A movie series that has span 22 films over 48 years. If it was any other movie, the audience would probably be bored to death by the never-ending clinche plot (if, there are any audiences) and the director would most probably be paying for the production out of his own pockets.
But its a James Bond movie we are talking about here. Like a fine bottle of wine, the longer you keep it, the mellower it gets. James Bond is a legend. Legends live on forever.
The latest installment of the franchise, Quantum of Solace only gets better. The plot revolves around Bond hunting down the culprits responsible for the death of his lover, Vesper (from Casino Royale) and how he matures as person during this process. Memsmerized by the film, I did a brief research on former James Bond movies and was surprised to discover that Pierce Bronsnan was not the first James Bond.
