I don’t get James Bond. I’m obviously biased; I don’t like the type of masculinity he represents.
The most enjoyment I’ve gotten out of the franchise is from Live and Let Die. Theme song is bitchin’, plus its Voodoo aspects (as stereotypically represented as they are, unfortunately) appeal to my love of horror.
Actually that’s what makes it more enjoyable for me, particularly the Connery era. The hypermasculinity is so over-the-top it’s laughably ridiculous.
