If Sean Connery is not James Bond in the film, I will take a pass.
Me, too. I wonder what Sean Connery thinks of the Bond movies of recent years.
You said it; it’s either Connery or nothing, although I thought George Lazenby was great in OHMSS.
The best Bond flicks belong to another time, when there was no PC, no social messages, nothing but entertainment well done. There comes a time when producers of a sure thing start to run out of ideas then come up with things like gender & race fluid superspies.
My souvenir of those earlier times of Goldfinger & Thunderball is a 7.65mm Walther PPK which I bought in lieu of an Aston-Martin. Unlike me, it never gets old.
