Bond. James Bond.

What do you think? Think he's oversexed, overpaid and overrated? I do. Think he has a certain attractive aura of mystery? I do. Think he needs to be knocked down a few notches on the Arrogance Scale? I do. Think kids should be allowed to watch the films? I don't.

Opinions?

agreed

i like the toys and stuff like that but lots of the movie i could do without seeing.

i think it gives kids and teens for that matter a wrong view of sex as does most movies that come out nowdays. it's protrayed as something that you do whenever you want and not inside of marriage only.

i know........the women are just like objects in the series, especially in the old movies!!!!!

GMartin2R · 08-04-2002, 01:33 AM

yeah iv'e noticed that.

i saw way more sexual stuff in the older movies that i've seen on the newer ones but i've only seen 1 of he new ones.

nice gadgets

I like the new James Bond movies. They aren't exceptionally good movies but they're just cool with their accents and their cars and their pens that blow up if you click it and all the crazy stuff that goes on in those movies.

i believe this may be his last one.

I'm a fan of the Bond movies. I've always enjoyed them, and even though they have a lot of innapropriate junk in them, if you can kinda push that aside then the movies are great...i still wish they didn't have that stuff

GMartin2R · 08-05-2002, 11:31 PM

yeah agreed.

the could leave out all the bedroom type stuff and still have a gresat movie.

I like Bond. I like the old and the new ones too. I guess it's just one of those mindless action-type movies that I like to relax to, with the same type of plot all the time, the "Bond. James Bond." in every movie, some new "bond girl" in every movie, some new villain in every movie, some new gadgets in every movie, and new cars in every movie (the bimer in The World is Not Enough was nice

).

Yeah, movies like "Fight Club" and "The Usual Suspects" are great, but sometimes a guy needs a mindless action movie.

I think as long as you realize that Bond movies are for entertainment purposes only, not to help you solve the meaning of life, I think they're great!

I'm wondering when Brosnan is done (who I think is a great Bond), who the next Bond should be.

I would say my choice would probably be Christian Bale. He seems to have that Bond suave to him.

imclayinaz · 08-07-2002, 12:37 PM

Or maybe Colin Farrell - I think he would be a good Bond as well.

Kati · 08-07-2002, 12:45 PM

Yeah, there are a lot of parts they could do without, but I still love the movies. Spy gadgets are just cool...

i actually think that the old james bond movies were better because they had less "women" and more action. in the last one he had like 4 girls, but in the old ones he only had like one or two and the scene lasted only about a minute. but as socity changes, so do the movies and the "real" side of james bond is what they want to see...but they are still good movies
