A bond(007) a day keeps you sound

Nowadays star movies is playing Bond movies everyday. What I like best about the movies is of course Bond himself and the stunts and Gadgets used. For a guy of course the list would include the beautiful ladies. This is the first time I saw Roger Moore as Bond. But my personal favorites among the Bonds is Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery.There is no match for them in Daniel Craig. Among other characters, I like elegance of Judy Dench.

The best part of the movie is usually the opening , the stunts are excellent like the plane scene in "Tomorrow Never Dies" or the run in "Casino royale". In the casino Royale scene, the interesting part is that the Guy whom Bond is chasing finds his way without raking or breaking anything, but Bond just destroys anything that comes in his way :).

But if you think about it, Bond movies are nothing but a glorified Bollywood movie. Unlike some of the other Hollywood Movies (which is the reason why I prefer them) , there is no new ideas(like in Mission Impossible) or the thoughts(Memento-beautiful idea for a movie) or plans(like in ocean series). But that's the reason they are 007 movies isn't it?. So they are glorified bollywood movies why?- they have the typical masala - Hero(Bond), Heroin(multiple beautiful ladies with skimpy dresses), Daaku (of course he is the one whom bond is chasing) and charlie(filled in by MoneyPenny or the scientist who keeps getting the gadgets). Not to forget the ending is always good , Bond is always victorious, of course they have to keep the gate open for the next series.

But finally what matters to a viewer is entertainment which is sufficient in these movies and they will continue to be of their own class for that reason.
