"I do like the films but some of them just got silly.
Why not just shoot him rather than set up unfeasibly daft traps?
 "
Because that would be a pretty shit film. |

Same thing with a lot of video games, too. I just played through the Uncharted _rilogy recently, and the number of times the bad guys caught Drake and then just didn’t shoot him on the spot for… reasons. It’s a very common crutch / trope that a lot of writers seem to be unable to shake. |

Because that's not what escapism is all about.
The movies would be a bit short too. |

I think they lost their way during the Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan years. Too many gadgets, cheap sets and silly plots.
The Daniel Craig era has brought Bond back to where it should be. |

He might have been but the plots were crap.
Connery was the best Bond, except he should have stuck to his principles and not done Diamonds are Forever. |

I’ve said that after watching all the Bond movies a sniper with a decent rifle and scope far quicker and easier way to get rid of someone. |

Really? Goldeneye is probably the best one of the lot, don't rate Daniel Craig that highly. |

"I agree, films shouldn't exceed 120 minutes.
Or the cinema ticket should come with a glass of wine and a snack as mandatory if it’s longer than 2 hours…"
That would be nice but a toilet break would be higher on my list of requirements. |

Only some of them are silly? Can you name one that isn't?  "
In theory, the one in Goldfinger strapped to the table and the laser edging up towards his groin. He only got out of it by talking his way out.
Can't think of a particularly silly trap in "From Russia With Love".

Oh for the days when films had intermissions.  |
