Current Events > I think it's too long between Bond films these days.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I think 2 years between films is just right. It's usually a bit longer, though, and between QoS and Skyfall, I think it was 4 years. Does anyone else get annoyed at this? Of course, you can't say they're whoring the franchise, with a new installment every year or anything.

They'd cease being a special event if they were every two years.

i miss slick dialogue-driven spy movies instead of the big budget boom boom stuff which is probably why they take so long to make.

not looking for slow-as-molasses confusing movies like tinker tailor soldier spy either.

If they use the extra time to make sure the film is great then I don't mind too big of a gap. The problem now isn't the time gap, but the producers making bad decisions and hiring crap writers. I'd say give Bond a rest for a bit so they can rethink the whole thing cause this reboot series ain't cutting it even if a couple of the movies are good.

Also, the direction has gone horribly wrong. Up until the end of the Brosnan era, the Bond films were funny and a little OTT, but since CR, things have been So serious and down to earth. If I wanted something really serious, that's what I'd watch. The Bond films were never this heavy (or long, like Spectre). Even the most serious Dalton films had their fun bits.

I mean, they used to be even more frequent than that. The first 8 Bond films came out between 1962 and 1971

I still think that the Moore and Brosnan eras were the best.

Didn't Brosnan only have like 2 good movies?

Although even the worst ones he was in, he definitely was the best actor out of the rest of the cast.

I thought they were generally excellent, with the exception of TWINE.

TWINE was really weird. The whole thing was kinda disjointed, set in a part of the world nobody knows anything about, the action scenes were too much, the girls was boring, the villain wasn't used enough, and Bond was strangely aggressive and miserable. I don't know what happened.

I think TND is probably my favourite Bond film of all time.

They need to bring the camp back to Bond. Even if Spectre had a lot of silliness in it Craig is such a joyless Bond. I cant stand him outside of Casino Royale. >_>
---

I haven't even bothered watching the rest of the Craig films because Casino Royale was so bad. They turned Bond into Bourne.

die another day was pretty stupid.

they already had a pretty menacing asian villain and had to ham it up by white-washing another asian into a white main villain instead.

wonder how that would work in today's sjw climate xd

Going back, I sort of enjoy how DAD just embraces the insanity. I dont know if I would call it good but its stupidly fun to watch for me.

And a North Korean spy using surgery to turn into the son of Professor McGonagal just sort of cements that delicious weirdness.

That's what you get when you cast someone who hates Bond

I wouldn't be too bothered if we never got another one.

Because we have 24 to go back and watch...right?
