    Spectre

    If you are a fan of James Bond, Spectre will leave you disappointed and flabbergasted.
    Bond is known for his wit and one-liners but here there are only lame come-backs. M for moron and C for careless.... I felt like puking.

    Another trademark - Bond girl..... less said the better. Sigh

    As an action movie, it's ok. But for a Bond movie, it's neither stirring or shaken.

    Go with low expectations

    NOV - have you read Ian Fleming's versions/depiction of James Bond?

    Taking out Sean Connery - the other Bonds that came closest to how Ian Fleming described him were/are - Daniel Craig, Timothy Dalton, Lazensby - in that order.

    It is a different thing that we were all lulled into the caricaturing of a serious spy during the Roger Moore years..

    Sam Mendes is now giving a more grittier Bond in keeping with the times.

    I have not seen Spectre (yet) - but Casino Royale made Bond human, and Skyfall made Bond weak and capable of mistakes - even more human!

    Its a far cry from the silly double entendres of the Roger Moore films

    Yes I have... since my teens - used to save money and buy the whole collection from Casino Royale onwards.

    Agree with you on both Sean Connery and Roger Moore. Loved Casino Royale which kept faithfully to the book.... Craig was awesome!

    But Spectre is politically-correct and thus the spirit of Bond is destroyed.

    Ian Fleming's Bond is only Sean Connery.
    While the rest are 'as' James Bond, Sean Connery 'is' James Bond ...

    My thoughts -

    Daniel Craig - Too muscular to fit the profile of a spy as depicted by IF.
    Timothy Dalton - Looks too nice and does not have the ruthlessness required to be spy.
    George Lazenby - Somewhat acceptable

    I enjoyed Roger Moore but will not compare with Sean Connery for James Bond as pictured by IF.
