Go back to the 50's/60's

Rating: 5/10 (23 August 2016)

It must have been easy for all the actors involved to learn their lines, there weren't that many, it was all action and very little dialogue.
James Bond was a product of the fifties, stories written by a man who had lived the spy life in the forties so knew what he was talking about. The Connery years were without doubt the best as they were set int the time of the novels, I've read them, in the sixties, all by the way. The character of this a the most recent films is not a of that period so the only connection to James Bond is his name, M and Q otherwise it could be any spy movie.
Now they are talking about having a black Bond or even worst a female, Whaaaaat? Bond is a naval commander of the 40's/50's and would have been neither. This just PC gone mad.
Don't get me wrong, the film is very entertaining, fab special effects but little story or good dialogue. Some good performances, especially Ralph Finnes and Rory Kinnear, the females being instantly forgettable, especially the now PC Miss Moneypenny. Daniel Craig is Daniel Craig, neither good or bad, just average.
So if they want to make a fab Bond movie go back and read the Flemming novels and set it in the 50's or 60's when there was a cold war. Write a good story, and there have been some books, eg, Colonel Sun by the wonderful Kingsley Amis would be perfect. And get someone with the sex appeal and humour of Connery.
