I used to be a giant James Bond fan. As a kid I watched them all and loved Timothy Dalton’s Bond (it was the first I was introduced to in the 80’s).
I even enjoyed Casino Royale. At some point I lost interest.
I think it has something to do with the lack of stakes. Even if Bond dies, I know he’ll be back in a few years with someone else playing him.
I keep meaning to go back and watch the rest of the Daniel Craig movies but just haven’t gotten around to it. I considered putting it on this list but didn’t feel good about it because of where I am with the Bond franchise.
I also didn’t include Wonder Woman 84 on it. I love Gadot’s portrayal but hate WB’s lack of direction on where to take the DC film universe. It just makes it harder for me to care about their characters.
