Every Bond movie is great and Bond never gets old. What exactly is it that makes Commander Bond so great?

His smart arse comments?
His ability to get the girl?
He's not perfect?
His intelligence?
His disregard for authority?
His cool toys?
His sense of justice?

It's easy to say all but usually most have one that stands out. I say it's they show flaws and he overcomes them.

He's a spy/secret agent -> cool
He can shoot -> cool
He can fight -> cool
Drives awesome cars -> cool

Basically all that makes him a pretty sweet character.

Some people eat that shite up.

He's posh. He embodies the "GQ" look. He is handsome. He has sex with foreign women. He makes hilarious puns after murdering his fellow man. He has awesome gadgets.


Bond is awesome.

I'm watching Ovation as there's been 4 Bond movies in a row.

Goldeneye
Spy Who Loved Me
View to a Kill
Thunderball

I was hoping Man with the Golden Gun was on. That is a great one.

The best ones in my opinion are (no order)
Skyfall
Man With the Golden Gun
Goldfinger
From Russia with Love
To Live and Let Die
Diamonds are Forever

Man it was always the cool gadgets he got from Q. My dad and I would watch them and I used to think that shite was the coolest shite ever as a kid.

Pretty much this. He is one of my favorite characters. He also gets to travel the worlds most exotic places on the government dime.

Love the movies

This. He is a wish fulfillment/power fantasy kind of character.

Does anyone know why Ovation is showing Bond every Sunday?

I need to write them a thank you letter.

He's a white dude who pulls a lot of strange tail but doesnt get the AIDS like Charlie Sheen.

James Bond still wishes he was an OT baller.

The character is paper thin as far as being a real person with no personal development ever. Makes it easy to switch out actors.

In truth, I havent watched a James Bond movie since Roger Moore was Bond. eons ago. I always thought Pierce Brosnan had a case of the ghey and I just dont like Daniel Craig. Now if they ever make a movie about Vlad Putin, I think Craig is his spittin' image.

He would make a good Putin.

I think he has been the best Bond since Connery and I liked the last Bond movie better than any of the others he has been in.
