dunno, I really enjoyed skyfall. I thought it brought bond back into it's glory. maybe not like the older films, but I think Daniel craig makes a great bond.
I cant find the article but I was reading somewhere that this movie is going to stop making the bond girls how they've always been portrayed where bond is saving them and they are all attracted to him and whatnot.
IMO, that's just bullshit. idc what your political agenda is, if a chick is attracted to a suave guy, why does that have to have sexist connotations?

o snomans a mod thats cool
@Bluemoon the hero rescuing the princess is A LITTLE played out at this point. no need for that kind of crap trope imo. would like to see some more original scriptwriting

The entire point of James bond is to be chauvinist, and women (even feminist friends of mine) love it.
It just so happens that Daniel Craig is attractive enough to make it okay.
:crazy:

Yeah but they won't write him well enough to make it worthwhile, just like javier bardem. Skyfall was basically a weaker version of the dark knight and a lame coming of age story.

Because everything is sexist.
Everything.
You can pretty much make an argument for absolutely any film/book/whatever form of media being sexist if you want to.
That being said...dunno...maybe they'll do something interesting with it.

I don't know, in Quantum of Solace bond helped the girl get revenge and become more awesome. The damsel in distress that is also super attracted to Bond has sort of been done to death and is boring at this point. The only real question is "what act will Bond bone this girl".
Bring me more ladies like Vesper or Camille and I will be fine.

exactly. I don't see why movies have to be politically correct..its complete fantasy and unrealistic. I mean, watch the damn movie and tell me that anyone who is in their right mind would be like...
"well, I cant help but feel like girls falling all over bond is anything short of sexist. it's ruining my immersion"

Pretty sure if your own lady found out you people were bringing you them you wouldn't be fine. ;P

I don't mind intelligent female characters that have depth, but like, James Bond is going to be sexist. It just is.
Quantum of Solace was an awful movie.

Keep James Bond a womanizing ass hole, but make a few women who are not totally into that and it would be a nice change of pace.

I would bet there will eventually be a genderswapped bond film.

I don't even think it's THAT sexist.
i mean..like there's never been a woman in the history of women that have seen an attractive, dangerous dude and said "I want to have sex with that man." I'm sure all of us know a woman that has done this exact thing.
give me a break.

I mean, lets be honest. we all have a friend that's a womanizing asshole that has been turned down by a girl for being an asshole..and he still sleeps with her. I just find that unrealistic.

I just get slightly annoyed when girls hate Sean Connery as bond because hes too chauvinist. like ya ok just cuz hes not hot to you doesn't mean he was a bad bond ur just blinded by hot men
