Actually, Ethan Hunt has become the modern James Bond.

And love him or hate him, Tom Cruise is one of the last true movie stars.

“In Bond 25 you have four strong, intelligent women...”

That line about “strong women” always reveals the fact that these idiots have not the slightest awareness of logic, or they would realize that they are saying that “strong” women are in the minority.

Of course, their definition of a strong woman is a boiler-plate-clad pissy feminist.

Well, Bond has had a pretty good run for almost 60 years.

This is where it ends.

RIP, Mr. Bond.

Yep, I agree, I do actually get a sense of what the early Bond films felt like when I watch an MI movie. They’re fun, action packed, great stunts, and non political. You can turn off your brain, get into the story and enjoy.

Daniel Craig has done an excellent job.

I think he’s the best ever

I would still say Connery is the best ever, but Craig is a solid second.

He carries the same mixture of classy, worldly intelligence and machismo not seen in Bond since Connery.

So, is Bond going to be shown as a wimpy, weak metrosexual while the females are presented as brave and strong, and who defeat the enemy where Bond is unable to?

That’ll attract all the man-hater feminists to the movie, but not the normal people.

Hollywood is feminizing the movies for one reason alone and that is Donald Trump. He beat Hillary and now they are making sure that America will be ready for a woman president because women will be front and center in all of the previously male dominated franchises. They would have made Joker a woman but they didn’t get there in time. But this is indoctrination by entertainment which the biggest consumers of are teenagers and young adults males. If I don’t go see Bond or Star Wars they don’t care, but old white males are not the target demographic for the indoctrination.

Meanwhile in the REAL world strong athletic women are being marginalized in the sports world by fake women.

The original Bond in the book wore a bowler hat and carried a cane.

I read most of the Fleming 007 novels and do not remember Bond wearing a bowler and carrying a cane. I re-read Casino Royale, Live and Let Die and Moonraker last year for the first time in decades and do not remember coming across that. The plots of the first 4 films follow the books rather well, as does On Her Majesty's secret Service.

Bond in the novels actually comes off (IMO) more like Connery than Fleming imagined. There was a newspaper comic strip based on Fleming's novels that started in 1958 before the films were made, and the artist drew a tougher, rougher looking Bond than what Fleming described. He looks more like Connery than the David Niven type Fleming imagined.

The main difference in the book Bond and film Bond is that the film bond has lots of witty bon mots to throw around.

What is amazing is their tone deafness. For the last three or four years Hollywood has been “waking” their characters, mostly with no success. After the disaster of the new Star Wars and Terminator movies,(How in the world can they screw up one of the two original and best strong female characters like Sarah Conner?), why in the world would they keep trying?

“four strong, intelligent women who are responsible for driving”

Well, we all know women can’t drive. Maybe if four of them work together they can manage it?

Go woke, go broke is about to hit the James Bond franchise. And that’s after it has killed:

Good. Kill them off. The top two movies right now, Ford v Ferrari and Midway, are enjoying success because they’re entertaining films that failed to toe the “woke” line. No SJW pandering, just good, old fashioned filmmaking.
