I was watching a Bond film or one of those Not Another parody films. Either way I decided never to watch another one.

Watch the new Bond, Daniel Graig, he is good, the films are excellent.

I once made the huge mistake of putting on a Sean Connery accent, and telling this girl to sit on my face.

Never again

Hello I'm Fan..... TitoFan.



























(Just doesn't quite cut it). :(

Seriously though, I like James Bond. It's a tradition. Not meant to be intellectual movie fare... not meant to be realistic. Matter of fact, one of the things about Bond films is seeing just how outrageous they get with their stunts. I hope they continue, although I'm not too fond of Craig's Bond.

I think he is the best and Sean second. Moore is the worst.

Believe it or not, I have never seen a James Bond movie. As far as I know, I have never even seen a part of one.

My father and I went to a movie- Chariots of the Gods, I bet- and there was a poster for a Bond movie, a guy in a suit with a gun, beautiful woman, sports car, etc... I thought it presented a good case for our next movie. My father said "that garbage will rot your mind." To this day I avoid 'action' movies.

Expendables is a movie that will rot your brain. Just crap.
