    Nothing like buying a money making franchise and then putting your own
    stamp by changing much that the franchise was known for. If you don't
    like what the franchise was known for then why not create your own
    content based on your own ideas of taking the name and not much more
    of a known product.

    It's not as if they don't know gorgeous babes are a key element in the
    Bond franchise. The two I remember best are Jane Seymour (Live and Let
    Die) and Lois Chiles (Moonraker - especially the final scene) though I
    don't think either were the best Bond films.

    Lois Chiles was absolutely gorgeous but Holly Goodhead was a dreadful
    Bond girl; I'm not blaming Miss Chiles. Just a terrible, terrible
    script.

    And Q got the naughty line that time!

    I strongly think at least half of that terrible role was due to "Jaws"
    which was as bad a Bond villain as ever appeared.

    On the other hand, I really liked when they promoted Moneypenny
