Maybe, but I have yet to see a Bond film -- yes, even the Connery ones -- that has truly blown my socks off. And most, unfortunately, have just put me to sleep.
Hey, I like A View to a Kill. It has Christopher Walken!
James Bond Sucks!James Bond Sucks and that’s official. I have never been able to understand what anybody sees in these movies, ok maybe you could watch one, or even two but then when it becomes so blatantly obvious that each movie is just the same story substituted with different characters and locations then each one just becomes so bloody boring.Its pretty much a quick exciting opening followed by some evil individual with plans for world domination who steals a nuclear bomb and holds the world to ransom. James Bond simply has to sleep with a couple of attractive women before finding his leading lady for this particular epic, fight off the chief bad guy’s henchman and then dispose of the bad guy himself. Throw in a big theme tune and some generally piss poor effects and bad gags and you have the latest flick.So for each and every Bond movie, you take the above formula and there you go. Instant two hours drivel and more often than not instant box office success. How does this happen? Why does this happen? I’m willing to admit as a youngster, I liked a couple of movies – but only briefly… And now as a mature adult that I can see that each film is just a retread of the last, I cannot see the attraction. I’ve sat through them all over the years on various occasions and numerous individuals – my parents, family, friends have all tried to convince me of their quality but I’m sorry they just ain’t that good. I will always have a soft spot for Live & Let Die, maybe even the Spy Who Loved Me but some of them are just plain awful. Die Another Day wasn’t just a bloody terrible Bond film; it was a bloody terrible film.Why are these films watched? Why is who’s the best Bond discussed? Why is it such big news who the next bloody James Bond is? Why are these films on every bank holiday and Christmas break… Bank holiday wouldn’t be the same without Bond – No, you’re right it might be good if there was a decent film on!
My taste is imaculate, my eye is umpregnable, and my movie choices are just ruthless. I want to eat your Kishka praise be to Yahweh!

Christ Cheebs, its obvious to me now you have no taste. Of all Bond movies to champion, you support the worst 2 in the whole series?
