As most of my followers know, James Bond is an icon to me and the franchise is ultra special. So I thought I’d post links to my Bond reviews of last year for those who may have not seen them, as Spectre is coming to cinemas very soon and I want to refresh everyone with my thoughts on 007. I hope you enjoy plowing through my takes on them.

I read a lot of Ian Fleming’s books. I like the early movies with Sean Connery and the atmosphere in them match the books. 🙂

My only Bond experiences are with Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. And this 80s or 90s cartoon called James Bond Jr.

Awesome Vinnie! I LOVE Bond too, so yeah I’ll definitely be checking out your reviews. I grew up w/ Roger Moore Bond flicks, but I have a soft spot for Timothy Dalton 😀

I can’t wait for this film. I’m impressed with how many you’ve reviewed. Roger is my Bond of choice, but after Skyfall I think I may be swaying.

This is great Vinnie! I’ll enjoy looking back at some of your reviews. 🙂
BTW, you should really try the books. A few years ago they were ‘re-released with scrumptious new covers!

A great series of reviews, Vinnie, as I said at the time.
re: the books, I don’t know which you’ve read, but may I recommend From Russia with Love, which is really excellent, and Moonraker, which is so entirely different from the movie in every way that it’s fascinating (and, as I recall, a cracking yarn in itself). Also, Casino Royale is a really obvious recommendation because it’s the first book, but it’s genuinely a brilliant novel too.

Confession: I have never sat through a single James Bond film or read a James Bond book. As much as I like to ogle handsome British men, it’s just never appealed to me, although I wish it did. Bond movies are, for me, one of those things I want to like but don’t, like avacados and strenuous exercise.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that, Bond movies aren’t for everyone. I’m a huge fan of the series but I can see why there are people that it doesn’t appeal to them. I was waiting for a saucy line and you got it with admitting to liking to ogle British men.,
