Jade Bahr Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 ^People and critics seemed to like this "modern" take on Bond. So it looks like you're in the minority here. The next Bond might be different but in no world sexist ever again. Those times are over. If a character wants to live on in other times he or she has to adapt. Simple as that. If that's always a good thing might be another question. Maybe some things from the past should just stay in the past. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Most of the best Bond films are still the Sean Connery ones. My favorite three would be Thunderball, From Russia With Love and Dr. No. In that order. Of the subsequent ones, I didn't really care much for most of the Roger Moore era. I did like The Living Daylights (first of the Timothy Dalton ones) and Goldeneye (first of the Pierce Brosnan ones). I think Daniel Craig only made one good one, Skyfall.

I prefer Cadino Royale, intense, romantic and dramatic. Skyfall is full of empty sex and bad story, the song of Adele, the best of it.

A lot of them belong to big media companies (some of them being owned by movie companies... not very objective) Â Many (many) people have been hating "modern takes" in many movies. For example, the Marvel movies, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. Â Most "modern takes" are divisive. But people resist and will resist. Even if the Hollywood Ogre and its woke cult is big. Â Because people hope. They hope for less division, less woke BS, more quality, more unity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really only like Goldeneye from Brosnan's run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo, "get woke, go broke"  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's hard for people under the spell of an ideology to criticize it. Â Can you see how divisive wokism is? It's there: within its doctrine and in the results it gets (division, bitterness, etc.). Â It's woke trash that judges people on the basis of their skin color and gender. Wokism is the worst form of sexism and racism. It's fuel for division, disguised as "good intentions".
