Film is forever.
I'm a huge fan of the Bond series. Through the years I've been able to cast a more critical eye on the series than I was capable of as a callow youth. And, as the character of 007 lurches toward the new century, I find that I'm far less impressed by the gadget-heavy entries and more a fan of the flicks that bothered to have a plot surrounding the spectacular stunts and set pieces. TO KILL any day. As for the smug dreck of the late-Connery era and almost all the Roger Moore entries, they could be launched into space or buried at sea for all I care.
