Bring back the old 007!
What happened to James Bond? It seems the newer installations are nothing but like the typical insipid Hollywood action movie. Gone is the charm, the suave, the tongue-in-cheek humor, I even miss the chauvinistic attitude of the secret agent. For therein lies the charm and uniqueness of James Bond, he has to be somewhat unbelievable in his coolness factor and in getting out of impossible situations but the recent ones have been seriously lacking in these things. James Bond is meant to be un-pc, i.e. not politically correct, not all serious and real-life grittiness. For that is what is amusing and entertaining about the character. Without that, he losses his lustre and becomes a typical action hero that's just not so...James Bond.
