Moonraker.

Your argument is invalid.

Being shit is sort of part of Bond tradition

Edit: This comment was meant to be jokey but re-reading it, that tone isn't really achieved.

My point was just that Bond movies have a series of being all over the place. I mean we have gotten a lot of insane bullshit in the past. And while the original movies were more 'serious', they also had way more camp and fun than the Craig ones do. I love the Craig ones for what they are but they're a very gritty take on Bond. I just hope it doesn't become the default.

Sure, but I'd rather watch an earnestly bad Moonraker than some algorithm driven streaming slop like The Tomorrow War or The Electric State. The argument isn't that all Bond movies are good, it's that modern blockbusters are empty.

And there are plenty of Bond movies that are empty. Tomorrow Never Dies is the first example that comes screaming into mind.

I just think you're all getting insanely defeatist about something that hasn't occured yet.
