It's so sad to see James Bond being dragged through the mud

Rating: 1/10 (18 May 2017)

I have been a fan of James Bond for years and every bond film was good up until Daniel Craig took on the role.
In 2006, the James Bond films changed. The original creators were now no longer part of creating the films and the new generation has taken over and because of this change behind the scenes, it's had a major effect on what we see in the films.
The James Bond films that star Daniel Craig are terrible! He looks nothing like the original character. His presence on screen isn't suave and sophisticated (he has a typical lad look about him). The gun barrel sequence was removed which was an iconic trademark that draw your attention to the screen straight away and it was one of the elements that made the James Bond series different and unique to all the other spy thrillers. The one liners and double attendres that made the films a bit more fun have been removed to make the films more serious which James Bond was in the books but isn't in the films (there is a difference which the new generation has not got a grip of). The iconic sets and outfits have now been made to be more subtle and somewhat boring. The clever intelligent script writing has been changed to suit a more action packed film with no real substance. The iconic villains and bond girls are now just men with a grudge against humanity and girls who get 2 seconds screen time before they are put away to give center stage to an actor who doesn't even really want the role himself.
The elements that made James Bond, James Bond, have all been removed to suit a brain dead audience. It's sad to see that most of the new generation of film watchers actually prefer Daniel Craig's half arsed attempt at filling the shoes of the iconic hero, when all the actors who preceded him created something magical that will stand the test of time. The older films were innovative and creative. They were fun and dignified. The were typically British and iconic. They gave us an insight to the times when the films were made. There was so much to the older films that is overlooked.
The new films will be forgotten in 20 years. The 5 actors before Daniel will always be remembered. My opinion, is that really matters in film making, but then again, some directors don't care about that and just make something predictable and unoriginal to make money and this film made the money... but that's it.
