I’ve always wanted to watch all the Bond films.  I’ve watched ten of them and I have to say, I never realized how mediocre the franchise is.  All of them follow the same basic formula and all of them run about 15 minutes longer than they should.  I’ve got 11 more to go.  Casino Royale seems like the light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Poor Timothy Dalton, he had the worst scripts.

Has anyone seen all of the Bond films before?

Casino Royale lost me about half way through.  I think it had four different endings.

So I’ve made it up to Live and Let Die.  Quite possibly the racist of Bond films.  It’s nice to see a race reduced to bad stereotypes.  Awesome.

Is it racism if its British?

I guess they would be if he was in Ireland but the stereotypes played in the film were grossly insulting.

On a plus side, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was really good. Probably the best film in the Bond franchise.  It’s a shame George only made one film.

FINISHED!!!!

I didn’t think I would ever do it but I watched all the Bond films.  Took me a little over a week and I had to fit in a couple of non-Bond films as sort of a palate cleanser but overall, I like the franchise.  A few of them I’ll probably never watch again but most have their charms even the bizarre Moonraker.

Moonraker is a guilty pleasure.  Deep down, my rational side knows that it’s pretty bad.  But yet I still enjoy it.

Goldfinger and Octopussy are the best, although I did like the new Casino Royale entry.

I wasn’t crazy about Octopussy.  I think For Your Eyes Only is probably the best of the Moore Bonds.

Really liked From Russia With Love.  That movie was awesome.

I think the best of the Bond movies is Her Majesty’s Secret Service.  That was an awesome movie.  Lazenby should have done more Bond films.
