I'm not saying that I thought any of those mentioned were bad movies (didn't see HAPPY FEET and the latest BOURNE, but saw the others albeit not in a theatre but from disk). I was also pleasantly surprised by JOHN CARTER and most Marvel movies I saw (though I'm tired of those repetitive CGI orgies in the meantime). Just saying that none of those have any meaning for the future of the Bond series. Bond fans are not run-of-the-mill action fans and won't desert just because some Spandex models offer more bang for the buck.

Come on Bap.
I actually agree with a fair amount of things you say on this board, but Marvel film's success have absolutely nothing to do with Bond.
Wether I agree with the current direction of the Bond films or not, I can guarantee that Bond 25 will outgross Dr. Strange. -

I was thoroughly underwhelmed with Captain America Civil War and have not been truly impressed with anything MCU related since the first Avengers film, the one exception maybe being Guardians of the Galaxy. The MCU has been running the same playbook on autopilot for years now, which I'm sure is why the faithful are enjoying it so much, so more power to them.
That said, like, do you even realize how much you claim things like this only for Skyfall and Spectre to have massive success? -

Verily I say unto theecongratulations (??) on being perhaps the only person on Earth underwhelmed by the magnificent CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR. Maybe if it had had a rubber shark in it you would have been more impressed.

Not surprising because Marvel hits it out of the ball park every time whereas the Bond producers seem to not even know where the ball park is located anymore and one now has to question the future of the 007 franchise.
Disney is a huge corporation releasing Marvel films at 'conveyor belt' regularity. Eon/Danjaq is a small business assisted by a studio, MGM, which goes bankrupt on a regular basis!
If Disney bought 100 percent of the Bond franchise I'd imagine we'd get spin-off Bond films like young Bond age 16, Bond set in the 1960s, Bond vs Star Wars, Pixar Bond, and the Kevin McClory tribute film: Thunderball part three! -

Rubber sharks make everything better.
And yes, Civil War was just more of the same. I don't see what everyone else is flipping out about. Winter Soldier underwhelmed me too.
I liked Ant-Man and the aforementioned Guardians of the Galaxy though. -

Hmmm. So you're telling me (not to mention others) that I did not post here for a short while because of
Doctor Strange
?
How did you deduce as much? I'm curious.
Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm rea
