Subject: Re: James Bond.

I used to be such a big fan of the series, but it's turned into such a blockbuster-joke. Watching the recent ones, even Pierce Brosnan seems to be bored with all the mindless action and phones in his performances. That's nothing against Brosnan; he's all right as Bond. But his movies have sucked.

I liked Timothy Dalton, even if pretty much nobody else did, because his Bond was more ruthless and had a Sean Connery-like presence. Unfortunately, his two movies weren't Bond-like enough (in that the plot should be about global domination - The Living Daylights was okay, but not megalomaniacal enough for Bond).

The last Roger Moore ones, when they decided he couldn't act, turned into a collection of tacky one-liners, which led me to think...what was the last really good James Bond movie?

I'd have to go all the way back to The Spy Who Loved Me...and that was in 1977. That's saying something about the way the series has degenerated.
