007 No Time To Die Review's --Possible Spoilers

Old Timothy Dalton in Licence to Kill had more killer in him than Connery, Moore and Brosnan combined (still rate them all in their own ways and films), imo he was the role model for Craig's bond that followed.

 

I agree with you, as far as how Ian Flemming wrote the original character. Flemming said that Bond was supposed to be somewhat of a "campy" character. He never meant Bond to be a hardcore action hero. That's what bugs me when people criticize Connery as Bond. He played the character perfectly. As far as an "action hero Bond," I think Craig is the best. It's too bad that a character like Connery's Bond wouldn't make it in today's movies. I dare say he's probably too sophisticated for today's movie goers.

 

they did that with the dune movie too. the previews make it out as theyre main characters then they are actually in it for 6 minutes.

 

I agree, it may do ok for the first sequel due to nostalgia/curiosity.
But if they wanted a movie with a female secret agent/spy, they should just have made one from scratch.

Creativity seems pretty low for moviers int he recent years, they just keep recreating existing movies or adding chapters to super hero movies.

 

Only actors that could make a campy Bond now that I can think of would be The Rock or Ryan Reynolds. I think either would be excellent for that original Bond. Rock could definitely do either. But they’re not British. So probably rules them out.

 

I liked it.

 

I thought it was meh, like all the other James Bond movies after Connery.

 

I'll have to have a go again at Fleming.

In my youf, long time ago, I started reading You Only Live Twice (I think) and was so disappointed that is had nothing to do with the film that I didn't finish it.

Kids.....

 

Yes! Speaking of those two, check out Red Notice. It’s a campy thriller. Definitely entertaining!

 

I actually thought Red Notice was pretty bad. The new James Bond flick wasn’t awesome but for me it was much better than Red Notice.

King Richard about the Williams sisters was much better than both of them.

 

Morgan Freeman would make a great Q, based on his role in the Dark Knight trilogy that served a similar function to Bruce Wayne.

 

My wife hated Red Notice and she pretty much likes anything. She married me.

 

Yup. Went in with very low expectations and was right on target.

Pretty typical Netflix action fare with all 3 lead actors leaning into their "copy-paste" personalities that made them popular with the widest possible audience.

 

In spite of the noticeable lack of Oscar worthy performances and complete dearth of biting social commentary, I was able to enjoy the movie for the mindless bit of fluff it was intended to be. Sometimes, car chases and explosions are all a man needs.

 

Just saw it.

It wasn't bad, we've seen way worse.

The title song was probably the second to worse and I don't remember the worse..... Woah that was a stencher.

 

I liked the flick. The franchise has evolved with the times.
As far as killing James off and then saying he'll be back in the credits, look at Jon Snow.
