Why do people like James Bond Films?
-
I haven't bothered to watch any of the newer ones, except about a third of the last one before getting bored and turning it off. Clichéd unlike any other series you know what's going to happen. Fights he always wins, smug one-liners and an entirely predictable ending. But, for good drama you need to get to know the characters in order to be able to emphasise with them. They need some depth. When I cap a bad guy it often stays with me for days, I don't just shrug it off and have some poncy cocktail like it never happened. The guy clearly has a personality disorder. District 9 was an awesome film in this regard, and my favourite film ever is 'Madre Muerta' which I'm sure none of you will have seen, It's Spanish and follows some thoroughly bad-ass criminal who eventually just breaks down on his knees when rejected by his victim. It is the perfect story. Despite all the fuss about British Secret Service and sharp suites, the Yanks showed us how it was done in True Lies. That's what James Bond should be. James Cameron took the genre on and whipped 007 on the bottom.

Because different people like different things - imagine that. It's called entertainment[^]

Even Connery's plot lines weren't very good. Daniel Craig has had more down-to-Earth stories, none of that idiotic bowler hat weapon shit.
Daniel Craig was brought in when they rebooted the series as Pierce Brosnan made the films too much about the gadgets
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians. Help end the violence EAT BACON
