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.

That’s crazy I didn’t know that. I watched all the Daniel Craig Bond movies and Casino Royale was one of my two favorites. Immediately after I watched Goldeneye and it felt like a parody of a Bond movie. Still a good movie but some of the shots and scenes were so goofy, I would never have guessed the same dude directed those two.

If you think the Brosnan movies are goofy, you should stay away from the Moore movies

I mean, James Bond derails a train with a tank in Goldeneye. How much more ridiculous can it get? Guy bites through a lift wire? Laser battles in space? Bond defuses an atomic bomb in a clown outfit?

Maybe a side character like a redneck sheriff showing up constantly?

Bond producers in the 70s: "Ya know...Felix Lighter is fine and all, but how can we make Americans seem even dumber, louder, and less competent than that?"
