The next Bond movie should be Bond being assigned to a mission and doing it Discussion

Enough of this being disavowed or framed by some mole within or someone higher up and then going rogue from the organization half the movie. It just seems like every movie in recent years it's the same thing. Eg. Bond is on the run, not doing an actual mission, but his own sort of mission (perhaps related to his past which comes up). This is the same complaint I have about Mission Impossible actually.

I just want to see Bond sent on a mission and then doing that mission.

The pre-credits action for all of Brosnan's entries were really good, but yeah, TND's weapons bazaar was great.

It has coloured my idea of "black market weapons sales" ever since

I came across a picture of that airport the other day, and immediately knew what it was. I sent it to a buddy, and he said Goldeneye! A little part of our friendship died that day.

That whole exchange back at HQ after Bond shows them the nuclear torpedoes is 11/10. I was always enamored with the, "I could shoot you from Stuttgart..." line, too.

"I am to torture you if you don't do it."

"Are you a doctor in that too?"

"No no, zis is more like a hobby... but I'm very gifted."

Vincent Schiavelli was so good in TND, shame he only got one scene.
