Thought process: Elizabeth II became queen in 1952, the first bond book Ian Flemming made released 1953. Bonds whole story normally until they try to actualize things is that he is already married to queen and country, so he no matter what chooses her over all. The last movie released before she died. Instead of “shaking things up” by picking a younger Bond, I think it would be better if they just end it on a Bond many didn’t like, a retiree. (Many did like him as well…). But I feel it would be a fitting ending.
If anything just bring a new 00 agent, one that’s fit for a new era
How do you skip terrible movies? I find the only way to find out if a movie is good is to watch it. If I went by reviews I’d probably be watching mostly blockbusters. Critics and I don’t always align either. A lot of the movies I like I find land around 60-65 on IMDB, and 50% on rotten tomatoes.
I only get to the theater maybe 5-6 times per year, and that’s almost always with my spouse, so the movie is secondary to the experience.
I do watch a lot on streaming, and between the summary, genre, actors, director, and reviews, both professional and word-of-mouth…I can usually pick out what I will enjoy. If it turns out bad, it’s one button to turn it off.
