Sorry, I lasted about a minute and a half. Not sure whether that's despite being a Prince fan, or because of it.

You MUST watch the ending to validate our opinions Cr-egg shows up as the court jester he is

OK, I skipped to the end, so I didn't see why Craig was dressed in Elizabethan costume. I suppose they deserve some credit for the line "hey, get off me double-O ugly".

It’s technically not supposed to be a reboot it is DC s take on trying the multi-verse , variant thing marvel just successfully pulled off, and has several movies set around it, in dc universe the joker was a one off but more successful than the Zack Snyder dc world. So this is another that might tie in to another dc movie before flashpoint
Favorite Bond Movie: Dr No, From Russia with Love, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Octopussy, For Your Eyes Only, A View To a Kill, The Living Daylights, GoldenEye
I do know that I'm very excited to see where this industry heads. Will this reboot trend eventually die off? Will Hollywood ever go back to producing more original work than adaptations or remakes? Or are we destined to continue to see reboots for so long that in another 10 years even The Dark Knight itself will be rebooted again? For now I'll sit back in my overstuffed recliner, pop in that Blu-Ray copy of Casino Royale, and smile while I think about how great it'll be to see Daniel Craig returning again in Quantum of Solace even though I'm the biggest fan of the classic James Bond movies. Because if it weren't for these reboots, we'd never have been able to enjoy such great entertainment.
Notice who is standing next to Cr-egg when he receives his award for being the luckiest shmuck ever to have a screen actors guild card because his female mentor molded him into her hush puppy. Where the hell is his wife?
There have been 4 M's in EON's production of Bond films. Care to take a guess at what the next 'woke' production of Bond 26 will be looking for if a new M is desired?
Vulture.com's Bilge Ebiri excerpt: "A pivot back to a more lighthearted, fantastical Bond might be welcome after all that Sturm und Drang. Surely I’m not the only person suffering from moody continuity fatigue.' https://www.vulture.com/2021/10/no-time ... -here.html
So, this Friday, I am on my own (wife and puppy are gone for the weekend), and with midterms over, and the marking down, I will be settling down to watch a Bond movie. I feel like a lean, grounded Bond, so here are my choices:
From Russia with Love;
For Your Eyes Only (Currently the preferred choice)
The Living Daylights
The World is Not Enough
Which Bond film do you find yourself going back when you have a chance to just enjoy one?

As a Connery nut, of the 4 choices I'd go with FRWL, an amazing film and a must see. TLD is always a solid choice also, but when I'm in the mood for pure concentrated "Bond" I put on Thunderball, but that's just me.
The Rouge Warrior, On Hermaphrodite's Secret Service
TLD , as daltons first bond he is believable in the role by the time opening credits start.
I think until Babs bond eon took great care introducing the new bonds, GE great introduction to brosnan, TLD Dalton while not Moore was still in a bond adventure other movies later copied moments from.
OHMSS incredible film, I kind of wish connery had got to make it , apparently he thought he was and liked the script then eon made you only live twice next.
I was going to make a point about bond in the role too long or poor last movies, DAF, AVTAK, DAD, NTTD,
Aside from Craig being up to his next deciding how it’s going to be made, the other bonds were capable of better and some of their on screen time had best moments in their career, but it’s eon letting down the production and fans.
Favorite Bond Movie: Moonraker Goldfinger The Spy Who Loved Me
Favorite Movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Crazy For Christmas, The Empire Strikes Back, League of Gentlemen (1960's British film), Big Trouble in Little China, Police Academy 2, Carry On At Your Convenience, Commando, Halloween III: Season of the Witch,
Thanks for the input everyone. It's always nice to discuss Bond with people who are knowledgeable and have a passion for the films and character.
I will probably go with FYEO, as It my favourite Roger Moore Bond (by an ever so slight margin). But no matter which one I watch, I will do so with a large martini (made to Fleming's original recipe) and enjoy a large bowl of Spaghetti Bolognese (while I'm not at Shrublands I've been on a bit of a health kick this month so I think I deserve it) washed down with a nice Chianti (the red kind). Then an espresso and cigar to finish the evening off.
