Trade me interesting dialogue for filler action scenes in Bond 26 any day.

At this point, James Bond has skydived, skied, driven, flown, escaped, pursued and participated in a plethora of villain action sequences. What would really impress me in such an action sequence for Bond 26? I’m not completely sure, but I know it wouldn’t involve a clunky boat or plane as seen in the mediocre chase sequences in Quantum Of Solace, or the inappropriate pursuit of Bond with a child in his car in No Time To Die.

Moving forward, I’d prefer more dialogue and character development if that means sacrificing filler or average action sequence for Bond 26. Historically, Tomorrow Never Dies’ motorcycle escape comes to mind, where Bond doesn’t just escape in his BMW motorcycle, he has to  haphazardly drive his BMW motorcycle with Wai Lin handcuffed, straddling Bond as they attempt their escape. It’s a far cry from a standard motorcycle chase, and I think any other worthwhile Bond action sequence has to have a similar “wrinkle” to distinguish itself from past Bond movies.
