Spaced Out Ace

My opinion is that he's always been a borderline creep with a charming quality who stops awaful people. He also kind of gives his boss shit, sort of like Stone Cold Steve Austin (though the latter was a lot more antagonistic on screen, because wrestling).No one, but it feels gross in a goddam james bond movie, which is historically a series for escapism, to even include details about sexual assault. If they hadn't included that crap it would have been far less weird. I like the entries where James Bond is more ruthless, like Licence to Kill. But Skyfall like, doesn't have him be morally ambiguous except in those couple of misfire scenes. The rest of it he's supposed to be hero spy man like normal. It's badly written. Plenty of people like it, I'm not one of them. It's about on the level of View to a Kill for me. Still watchable, but near the bottom of my list. Certainly way better than Spectre.
Just to be clear: I like him better that way rather than a straight and narrow "hero."
