Casino Royale was good. Eva Green is really good looking and did a great job. Same for Daniel Craig.

Skyfall was fine until it didn't end and kept going for another 45 minutes or whatever.

A lot of the old ones are pretty dated but there's still some decent films in there. I like Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.

Gonna watch that new November Man movie and just pretend it's 007 undercover and M just gave him a stern talking to about using his real name on the job.

CR is definitely one of the better bonds, but holy god QoS sucked and Skyfall sucked just as much; maybe sucked a bit more because everyone hyped it up as being a Really Good Movie whereas everyone knew QoS sucked.

Like the cinematography in Skyfall is cool and Javier Bardem owned but seemed like Craig was just phoning it in and everyone else (MI6, etc) was so god drat dumb in the movie, thematic mess of new vs olde (har har us retards, purvis & wade, are so good writers that you plebs don't get it), plus it went on for too long.


though I may be a crazy person cause License to Kill is a top 3 for me and that's usually in everyone else's bottom 5.

Yeah she's DAF but that's what Bond girls are supposed to be. They really haven't had a proper Bond girl since her though. Are we supposed to give a poo poo about the dead hooker in Skyfall or the melty skin lady in QoS? They each like like 3 lines and no reason at all to even be remotely interested in them. They come and go NBD. Even Christmas loving Jones got more character development and screen time than the girls in QoS and Skyfall.

EDIT: No Bond Girl was worse than Halle Berry. Holy crap she was awful.

Denise Richards was unwatchable as well. You can see her career ending during the film.

Sophia Marceau loving ruled in that movie though.

James Bond also blatantly raped a girl in Skyfall which was a little weird to watch.

like part of the fantasy is being able to seduce any girl in the world, not just appear in the shower with them like a creepy goon.

oh yeah I totally forgot about that part. that was pretty dumb, same thing with the tossaway gay lines (hey look we're progressive writers: bond may be bi now, no wait he's just really smart and tricking the villain to go along with him teehee!).

also now that the other guy mentioned it, most bond chicks have the personality and usefulness of a disposable fleshlight in the past several films.

i liked that video game where you could play as odd job but if you did all your friends got really angry at you because they had to look down to aim at you and the next time no one was allowed to pick oddjob, but eventually someone did anyway and there were laughs all around though some were more genuine than others... like you could feel that they were annoyed by the fact you were not playing the game "properly" even though it was just a dumb shooting game and they'd probably had way more loving practice at it anyway since we were playing it at their place so what the gently caress, just let me have this one handicap instead of stomping me over and over that's just fun for you


anyway casino royal was super boring because it had none of that

They're also playing the truck stop slot machine of poker games but most Americans probably can't name a different one.

Yeah, come on, of course James Bond is gonna win with a hand full of spades. That's just how he rolls. If this were a 90's Bond film he'd of been wearing a watch that mechanically prints aces and shoots them out of his sleeve.
