James Bond Thrillers

We all know who James Bond is and if not then we have at least heard of him. If you have, I'm going to go over it briefly for those who haven't. Basically James Bond is an MI6 agent with the designation code of 007. It is one of the longest running films since it was started filming in the early years of 1962 and since this time there have been 22 continued films from the company Eon Productions.

Dr.No (1962)
This was the first James Bond that was to be released and starred Sean Connery. In the storyline, Bond was sent to Jamaica to figure out why one of his British operatives had been killed. This then leads him to meet Dr. Julius No who is trying to disrupt an American space launch with a laser weapon but of course, Bond comes and saves the world (which we see several times in the movies that come to follow) Although the film was filmed in a low budget, it was a financial success and they were able to get a lot of money for what hey had payed for which is basically a $58,000,000 difference of how much they spent.


On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)
This is the sixth movie of the James Bond franchise and was considered to be to poorly shot because of the actor George Lazenby. He was thought to have made the film boring. In this movie though there is a slight hint that James Bond would leave Her Majesty's Secret Service because he was falling in love with Countess Tracy di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg). As you can see from the previous and first movie there is always a villain that is better equipped and have henchmen to do the work for them while you have the agent i.e Bond that has to use their initiative to overcome all of the obstacles that they will come across while Bond will probably only have one gadget to help him throughout the entire mission.

Golden Eye (1995)
Golden Eye is the seventeenth film in the Bond series and is the first to start Pierce Brosnan and was also the first of all of the Bond films to not initially follow the book. The basic plot of the story is that Bond prevents an arms leader from using the Golden Eye satellite from firing on London and causing a massive financial breakdown. The budget for this film was quite big since they spent $58 million and got a gross profit of $356.4 million which is an exceptionally big margin between how much they spent.

Skyfall (2012)

Now to the most recent Bond film. This is said to be by critics and film reviews to have been the best Bond film to be released yet. I would give a rating about it too but i haven't watched it (Hey Hey Hey some of us can't afford to go to the cinema so often!) But from all of the ratings that the film has gotten and to be honest it hasn't really been out for that long, i would say that this is definitely a must see film. I think that what makes it as good is Daniel Craig. Ever since he starred in Casino Royale, people have been wondering about how he would top it and i would say that he really has changed the way that people now see James Bond because it really was beginning to get boring the storyline was just way too predictable.
