The movies are all virtually the same; bad guy does something, Bond gets on their trail, teams up with a couple of women (one bad, one good usually), gets the bad guy, figures the bad girl is bad, and then ends up in bed with the good girl at the end, lol. The action is unbelievable, and the bad guys are quite cartoon-like, but to me that's what makes the movies fun to watch. You know it isn't meant seriously, so you can just sit and watch them, without having to think "oh that couldn't happen" etc...same as you would with a comic book hero like Batman or Superman.
