Bond, Metrosexual-James Bond

Quantam of Solace
So Quantam of Solace opens today and I'll end up seeing it, but I'm not that excited about it. I rewatched Casino Royale recently and didn't like it all. It doesn't feel like a James Bond movie. I blame Barbara Broccoli, the producer who took over after her husband died. She's turned it from a male fantasy into a female one. James Bond should not wax his entire body. He shouldn't walk slowly out of the surf in a tight little swim-suit (that's the job of the Bond Girl). And by all the gods he should never fucking say lines like, "I have no armor left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever I am, I'm yours." Can you possibly imagine Sean Connery ever uttering such drivel? No, because he was a man's man. Someone not above slapping a girl on her bottom and saying, "Go away now, this is man talk."

I'm sorry if that offends you ladies, but there are enough chick-flicks released every year. Leave James Bond for us, please!

Comments:
Vesper is his motive and Judy Dench, as "M", is his boss, Craig plays a pussy whipped Bond.
 
There should be a happy medium between the slightly misogynistic bond and the wimpy-heart-on-my-sleeve Bomd. But, I'm a chick, so that explains my answer. But then again, I *am* a chick...
