    I rewatched them all when Amazon added them a few years back.

    There are precious few good Bond films. A lot of them are quite generic, and the later Brosnan movies especially bad. The appearance of Madonna in anything is never a good sign.

    What’s most surprising is that there was nearly as big a gap between Spectre and No Time To Die as the entire Brosnan era.

      I love the Brosnan movies but they’re not particularly good. Was just my entry point to Bond and I want to fuck the shit out of the man so that helps. Roger Moore though… my favorite. And both of those Bonds made some of the worst Bond movies but they also had the suave down for me like no one else did.

        I do have a fondness for the Moore era.

        Growing up in the 80s, he was my generation’s Bond, and every bank holiday or Boxing Day movie was nearly always one of his.

        The zoom to the scarecrow in Live and Let Die scared the crap out of me as a kid though.

        Rewatching, they’re mostly objectively bad. I do have respect for him leaving the role, because being paired with women young enough to be his granddaughter was making him feel icky.
