why did they need a reboot? Every Bond movie ever made money random thoughts Send a noteboard - 17/03/2013 12:02:14 PM

Writing something new that isn't a Bond and calling a reboot really is nothing more than whoring out the franchise to get more people to watch what is really just another action flick. I can understand why Hollywood does it I just can’t understand why the fans suck it up. If you want to make actions flicks with some do character then do but if you want to make Bond movies then damn it make Bond movies with cheesy one liners and make him a womanizer not some love sick puppy.

After losing interest 3 times in Skyfall,I realize the Bond franchise is a retarded shadow of itself Tom - 10/03/2013 07:06:31 PM 1341 Views
I enjoyed it. nossy - 10/03/2013 08:01:16 PM 941 Views

Bond movies are only plausible as comedy Tom - 11/03/2013 08:39:10 PM 969 Views

Yes. It needs to take itself far less seriously. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:44:17 PM 904 Views
Skyfall, itself, I'd put in the top three of Bond movies. Palatine - 11/03/2013 01:14:26 PM 1245 Views
I shudder to wonder what the other two are Tom - 11/03/2013 08:48:38 PM 938 Views
I haven't been fond of Daniel Craig James Bond. Fanatic-Templar - 11/03/2013 05:57:41 PM 1235 Views
Joyless! Yes, that's a good word. beetnemesis - 11/03/2013 06:24:03 PM 930 Views
Neither have I. The charmless, joyless thing is part of it. Tom - 11/03/2013 08:45:21 PM 846 Views
To be fair there is one scene I liked a lot in Casino Royale Fanatic-Templar - 14/03/2013 07:26:19 AM 1234 Views
That's why they call it a reboot. And let's face it, the franchise needed it. MonCul - 13/03/2013 12:35:11 PM 937 Views
The new Bond movies are anything but realistic. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:51:00 PM 980 Views

^ This. Exactly this. I agree 100%. *NM* Tom - 17/03/2013 04:48:26 PM 450 Views
It's fine and dandy that the movies made money, but the point is the movies sucked. MonCul - 19/03/2013 11:00:22 AM 909 Views
They could have made the exact same movie and just changed his name and I would have liked it random thoughts - 23/03/2013 03:58:01 PM 920 Views
I couldn't agree more with your post. MonCul - 26/03/2013 12:10:38 PM 896 Views
It should have been called "Bond fails at everything he tries to accomplish." ßelals Girl - 13/03/2013 12:43:42 PM 936 Views
Yes, it's because I remember when Bond movies were fun that I posted this. Tom - 13/03/2013 01:52:37 PM 919 Views
I think the answer is that different audiences enjoy them now. The usual darker/grittier redux. Zalis - 15/03/2013 07:58:04 PM 976 Views
