Audiences aren't ready for a "classic" Bond

I remember how many trolls were on here before the movie was made, complaining about how the filmmakers did away with the campiness. They got what they asked for. Some of the gags felt like they came out of the Moore era. I don't think it worked too well, given the mixed reception. I liked it, but it seems like this is one of the Bond movies that you either like or don't. Given the reception of this movie, do you think audiences are ready for more camp? Should the next movie be more like CR and QOS, or this?

They got what they asked for.

NO, we didn't. What most distractors/"trolls" to this current era wanted was a FUN, mission based adventure without all the personal BS that has been dragging the other films down. What we got was "insert camp scene here" mixed with the doom and gloom, Bond is a sad, lonely assassin who needs to get out of 00 work storyline. It tried to be both and failed miserably.

do you think audiences are ready for more camp?

I believe audiences want a good, balanced adventure that doesn't feel like its been there, done that, 3 years behind the curve. We all want to have FUN with 007 again, and you can't have fun with him when they continually make his character and story arcs so depressing and dull.

I've never been camping.

All movies are popcorn movies. Unless you don't buy popcorn.

I think a lot of people in the audience just need to stop finding things to bitch and moan about all the time.
