If they decide to continue, please do not mess around with the character of James Bond and what Ian Fleming intended him to be. If they want to do that, create another character.... even a spin off MI6 agent to create a character who they want... but leave the character of James Bond the 007 moniker well alone! Thats my two penneth any way....we shall see I guess. |

Have you watched the new Marvel "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" yet? They drive an all electric BMW iX3. |

He's the only one to have immediately treated women as capable as he is; he's the only one to have really loved; the only one to have cried; happy enough to have a woman boss (although Brosnan did too). Charlie Higson, the author of the Young Bond novels, says Daniel Craig – who plays cinema’s most famous spy for the fifth and final time in upcoming film No Time to Die – has “given us woke 007, who’s tender, cries and gets into the shower in his tuxedo to comfort a woman”. You seem a bit mixed up. :lol: |

I presume you're happy enough for Bond films to be set in the current times, see him playing with modern gadgets and so on. Do you think a modern-day James Bond would or should still have 1953 attitudes? I don't think Fleming would have considered a woman - Judi Dench - for playing "M". Are you against that?
Part of the appeal that draws audiences to the James Bond movies is the character he is.... a man with a traumatic past, orphaned at a young age, sent to boarding school, who as a result develops into a dark ruthless assassin (for the good of course) with a devil may care attitude who hasn't got a lot of feelings for anything or anyone. In my opinion if they deviate form this too much its not James Bond anymore, and this is not what people want to see. |

Interesting that you (like me) consider Craig to be the best 'Bond' so far.
He's the only one to have immediately treated women as capable as he is; he's the only one to have really loved; the only one to have cried; happy enough to have a woman boss (although Brosnan did too). So allowing for this inappropriate, hijacking of the term woke, you consider it BS but you believe the most 'woke' has been the best one. You seem a bit mixed up. :lol: The best Bond movie was Skyfall hands down. As I said I was dissapointed with No time to die.... I felt very flat after watching it. |

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
Somehow none of the Bond movies do that much for me these days. So many copycat franchises: Bourne, Mission Impossible, etc.. Skyfall was good, but ultimately it's the same plot and same gags repeated over and over.

In the life of James Bond (the movies) that past has only been revealed recently so it can't have been the appeal previously. Craig's character has apparently been the most successful in terms of Bond Movies so that suggests they must be doing something right.

Re: 2020 - movies seen this year
In contrast with the opinion upthread, I thought Marriage Story to be a compelling and accurate portrayal of the workings of family lawyers. Casting Scarlett Johansson as someone plump and dowdy is improbable but the terrible hair and Mom jeans helped.
