It was R?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? :O :O :O
That is over reaction.
For me LTK is more a failed Miami Vice episode, it lacked Crockett & Tubbs and most importantly style & class.
The fact that there is a rating is good, you do not want to have your kids go to whatever movie they fancy since that lies on parental responsibility. How they pick up on that is their choice, even if Occasionaly even I consider some parents idiots. I remember how a father wanted to take his 7 year old to the latest Conan the Barbarian. He did not get into the cinema and was mighty angry and told eveybody that he would watch it with his kid on bluray. I saw that movie and find it containing stuff I would not like my 7 year old to look at.
<font color=blue size=7><b>The fact that many Bond films objectify women is actually a good quality.</b></font>
I agree. Just because I watch casual sexism in a film, doesn't mean I'm a sexist myself. It's nice to watch something slightly politically incorrect, particularly when everything else is so PC.
And it's not like Bond is over the top in it's objectification of women.
I like Bond movies, all of them in general.
I guess I do not have a problem with the way it has been done (any "objectification" of women) so far.
hmmm ...objectification ... I suppose that is one of the main reasons why I like Jason Statham movies. ;) (objectification of a male ...)
I love this! B-) Finally, a woman who can admit to objectifying men as much as men tend to *sometimes* objectify women. ;-) @4EverBonded, you're a lady for whom I take a deep bow!
As for the thesis, I agree. Personally, I think the objectification of women in the Bonds is:
* fairly harmless as long as one doesn't extrapolate it into his everyday life;
* part of the fun of it all, especially nowadays as we're trying hard to kick the PC world in its family jewels and beg our society to please, for once, relax;
* in fact required as the opposite, women with too much 'content', usually don't work quite as well in the Bonds, fail to be convincing and in fact waste valuable screentime in which Bond can be Bond: sexual tyrannosaur and womaniser.

I wholeheartedly agree.
;)
I don't watch Bond films primarily for 'any skirt' or nice looking ladies even, I seek action, suspense and a tangible plot line above all else, although the girls do play a part of course and will always be associated with Bond but I like to keep them at a minimum if possible. We've seen so many of them from the start, some have taken care of themselves, some have been easy prey you could say, and some fall somewhere in between, but bottom line is, and after some careful consideration, I say can't really agree with last thesis, although there was no real harm done and it's only in the earlier releases that sexual objectification with Bond really came to the fore and died down in subsequent releases for the most part, so all told there's no real harm done

Let's face it, it's part of the appeal and iconography of Bond: Honey emerges out of the ocean, Tatiana with that S-n-M collar necklet, Jill Masterson covered in gold...moving forward to today: Solange riding a horse across a beach...Bond is accepted as fantasy and fiction. I wouldn't say objectifying women is necessarily a good thing, but it is what makes Bond what it is. Exploiting women is something else, and I don't think the films ever did that.
Definitely no...MKKBB is a really goofy song title, that would have brought Bond into self-parody way to prematurely.
No.
This is my position on the film. Killing off Fiona so early was the biggest mistake of the film. Domino cannot carry the weight.
