I wonder if the blonde Ubermensch protagonist will have to play second fiddle to some female character...

Speaking of action movies, G20 may be just the thing to help the country heal after Literally Hitler's re-election. It asks the question "What if a black woman President of the United States was an action hero who had to single-handedly stop a bunch of white terrorists at the G20 summit?"

I don't know. I guess if Harrison Ford in "Air Force One" is a thing, then this can be a thing, too.

If this was a movie made in 1973, I think I'd be interested, but it's some new crap so I don't care.

Black women are the hardest sell to audiences as leads. They are naturally abrasive and unlikable. I know the meme is Zendaya is forced on everybody but Hollywood need to stop trying to make Viola Davis, action hero happen. It’s never gonna happen she gives off bitch vibes why she works in her Suicide Squad role.

If you wanted this film to work. Get a time machine and go back to 1998 and do it with Pam Grier or Angela Bassett.

What a bunch of sellouts.

25 movies was a pretty good run.

Some of them are really shite, others are quite good.

The last good one was probably Goldeneye (don't @ me), so it's been a while.

The game was better.

[TheManWithNoPlan]

Looking back Skyfall was probably good point to end it full circle.

I like most of them. You need a presence like Moore to make the shitty ones good, but I like some of the shitty Moores, too.

Really there are about four, maybe five bad Bond movies. Granted two of them are Craig’s.

What I’ll say for Barbara Broccoli is she kept up making each movie feel like an event, even in the assembly line era of Roger Moore, you didn’t get a new Bond every year. Not since the Connerys anyway, and even then those all feel like events…until you get to You Only Live Twice and he looks dead inside.

Amazon turning the franchise into an assembly line is where I hop off. Same for that John Wick spin-off that makes those four movies not feel special anymore.
