James Bond b.1962 d.2008 RIP.

I dont know what this re-booting of the Bond series is meant to acheive.The things that made the bond series so memorable
a]The super cool villians - Blofeld,Scaramanga,Dr No
b]The delicious dialogues [I thought Christmas came only in winter :-)]
c]The super cool bond girls.
d]The gadgets
e]Bond himself being the ultimate arrogant chauvinist.

All of that has been removed and we have an watered down film having a no good villian making cheap jokes [the damaged goods commment was just too childish].The bond girls [Olga & the other one atterton i think] hardly make an impression.Bond himself goes through the movie with just one expression on his face.There are no gadgets,no witty dialogue nothing that even remotely interests us.The less said about the plotline the better.If producers want to make a realistic spy movie they would better watching the bourne movies [though these movies themselves could have been made much better.]
If i wanted this "humane raw" movie i might as well go to a vin diesel/statham movie they probably would have better stunts.
We need someone to do a nolan and rescue this series.
