The Moore Bond films were all standalone adventures, no soap opera storyline that drags on. Moore's Bond didn't constantly complain about his job and go rogue, and there was no villains suffering from mommy and daddy issues. Moore pulls off the humour effortlessly, unlike Craig, and the filmmakers now can't seem to grasp how to make a fun/traditional Bond film that holds up to the classics. Too much content being poorly recycled, lame homages and mixing styles that don't work well. The bad CGI effects also date these films before they're even released, and the title songs and soundtracks have been rather lackluster to put it mildly.
I'm all for the return of a Moore/Connery style Bond film, but this isn't the way to do it.
Mixing styles definitely isn't something that works. They are just rocking the boat trying to appeal to both classic Bond fans and the ones who became "fans' after the reboot. And that pretty much showes how Barbara and Co. are insecure about it all ever since they are in charge.
Someone should take control over the franchise who actually wants to make REAL Bond movies and who would be proud to have the power to make movies with such an iconic character.
Who coud that be,I have no idea,but IMO until that someone doesn't show up we won't be seeing any new Bond films(in the real sense of word).
A couple of days ago I read the title that went:"Bond is ridiculous again" and I just thought about "realism" *coughcrashingthroughwallscough* and "seriousness" *coughhomealonestylecough* that seem to be the main reasons why this reboot was praised in the first place...now THAT is ridiculous
