I've seen every movie up to Skyfall and then I lost my interest in them, which is a shame since I love the franchise since over two decades.
From all the movies I've seen the only one I didn't liked was QOS.
Skyfall is one of the best Bond movies and the one I've probably watched the most.

I'd swap No Time To Die with Never Say Never Again, dump NTtD in the non-canon pile and have done with it. It was shit. It wasn't just shit at being Bond, it was shit at being a movie period.

[(Anonymous)]

I disagree (and I'll try not to repeat myself too much because I think we've already talked about this some).

For one thing, I think tons of the Craig era is still really quite good. Casino Royale was mostly good, Skyfall was good, the first half of No Time To Die was really good. That's a better ratio of hits to misses than Brosnan or Moore had. It's kinda hard to insist on really high quality standards for the Bond franchise given that the majority of Bond movies are very bad.

In regard to the fan theory stuff - I didn't like the choices they made in regard to giving Bond lore throughout the Craig movies and I didn't like the ending of NTTD. But I don't really think the fan theory had anything to do with it. Legitimizing the fan theory is not the reason that they did what they did in No Time To Die; I can't believe for a second that they care about fan theories. It was thematically in keeping with the whole thrust of the Craig era and the modern era of blockbusters, and I think that's why they did it.

I also don't think that the decision they made does legitimize the fan theory, because the Bond franchise already lacks internal consistency. It's not that different from "this never happened to the other guy", or the basic fact of how the setting of the series has changed over the course of years. And I don't think it crashes the franchise into a brick wall - they can easily just ignore the decision made and move on and it would be no problem. Like, they can just make a Bond movie with no explanations or lore and it'll be fine. No one will care.

The Craig era is the only watchable one. His Bond still enjoys women, but he actually treats them like equals. All the other bond eras are just so awful to women as to be unwatchable.

[(Anonymous)]

i've commented on this a couple of times before (short version: i mostly agree and it's now inevitable that the next actor will get a 3-5 movie contract, a new reboot and a whole arc the franchise doesn't need), so i'll just leave it with moviebob's comment to the writers at the start of his spectre review:

"STOP OVERTHINKING JAMES BOND. JUST STOP IT."

[(Anonymous)]

Which wacky fandom theory? I just recently watched the newest film and they introduced so much random shit that I'm not exactly sure which one you mean.

tbh, while I've never been a fan of Bond, Craig is definitely my least favourite interpretation. I was very neutral when his first movie came out, but after I began watching the films I found they never really captured the right aesthetic that I alway associated with Bond. Like I don't find him charismatic or charming at all, so idk, he never really worked for me.

[(Anonymous)]

one thing that's not been brought up yet - it's a popular thought that james bond movies are only ever as good as their villains. and craig's villains have been an utter shitpile

i mean, for how much everyone goes on about how great casino royale was i can't remember a single thing about le chiffre's motivations; dominic greene was so dull they had to finish the movie with some other random guy instead; silva was at least slightly interesting even if he was basically the joker; oberhauser/blofeld was holy shit if you're reduced to stealing plot points from PARODIES of your movies then you need to seriously consider the possibility that you've lost your way (the brother thing is straight out of austin powers 3); and i only watched nttd six months ago and i've already forgotten everything about safin except for the mask and the poison garden and some backstory with madeleine (i had to google his name, that's how nondescript he was)

NTTD is my favourite Craig-era Bond 👀

[dantesspirit]

Bond/007 as codenames isn't a 'fandom theory'.

*Of course* they're codenames. Just like M, Q and Moneypenny are and always have been throughout the entire series. They were always just more obvious about it with those 3.

I think because Craig wanted this to be his last Bond film, they just stopped bothering to try to hide it, unsuccessfully to varying degrees as the franchise went on, with NTTD.

But yeah, those of us who watched the films from the Connery era, already figured that out. It's amusing that it's now a 'fandom theory' though.

Ngyahh... this freaks me out.

I want there to be a law that would protect celebs' kids from fame, especially when they're underage. She didn't choose to be famous, her parents did.

[(Anonymous)]

Famous parents should know better, honestly.

"Sorry honey, no public social media profiles until you're 18."

Actually, maybe every parent should know better by now.

You shouldn't need to ship or slash to be in fandom, fandom just means you enjoy something.

I don’t know if it would have widespread appeal, but I’d definitely watch this.

Don't people get bored of the same skin tone though? Like why design hundreds of characters and not play with it.


Anyway that's just on a very superficial level. If we really want to get into it, you just seem racist, OP.
