  • Hasn't sullied my enjoyment of the Craig era one iota. Was I happy that Bond died? No. Does it bother me? Also no. I love the all the Craig films except Spectre. They're my go to Bond films.

  • I got half way through The Joker and gave up. I found what i watched derivative and shallow. It's insulting that it's connected to the DC character.

  • Your post seems a bit 'political' to me. But there will always be the Spy genre, just like there will always be Cop movies. There will always be drama and action in the Spy genre. Bond, Bourne, Mission Impossible. All big money makers.
