I'd make a guess that it's the non trivial plot, outstanding performance and top notch actors that make Bond such a successful franchise.

- watwut 5y agoWut? The plots are fairly trivial and predictable. Bond movies are schematic movies with completely average performances.
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoI like Craig's version but agree with you in general. I like the old movies for nostalgia reasons but they are not exactly high quality cinema. That's ok. They can just be fun, but I think it's a little silly to hold them up as more than they are just because they had some cultural cache half a century ago. Brosnon is a fine actor, but I never liked his version. It was like watching a prep school dweeb act like he's a macho badass. Just never came across as particularly believable or compelling. I hope moving forward the franchise continues the trend of getting into some more serious/substantial character development and conflicts. The Craig versions were mostly better on this point, but they could go so much further.
