What ticks your boxes for a Bond film?
Personally I like loads of servicable women. I do like Bond to get laid at least twice, possibly more, but not like Moore! I certainly don't want corney one-liners and an unconvincing seduction scene.
I like loads of action - hand-to-hand combat, plenty of shooting and a decent vehicle chase.
And the villian has to be Bond's equal, and downright evil.
I like a Bond film to tick all of these, though not neccessarily in any order:
1) Have a strong plot, ideally one to think about.
2) Have a convincing villian and tough henchman.
3) Plenty of action - car/vehicle chases, explosions and weapon/fighting battles.
4) Hot women, and plenty of them. I don't want to see Bond pile-driving, but just to know that he has!
5) Interesting locations and well-shot cinematography.
6) Aston Martin of course! Long, lingering shots, and a good chase. Not to mention an aural engine soundtrack.
7) A serious brief or humourous scene with M/Q/Moneypenny
8) A few clever gadgets (when I was seven I ruined my dad's watch (an Omega) by opening the back and putting two powerful magnets where the workings once were a la Moore's Rolex in LALD)
9) I like Bond to trash everything he has been issued with (especially cars).
10) A little humour - not too many glib remarks, but a few more than in recent years.
Let's see how your lists compare to my own.
